Basically, they use the PC pts to track consumer behavior. This is the example they provided in the email:
If I buy laundry detergent every 3rd week, they will send me an offer for detergent every third week (!!!!!!)
Really?!?
Well, what if I buy detergent when it is on special? Or when I have a coupon to use? Or when I see it in a clearance bin? Or what if I am shopping for another family member? This already throws off their tracking of my spending habits!
They seem to be under the assumption that the consumer does ALL of their shopping at Loblaws. Given this, I am not sure this points program is for me :(
This reads more like a rant...but it sure felt good to let out my aggravations with this program!
