The cashier told me that you need to spend $30 before taxes and if its $29.99 you can't redeem and lose the penny like with SDM, it needs to be over

So unlike the PC Points program with their debit/credit card which gives points based on dollar value of your shopping, PC Plus does not do the same thing. Points are only given on the special offers/flyer specials/instore items tagged with PC Plus cards.

If it is something you potentially want points on, you should swipe. It is supposed to learn what you buy, if you only swipe on bonus offers , it will not learn what you normally buy

It was over $30 - I charged $0.92 after redeeming - the PCplus card wouldn't let me redeem $30 only $20 so I redeemed with my MC with no problem - so something definitely wrong with their system - and I have always in the past redeemed for my total bill taxes included with PC points.

PC Points does allow you to redeem with taxes, PC Plus does not according tot he cashier

It was the 5000pts for $20 worth of meat -It is for frozen, deli meat, fresh- I was pleasantly suprised at checkout as I thought it was on fresh only. I did have an additional personal offer on deli meat - so it double dipped on points!

Does anybody know if the meat deal this week includes fresh fish and sea food?

I kick myself as they had the PC dips for 50 % off and it was my personal offer also ....I missed out on this one but I would have given away the dip most likely as the kids would not be interested in all those yummy dips

The flyer offers and personal offers end on Thursday so lots of time to take advantage of this.
Some stores add pink stickers on different days - Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Haha ... BINGO. Thank You!!! :wink:

I may swipe my card (if it works) on a shop when I buy non-pointable items that are once-in-a-while purchases just to see if the personal offers do change afterwards. But for a three or four-item shop during a peak time in grocery store, I'll save everyone time by keeping the keytag or card out of sight.

Worth scanning it always. It only takes a second. Everyone else will be holding you up while scanning theirs. You might as well make your card more "smart" because it learns what you like to buy, supposedly

My store reduces meat/deli/ fast serve counter/bakery every evening around 8 pm - so excellent way to get cheap meat (usually 30% off) and then with the 5000 pts when you buy 20.00 it is wonderful

Bought some more items to get PC Plus points. Noticed that there is a donation box in RCSS, that Durham Police is hosting, so I helped them out.:shade:

Used the self check out today and for PC Plus,
it
was
super
slow.

The cashier said that the points program is so popular this weekend, the system is having a hard time keeping up.:omg:

that makes sense but there was no reason why it shouldn't have allowed me to redeem for $30 - I already paid for $150 worth of the bill with gift cards.

I tried to do a $20 redemption today and added a few items I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise but the system was down so I couldn't, that was mildly irritating and I hope that doesn't happen next time I try to do my next one.

Same for me at 1pm today in Ontario! Wonder if it's the way they are trying to stop all the free pizzas going out the door! Hope it's fixed tonight so I can go back and get the lettuce etc for salad for our dinner.
