If I am not mistaken, you have to register the card before you can get any points.
I purchased some PC yogurt the other day, it said it was worth 200 points. When i got to the till and asked for the PC plus card he scanned it and gave it to me, but when i went online today to register it showed I have 0 points.
so im thinking the scanning part for a new card just activates the card, but you still have to go online and register to get the points part started.
or am I mistaken?
I got points on my new card (she couldn't scan my app) before I registered it, my app showed my old points value for about an hour then the new transaction was added

The scanning is a way of tracking a card as being in someone's possession, but until you set up your online account and confirm the link sent to your e-mail, your PC Plus card is just another parked loyalty card. From what I have seen posted by SCers in Atlantic provinces, they are seeing different points offers in their flyers from what Ontario SCers are getting.
I could not confirm the link in the morning prior to lunch (site had technical difficulties) the first day of the card release in Hamilton. But by the evening, I was able to click through and confirm account. I put the card to use the next day.
has any one been able to redeem this evening, the cashier told my hubby no more redemptions until after the 28th, due to system malfuntions =(
i tried to redeem yesterday...they said the system was down then too :( boo
This morning I picked up 8 pizzas (PM'd Metro), I couldn't redeem so I thought I would do this as a first transaction and then did the $20 worth of meat in the second transaction but once again, couldn't redeem the points; the cashier asked if I had any of the old points (which I did) so I redeemed $20 worth of those. I did get all 45,000 bonus points though.
i was super excited today, redeemed pcplus pts fots for gcs - gas, petsmart and starbucks! Awesome!
Grabbed a card today then went through the cashier and had 5,000 points on the account as I registered when I got home. Only problem was that it said I had to activate my account via the email they'd send me. That email never came but I logged in no problem.
Alert for you:
Colgate Total is apparently $1.65 and comes with 1,000 pts. ($1).
There are $1.50 coupons out there so not counting tax you'd make $0.85 profit on each. (I got my coupons at the dentist BTW).
Don't know when they switch over. Tomorrow might be the last day.
OMGOSH.. that is exciting... I thought of that this afternoon and wondered if it would work..Quote:

She added with a bit of a sly grin that you can't buy cigarettes with points, but you can buy a GC with pts and use that to pay for cigs. Kinda random 'cuz I don't smoke LOLQuote:

Here in NS, the Smoke Shop is a separate entity so you can't use the gift cards in there... (my fiance has tried - stupid habit!)Quote:
