Not sure where you are located.
Was it the Atlantic Superstore?

Hurry into to your local Provigo, Loblaws, Zehrs, Your Independent Grocer, valu-mart, Atlantic Superstore or Dominion** store to take advantage of this one-day only offer!

---

maybe that's why there weren't any signs in Real Canadian Super Store:shrug:

^ you have to admit that they are pretty forgiving about giving points that you feel you should of received

I'm wondering if the program rounds up prices when awarding points. For instance, I received a Pantene offer today of 2000 pts for each $8 spent. Does anyone know if the points would be given if I buy two at $3.98 each?

Thanks in advance.

Their rounding is hard to predict, but I'm pretty sure you're okay for your Pantene

I just did it with the goldfish at RCSS. I bought 4 of them at $1.98 each with 400 for every $2.00 and I received my 1600 point

And co51 just got approved for my $2.00

And I really had to do the send in for the flash light story thing if you buy three of them

Thanks. I'm pretty sure I've benefited from rounding up in the past, but couldn't find a receipt with an example. Fwiw I asked PC Plus Member Services and was told that "Any purchases will be calculated to the full dollar paid (example. $1.99 will be credited for $1)." Looks like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left is doing.

So true, they must have no clue as to what their system is doing or really don't care, think I've had as much as $0.05 under the amount round up for my points (Ex. $1.95 -> $2.00)

EDIT; Just to add even more confusion to rounding, I noticed when I got some pork (YIG Sale -> RCSS PM'd) that the rounding is even more ridiculous!!

Got $57.27 worth of pork and had a point offer (200/$1) and got 11,600 points, now here's the confusion...

57 X 200/$1 = 11,400PC, so it rounded by $0.73!!!! Up to $58.00

When you go to the actual co51 deal and click on it for more info and then you scroll down a bit there is a separate deal (they have a link there) that if you buy three goldfish products and submit your receipt (again) you will receive a story time flash light.

Here is the link to the other deal as well https://goldfishpromo.com/

It has been mentioned earlier in this thread that when you PM products that require re-stickering to PM (e.g. pork) and have a PC Plus points offer for it, then you benefit by receiving points based on the price prior to the PM. So you paid the YIG sale price when you PMed it at RCSS, but you received points based on RCSS's price.

Check your accounts tomorrow as you should have a few new big point offers. From what I was told they will be on new pc items and as usual some will have more offers than others.

Oh, I do know about that, that's why I love PM'ing Meat and even better for me on Student discount day since I get the discount on the Pre-PM price, It's just the craziness with rounding, $0.73 up makes absolutely no sense and they say that $0.99 doesn't round to $1 :shrug:

The rounding is hit and miss. Last week I had something that came to $x.96, which was $0.04 short of the threshold for the offer, and the points were not awarded. I was surprised by that one, but didn't put in a points inquiry, since I know the customer service staff at PC Points always say there is no rounding up.
