I am definitely redeeming my SDM points this winter while they still have the value I collected them at.
Just waiting for a bonus redemption. I won't be collecting points at SDM much in the future anyways, Haven't bought much there over the past couple of years.
i'm planning for the same thing, now i just need 8,000 more points LOL

Good for them, but since I very seldom intentionally stock more than a few months' supply of anything, it would take an exceptionally sharp deal for me to make an exception.Quote:

Since I tend to do quite a few small grocery shops that don't reach the current $20 minimum, this element holds more appeal for me than for someone who routinely spends more than $20.
I will be looking for a bonus redemption day and redeeming my points that way.
I never shop at SDM anymore anyways and had been waiting for a good opportunity to spend my 50,000 pts.
I have collected over $800 with PC Plus and I mainly shop at loblaws umbrella stores.
I am happy with PC Plus and look forward to any improvements they might make.
I just think that for myself I would feel better spending my SDM now. yes they will initially convert at the same value, but I wouldn't be surprised if the spending power of those points collected under Optimum didn't degrade in value in the near future.

I got an email with that offer and I do not have their mastercard
Has anyone seen the flu shot coupon booklet return? It was awesome last year

This is a possibility, but not one that concerns me much. If I don't redeem before the changeover, I'll probably have somewhere in the range of 150k to 200k OPT points. Assuming the latter, that's $358. Even grocery shopping for two, that won't take long to spend. So for me to lose significant value, the PCO points would have to be devalued very quickly. From what I've seen so far, it looks as though the PCO is trying to limit how much (probably including how quickly) it moves away from what we're used to (including point values).Quote:

I agree. I don't shop at SDM much anymore, and when I do, it's usually for grocery or household items that are on sale or that I have a HV or FPC for. I'm looking forward to being able to count on my points for grocery shopping - even though I will have to travel 2x as far and take a bus instead of being able to walk to my sdm as I do now. I have only about $20 in pc points at the moment. and over $500 in optimum points. I do plan to do a redemption in Dec. :) Also, I'm part of the Pharmaprix class action in Quebec waiting to hear how many points I'll get, and when.Quote:

Has anyone had trouble recently getting their wus points when using coupons that bring you below the threshold? I did a few weeks ago. Called in to get my points and was told it was because of the coupons. I've done that promo 6-8x always using coupons and always got my points automatically. The CS supervisor said it was a fluke that I got them before.
Just wondering if something has changed... I know the offer says after coupons etc., but like I said was never a problem before.
