People were posting long before the points were taken back that they hoped points would not be taken back so already people had reason to believe this may happen. The offer did clearly state that gift cards did not apply, so by purchasing gift cards a risk was being taken.
I also find it funny (not as in ha ha funny, but ironic) that so many people are comparing PC Plus to Optimum considering was it not last year when Optimum had an issues and people had points taken back as well. I think everyone that is saying how much better the Optimum should also remember that Optimum had their glitches as well. Lets face it I think every points program out there at some point or another had a glitch or a change that has upset customers.
As much as people want to protest it PC has made their decision.

My 20K pts are still in my account but im sure they will take it away by the weekend. I will not be upset if/when they take them away. I knew the rules and was trying to take advantage of a glitch and knew this might happen prior to buying the gift cards. They are not screwing us over and I am still happy with this program.
I wanted to try the gift card thing too.. But didn't.. I think we get caught up in getting a great deal.. Knowing fully that there could be problems later on and then get mad when points are taken away from us. Like others mentioned the rules was in black and white.. We were just hopping to get way with it. :) But I'm sure PC will lose out $$ because of this. As gift cards are not revenue for them. ( excluding PC gift cards). Even after this I'm still shopping at PC stores ..hopefully the will get all the kinks worked out .. but so far I've saved more $$ with them than I have with any other Pts system so far.
Are you going to spend the points before they take it away?Quote:

My financial cards are linked to the PCpluc account so I can't just get rid of it like others say they will do. It was a glitch tried it and I knew that they could be taken away.Quote:

If enough people did this I am sure it set off alarm bells in their system.
It seems we live in a culture where many want to get ahead and push these offers to the limits. Be grateful for the legitimate offers they had in the first few weeks of the program at the Superstore, Loblaws, Zehrs etc. Take a step back this time of year and appreciate what a store like this has to offer. They bring in an incredible variety of products from around the world to serve you. Many people in this world do not have access to stores like these. You are quite privileged when your main problem in life is with a bonus points system.
no, as I read before it would leave me with negative credit.Quote:

I have no problem with PC, I saw the flyer like all us and thought to myself spend $1000 and get $200, pretty good deal. Did not read the fine print, just thought great deal!!!! So few days later, was on here reading a post and people were wondering if it would work, so I posted a picture of my receipt. With all the free dish washing soap and pizza, ground beef, orange juice, soup, turkeys I could go on and on with all the free stuff that I got. I LOVE PC plus!!!! I am negative -199,650 but I have two cards, so I will be seating here waiting for the flyers to be posted cause I still have $1000 to spend. I am not angry at all they put me in the negative, lesson learned!!
I am glad you said that. I said it this morning but didn't want to start anything and then leave for work all day, so I edited my comment to nothing.Quote:

EDIT... Kudos to anyone who has the balls to admit when they're wrong. :top:
Mine are gone. 60k points. I earned them honestly. I buy GC every 2 weeks on pay day. I'm a little annoyed though. I mean, I knew you weren't supposed to get them but I bought the GC anyways. But to give me the points, and then taunt me with them for 2 weeks then take them away. That's bad customer service in my opinion. They made a mistake. That's not my fault. But, I'm not going to cry over it. So be it.
