I bought more today, and didn't get double. But still happy with the advertised 2000 pts b/c they're sooooo delicious!!! Going back for more tomorrow. We can't keep clementines in the house for long

I went back to Loblaws today, hoping to get some more of those clementines (even if not with the 4000 pts as I got before, I would have been happy with the advertised 2000 pts) but I went to a different location and what was left of the clementines were disgusting. They were smaller than what I had bought, many were brown, and some were sunken in with rot. Ew. Oh well, at least I got 1 good box.

I wonder if the clementines "double points glitch" is over now then?

Was going to go today to get more, but only want them if they're free

Can anyone else confirm their points from Sunday?

We shopped on Sunday and only got 2000 pts, so I am guessing the glitch is fixed.

If you bought Buitoni pizza, assuming you did, that's legit, so why would they take back your points?

Some people are claiming that PC took their points away and their balance is now in the negative. I tried to do it but the points weren't added to my account. When I got home I went through the policy and it states "If any PC points are awarded to your Account in error, we reserve the right to deduct the number of PC points awarded in error at any time, and without notice to you. We are not obligated to honour a request to redeem PC points added to an Account in error."

I don't know if any of those items have (in store) points associated with them (some personalized offers perhaps) but what I am concerned about is -- what are they going to do if they go into the system to try to revoke those points and they have been spent? Will they go after the gift card balances (can they do that?) Best case scenario is, they put your PC points balance in to the negative so you won't get any more points until those have been "payed back." I really don't like how they handled their own error, if they take back the few points that I earned yesterday after giving them $104 of my money (this is money that they now have regardless of whether I have products or gift cards) then I don't think I'll be shopping at their stores any longer. I rarely get points from this program, it looked like they finally did something for their customers but it was all a mistake that they scurry to take back.

I bought $1000.00 in PC gift cards and they gave me 200,000 points I spent them 2 days later, I just pray that they can't touch my gift card balances!! I tried calling the 1-800 number on the back of the gift card to check my balances and it said it was unable to find my gift card. Not too worried, I don't think they can touch them legally!

I got 4 X 2000 pts, so 8000 pts on those today!!!!!!!

I received 16000 points for buying 2 boxes

[RamenQueen]

No way they can touch them. That's cold hard cash in the GC whereas the points are just points. It would be illegal to take back actual cash.
I can't believe the amount in the negative on your account. I'm guessing (like someone mentioned before) that they may not let you get a new card now under your name.

Not a great way to roll out a new program. If they have kinks in their system, they should fix them and move on instead of taking back points. Not like a big company like Loblaws can't absorb some extra points!

-17,500 points for me today

I guess PC will get the hint, eventually, when they have thousands of accounts being abandoned because of negative points after this fiasco. IMO, if the gift card exclusion were important then they would have put it in the flyer (like any other self-respecting company, I see "gift cards excluded" all the time so when this was not stated in the flyer I thought that the gc points were legit.) I thought about mailing them my card, with a letter explaining the lunacy of their actions, if/when they revoke my points (when I did give them the money they asked for and I have used the gc's already) but they probably wouldn't understand bad business practices. Regardless of what they have in fine print on their website, this is just a bad financial move for them.

[RamenQueen]

Especially considering that they don't give base points on everything you buy, only on bonus offers. So essentially, they are telling everyone which products or what threshhold they have to reach to get a certain offer. I'm guessing most people have altered their buying habits at Loblaws lately on occasion to get certain points, so it should be a win win for both sides, but guess not!
