Me too thinking same thing, planning to visit back home for 3,4 months, so I should use all my points before leaving, don't want don't want that when in Aug. will came back to Canada have useless optimum card.
And I'm also thinking about all the rain of personalized and mail out coupon from last few months that SDM's current administration wants to stay in our good memories after captured by Loblaws. As it won't be same then. And we all will remember those good old days of optimum points and redemption and all the expensive stuff got b/c of points otherwise couldn't afford lol. funny but sad
