I had that happen too. I was furious. I complained enough and asked them to elevate my claim and they finally gave me my points

COSGIRL, DID YOU redeem points to Rcss gift card normally ? Or did you have your pcplus linked to the PC Card?

I scanned the PC Plus card, bought a couple of items and $60 in GC, redeemed $60 worth of points and then paid the $4.xx I owed with my Scotia debit card.

If I get a Spend $40 get 5000 points offer, would I get the 5000 points if I buy gift cards (3rd party or RCSS)?

Thanks

I could be wrong but with bonus points offers, I do not think they allow you to buy gift cards. It is usually printed on the website when you click on the points offer -- more details there.

I didn't get bonus points for buying GC, I redeemed points and spent them on GC.

You are correct that if you have an offer spend $$ and get xx no of points, it excludes GCs and phone top-up cards etc.

You can cash in points for gift cards, but dont get points for buying gc (even if u pay cash)
that why it doesnt make sense they wont allow treat points as cash when paying for purchases

thanks for the replies!

It is the same concept as the Optimum Points. If you use your PC Points to pay for a purchase of X points WUB $x, you do not get the points however if you use your points to pay for a product advertising x points then you get the points.
