I had posted this last week in another thread as well: Within the past week, a cashier at Loblaws told me she had just heard that the Optimum program would be closing within a year. If I understood her correctly, PC Points would replace it. I asked if she knew if we'd be able to convert our Optimum points to PC points, and she said we'd have to use them up. I hope there would be an opportunity to exchange points, but I'm not going to count on it.
