I used to be active on SC but life has side tracked me for awhile. I currently have 190,000 Optimum points and am hoping they have the bonus redemption in early December. I am curious to know what the general consensus is....I am thinking about cashing out all my points. Are others planning to do the same or do you feel the rumours of Optimum's demise are greatly exaggerated?
So many coupons....so little time!

The Previous SDM Points Program expired around 2011, i forgot when exactly.
They just renewed it for another couple years.
Just like the AirMiles program, they will give you notice of changes.
But it does look like there making changes, fewer points offers, redemptions since loblaws takeover.
They won't scrape it, but it might change to PC points.

Thanks....my concern is that they may drop the value of points, so it may make sense to spend them now if one were being cautious. While I would actually be happier to have them converted to PC points, I have a feeling they wouldn't be worth as much. Will have to think about it.

Just speculation, of course, but I suspect that's what they were doing when they were allowing a redemption to PC points earlier this year. Selected people were getting various redemption levels (some at the highest and some at the lowest) and I wonder if they were just making a note of how many people redeemed at the lowest level to see how widely accepted it was.

Hi there. The SDM Optimum program is NOT ending on the 31st. See http://smartcanucks.ca/shoppers-drug...erms-extended/ It is extended indefinitely with the caveat of being vulnerable to ending with a 45 day notice past which you have 90 days to redeem. I don't know how or if the new Ontario law on the non-expiration of points for GCs and loyalty programs applies here. I think the new rules are to reassure Optimum members while leaving SDM room to merge with PC points in the future. But that's just me speculating.
