After experiencing a variety of errors with the new app, I was finally able to add my old Optimum card. I’m glad that it worked because taking it to a store wasn’t really an option for me. Other than the in store 15,00pts wub $100, my offers are junk. The location service is also working, even if it only tells me one store in my community, and doesn’t automatically show me locations in other cities.
So I made my son his account by linking his optimum card and his pc card online(laptop)He had no optimum points and only a couple of thousand pc points as it was.
I then made myself my own account with my optimum points 200,000 and I don't already have a pc card so followed those directions.
The thing is now if I sign into his account my points are there and when I sign into mine it shows the points are in my account. I doubled checked and these accounts are not linked.
@maple7 - thanks for the reminder. I have to re-train my brain to remember that now $1 = 15 pts!Quote:

I was at superstore yesterday and they had one guy converting pcplus cards and the line was long. I just need one more new pc optimum card to convert my other pc plus card. then I'll add that one to the household points pool of the first card.
In the PCO chat yesterday, a couple of things we already "knew" about the offers were officially confirmed. The current ones are generic for everyone, and the ones each of us receives will be personalized over time. No timeline or other details afaik.Quote:

I sent an email off to Loblaws with a copy of the receipt asking for an explanation. No response yet. Not impressed with this new merged program at all.
Not quite sure why if you previously had PC Plus we are getting generic offers. For something they have been advertising for so long I do not think the roll out went as it could have.
Did you have any personal offers for anything you bought?Quote:

Obviously, they had tons of purchase history data, and equally obviously, little or none of it has found its way into the offer generation part of the new system.Quote:

So - complete speculation warning - maybe integrating it was always planned to happen post-rollout, maybe it was supposed to be part of the rollout but wasn't ready in time, maybe they chose not to integrate the histories because they didn't see as much value in doing so as I do so they opted to start new histories from scratch, maybe... We may never know.
In the past, you would only have received points at ATSS if you bought something for which you had a personal offer or that had an in-store offer. This hasn't changed.Quote:

yeah -got my new p.c optium card instore -she scanned it ,I had already combined my other 2 cards p.c and optium ,she told me to go home and register it ,but I didn't need to as when I put the number in it said this p.c optium is already in use,so maybe she was wrong
-anyway got my 5,000 when I spent 40.00 and my milk 20 times the points
I think when they scan it in store after scanning your old card that links the card.Quote:

I just looked at my new p.c optium number and it is a different number from the key tag one that is adjoined to it is that normal ???? just curious
Yes, I saw the same thing so attempted to scan both to make both were linked and it said already linked when I tried the smaller card.Quote:
