PC Optimum - SDM and PC Unite Feb.1 2018!!!!

[Anna Michele]

Thanks for all the information! I've also been trying to figure out how to best "link" my cards/points. I have control over my dad's, sister-in-laws and my optimum cards, with a combined total of over $800 pts. However, dad and sis-in-law each have their own PC plus cards and they collect those points, and I have mine as well. I'm debating transferring all the optimum to my optimum card and just link up that to my PC card, and letting them do their own thing. However, the big dilemma is that I actually use my optimum card least, because I only ever get $1 off milk, and they always get 20x the milk offer. Makes me want to take over one of their cards instead, since I buy 5-6 jugs of milk a week, and always get 20x the points on it! Still have a couple weeks to figure it out!

Each optimum card can be set upwiththeir own pc optimum card then link all the cards together that's what I plan on doing

Have to figure all this out too with family and family friends. I am currently controlling over 3 (Sorta 4) PC Plus Accounts, those being two of mine, my fathers and I help out a family friend with her PC Plus and 3 Optimum Accounts, Mine, Fathers and Step Mothers. I would assume it will work as follows;

Dad Optimum + Mom Optimum + Dad PC Plus -> Dad/Mom PCO
My Optimum + One of my PC Plus -> My PCO #1
My other PC Plus -> My PCO #2

Want to try to keep two PCO cards if the PC aspect of it will still be the same for me (One card may have better offers one week versus the other card), if it changes, then I'll just merge all my accounts onto One PCO card.

Can't wait to see what happens come the first!!

Not sure if it matters at this point but

I was in sdm yesterday and he cashier entered 3 pantene bogos (I believe as coupons not fpc voucher) then I remembered to redeem she didn't void the coupons she redeemed and went on with the rest of my coupons It was a happy moment so no having to one up the cashier just let it go let it.go let her/him do it however she wants

so, what happens if you are over the 95000 / 170 .00 top level..

do they adjust it up so you transfer more $ over to the pc joined card....

It isn't a redemption, and they are changing the program, so there won't be a restriction on how many points you have for transferring.

Has anyone notice how the staff keep asking if you want to redeem points? I usually have to say that I want to redeem points .... in the last month I have been asked every time I go in if I want to redeem my points.

Yes, and drat, my husband fell for it this week, gah!
I appreciate him doing shopping when I can't, but he 'forgot' that SDM points are different than using AM at Sobeys, so he really thought he was doing a good thing by redeeming $30. However, had the cashier not asked, he would have never thought of it...

I haven't noticed this at all. It seems clear that SDM is trying to encourage redemptions before month-end, but the stores are independently owed an operated, so what you're seeing is probably because the management at your store(s) has told their staff to ask.

I fell for this on the weekend - the cashier told us that after feb 01, 10,000 points will only give you $10....

I feel duped!

No, as I have few points and it's rare to keep points over 400 anyway. I've been donating my trickling points to the one donation option.
@Natalka -yes, I feel for your points loss but I also see why your DH went for the suggestion.

I'm super curious about the new program, and how they are going to roll it out. I suspect a honeymoon period where it is super easy to earn points before they really scale back the ability to earn. A whole new system to learn! Which is sad, since I know the optimum program better than most cashiers and can walk them through anything on the till. Curious about coupons and FPCs etc. Like I said, a whole new system and we are all starting from scratch!

@Anna Michele -I actually saw the FB link on the PC Plus email that I checked today. Had not realized that the Facebook page was up but did know the Twitter handle went live late last year. Thanks for sharing the news!
I had to load both my PC Plus and Optimum points offers-a few interesting ones.

Did 20x today for diabetic supplies etc. Happy to have $700 worth of points to spend on groceries next month.

just curious,
what was your out of pocket expense?
are you fully reimbursed by insurance?
how do you proceed getting reimbursed by the insurance company?
do you require a script?

sorry for all of the questions... genuinely amazed at that feat and would like to learn from you
