As to the price increases on the loaves-we as shoppers were aware of the price of flour had gone up (hard to see $4.99 anymore as a sale price for 10kg bags-$7.99 is the new sale price), but reading that 10cents was added each year to the bread prices is plain greed.
@bhlombardy - wow, no wonder you're not a fan of prepaid cards!
Lots of great ideas for using those prepaid cards - thanks everyone.
For the record, I'm not a fan of the prepaid visa/mc and I have never purchased them. I have received several as goodwill gestures for poor customer service or in a promotion. Actually, I did have one bad experience with one I received from P&G - the $5 prepaid card acted like a credit card so when I went to applied it toward a $15 balance, it ended up doing a credit card charge for the other $10 to some bank in the US. That was a hassle. Had to convince the manager to refund the total charges, paid with my usual cc, went to another store and did a $5 only purchase with the prepaid card, then called P&G and gave them hell.
Please remind me, when are we supposed to expect the $25 Card?
I'm sure it will vary from person to person.Quote:

I applied bright and early the morning of Day-1 the site went live... (January 8th) My status hasnt changed, and to this moment still reads "Your registration has been received by the Program Administrator."
That registration confirmation said within six weeks but other processes including fraud management could mean card arrives up to 12 weeks after registration.Quote:

Does any know if you had to be 18 years of age between 2012-2015 my younger DD is only 18 now can she request a card. Tia
Got two gift cards today, for husband and me.
I'd say she is eligible to apply for the card as the age limit seems to be applicable now. https://www.loblawcard.ca/Quote:

i would also recommend your DD to apply for the gift card too. the online form asks for the date of birth so they should be able to tell the age and determine if she qualifies or not.Quote:

Apparently you can't use the card in SDM . Maybe SDM was not part of Loblaws, when the bread fixing was taking place :shrug:
Not sure, when exactly Loblaws bought SDM .
Weird you can collect points at both places now, PC Optimum , plus SDM now sells lot of Loblaws products under the PC brand name, but you can't use this card at SDM .
In fact If I were Loblaws I would encourage people to use the card at SDM since they are overpriced store ( higher margin for Loblaws ) as opposed to a low price store like No Frills ( lower margins for Loblaws )
