PC Optimum nerfed?

[Arjon]

Our new offers brought an unpleasant surprise. They are all 100 points per $1. Both our accounts mainly shop at RCSS, so we have been getting 200 per $1 ever since the program started, with only occasional exceptions when an account has been used at No Frills a few times in a short period. Not this week. Anyone else seeing this?

@Arjon I was weirded out by the offer of 50 PC points on each $1.00 for blueberries. Never been that low of an offer before. Isn't that like FIVE cents? In the past it's been 100 PC points per $1.00 spent.

same for us, both our accounts have 100 points for every $1 or 200 points for every $2.

Last week i had an offer for Atlantic Superstore that said "Spend $10 on anything in-store, get 10,000 points." It was so weird....and super easy to use. I have been using the Optimum program since it began and have never seen an offer that good before.

I have an offer for 200 pts per $1.00, a couple of offers for 100 pts per $1.00 and an offer for 50 pts per $1.00.

I always buy based on what is on sale and what I need, any points are just a bonus. If the companies are changing the loyalty programs, so be it. It really won't change what I buy or where I shop.

@Arjon all my offers are 100/$1 except for PC sparkling water which is 400/$2

I actually have one for 100 for every 4.00

Hardly seem worth pushing them until next week anymore.

I like the program overall but there are many changes lately such as points for more of the PC products and not the items I usually purchase. If the program rewards for items I purchase, then it would be nice to get something back. I never buy certain items yet get points promo on them, have had the card for years and I rarely get a points promo on my usual purchases.

I tend to shop at Independent (Loblaws) about every 4 weeks when we receive a $10 off wus $100 PC express pick up offer. I find shopping online for bonus points much easier than I do in the store. The store is simply too big to find the deals. I carry forward the points offers until the week that I shop there.
I tend to do the same thing with Metro offers which offer $10 wus $50 and they happen about twice a month.
SDM very occassionally so doesn't really matter.

pc points offers are getting really bad as the weeks and months go by.

pc points offers are getting really bad as the weeks and months go by.

And I find sifting through to app to find all the offers so tedious. But I am going to keep doing it because I want to save on groceries as much as I can.

At the other side of the country, Canada, BC I have great offers! But I usually hold these offers til when I have money or some of these offers I don’t use.

for a few weeks now, I've gotten offers on my card and then 'poof' they are gone or reduced from 200 per 1.00 to 100 per 1.00. Any suggestions if I had an offer and took a screen shot of it, do you think I can use it and send in request to honour/add points?

Thanks
