PC Plus Programme

[bdkmosher]

I just got my card today at Atlantic Superstore. I bought $20 worth of meat, and wasn't sure if the card would hold the points until registered, but it did... so I am up to $5 balance on day one. Might go back for some more meat, and I also saw signage on the baby food (large jars) indicating 200 pts per jar. I have to buy baby food anyway, and it isn't on sale anywhere cheaper, so that's a great deal - pretty much the same savings as the $1.50 WUB8 coupon from SmartSource, which I can't print any more of.

What other good deals are out for Atlantic Superstore?

Don't bother going back for more meat, it only works once per card. You could buy $60 in one transaction and get 15k points, but not 20 each in 3 transactions.

One of my personal offers today was 1000 points on any Campbell's soup tin! (no joke!)

So the soup is on for $0.75 per tin right now at RCSS...

Soooooo... I loaded up big time for the Food Bank and ended up with a zillion points (well not really a zillion but you get the idea)

[Grey]

do we get any regular points just for purchasing? or is it strictly points only thru flyer/personal offers?

sorry, i've peeked back a number of pages & did not see ant answer to this.


eg> i have shopped there 3 times since getting my card & my balance is still 0 points.

Re: earning regular points
If you have a PC Financial® card, you will continue to earn points as you previously did (10 points per dollar with the PC Financial® MasterCard® or the PC Financial® World MasterCard® wherever you shop; and 20 points per dollar with the PC Financial® World MasterCard® or 5 points per dollar with the PC Financial® debit card at participating Loblaw stores across Canada).

Thanks for the clarification... that really sucks! And doesn't entirely make sense because it's really the same thing...

WOW! That's awesome!

@AbbeyB-when you just have a PC Plus card and none of your groceries have PC Plus points attached to them, there is no point in swiping your card (unless it's for a redemption of points). When I purchased their special 25th anniversary soda with some needed grocery items, only the soda last week had PC Plus points-got no points on the other items.

So unlike the PC Points program with their debit/credit card which gives points based on dollar value of your shopping, PC Plus does not do the same thing. Points are only given on the special offers/flyer specials/instore items tagged with PC Plus cards.

I signed up for the PC Plus card before going to RCSS last weekend and when I was at the checkout the cashier wouldn't scan my smartphone PC Plus barcode because she didn't think it work. I bought a ton of groceries last week and when I was leaving I went through customer service and they said that she should have scanned it but if I called the PC Plus hotline they should be able to recreate the transaction to credit me with all the points and that we didn't need to rescan my groceries. Well sure enough after I got through the very busy PC Plus phone line they told me that they had no way of know what all of the PC Plus offers and credited me 500 points in lieu. I was kind of disappointed because two people at RCSS gave me bad info and I feel like I kind of missed out. Oh well...just thought I would mention it to spare someone the same grief in future.

Call back and ask to speak to someone else. Last time they had problems with their system, I called them, gave them the transaction number, and they gave me ALL the points I should've had.

$20 is just the minimum redemption, then increments of 10,000 if over $20.

What are my points worth?1,000 points is equivalent to $1. Once you accumulate 20,000 points, you can redeem $20 off your grocery bill. If you are redeeming more than 20,000 points, you must redeem the additional points in increments of 10,000. For example, if you have 37,000 points, you can redeem $30 off your purchase, with a remaining balance of 7,000 points.

When you show your PC Plus™ card at checkout, the cashier will let you know the reward value of your balance, so you can choose to save them up or redeem a portion right away.

I'm so jealous right now. It's been 2 weeks and I still have no offers.

Keep refreshing the app hoping offers will appear. I guess my shopping habits are not interesting enough.

Learnt that the hard way on produce last week, But luckily almost all of my personal offers last week were on produce. (peppers, carrots, onions).

Really nice of you, specially at this time of the year. Win win for everyone!

Has anyone else noticed that since the introduction of PCPlus you no longer get the points for $$ spent on groceries in store when you pay with your PCFinancial cards (either debit card or Mastercard). That is why I opened my PC Financial cheqing account in the first place - the only place where I can see you still get points for the $$ value of the bill is in the RCSS gas bar and you also get the 7c/L voucher.
