PC Plus Programme

[Cake]

Got some bonus offers this morning. Cleaning supplies and chips.

I got a PC offer of 1200 BP for Gatorade 581 ml. Does anyone know how much these cost? Walmart.ca has them for $1.88.....I'm assuming Loblaws or No Frills would be about the same.

[Ciel]

You are in the ballpark for a single bottle. Is the deal for single bottles or 6pk of 581ml bottles?

I'm planning on getting blackberries since I have a 1000pts offer this week. If I buy them with points from my PC plus card, I should still get the points on he berries, right?
It only becomes an issue when coupons are involved (as far as I understand)

Doesn't specify. it only says 591 ml but the picture shows a 6 pack.

I've used coupons with PC point offers and haven't had any issues. Maybe just certain stores.

You will get the points. I've only had issues when I'd redeemed points for "get x number of points when you spend y dollars" type offers.

It also becomes an issue if your points don't show up immediately and you need to do a points inquiry.

Technically, according to the PC Plus Points policy guidelines, you're not entitled to receive points for a transaction in which you also redeemed points. If you have to do a points inquiry, you may be told your offers don't quality because you redeemed points to pay for your groceries. I had this happen to me once so now I'm careful to ensure that, when I want to earn points, I don't redeem in the same transaction.

Curious....was this at SS?

1200 pts for Oral B manual toothbrushes. On sale for $1. Also fell under the spend $20 on health & beauty get 5000 pts offer (jewelry and toothbrushes!). Used the buy 3 save $3.50 P&G coupon and made money this week on toothbrushes.

Usually love PC plus, but was missing almost 30,000 pts from our shop the other day, 2 emails and no response! Called and finally got them added! That's too many points to not stay on top of it! Not one offer showed up on my receipt even though the card was scanned and the offers were added from the desktop, hoping it was just a glitch!

Thanks, I did get the points!

I was worried about this, but didn't have any issues. They also state that points are not transferable, but that is not true. You can transfer points to a different account once a year. Maybe they need to update their website?

Got a pretty awesome deal this week. DH's offer was 800 points on No Name juice. Bought 8 boxes of orange juice at No Frills today for $0.98, which works out to $0.18 per box (plus deposit). Very happy.

Alternatively, we could have bought apple juice (orange never in stock) at RCSS for $0.88, so $0.08 per box, but the limit was 2 and we go through lots of juice here, so did the No Frills deal with no limit (especially because orange is more popular than apple in my house).

I received an offer for 1,600 for fresh blueberries. Blueberries are on sale for $2.00 at Fortinos! Mmmmmmm, lots of fresh blueberries!

Question, I'm sure already posted, but hoping someone can help. I was hoping to spend some points on the infinity hair curler on sale for 89.99. Would I be able to take advantage of the bonus offer of 5000 wus $20 health and beauty as well? So spend 89.99 in points and get back 20000pts?
