This is a question - Can anyone explain which are worth more and who might be getting the e-mails to transfer? My brother got an e-mail to switch one set of the points to another. Now I'm not even remembering which way it goes.
So which are worth more on cashing them in??? Is it worth changing if you get the invite to do so? I know that SDM points are worth more on mega-refund days - I've been saving up and am nearly at the 95,000 but if they are not going to do the mega-redemptions anymore, then it might be worth it to transfer........HELP!This thread is currently associated with: Pharmaprix, Shoppers Drug Mart

I can only tell you that to move the 10000 PC Plus points over to Optimum means a loss of 2000 pts so that the Optimum points total is 8000 ($10 redemption value).
I'm not aware of equal value points offers between the two accounts. The exchange seems set up based on redemption levels in each program.
I just tried the Optimum to PC exchange link. You need 8000 Optimum to get 10000 PC Plus points so in that way, each program is a $10 out>$10 in equivalent.
Which store works best for you, that is the points program you move towards.2021-Bring on the sunshine, sweets & online shopping.

It all comes down to what you need to buy. A lot of people are switching because of better selection for PC points. Meat, fruits, vegetables etc. Those things are not available at SDM. Plus you can price match at No Frills and RCSS.
I currently have an offer of transferring 22,000 optimum points for 30,000 PC points. It gives you the same number of rewards of $30 and at this level it makes sense to switch, however if you compare top tier, then 95,000 optimum points would be worth $200 on a bonus redemption day ($170 regular) and if I exchange 22,000 four times it would give me 120,000 PC points (value of $120) and I would only have 7,000 Optimum points left. So $170-200 versus $120 and 7k Optimum points.
So if you have a lot of stuff you need to buy at SDM, then redeeming Optimum points at SDM would give you a better value.

Some SDMs sell fruits and vegetables and some meat.

Super expensive cucumbers? Who is buying those? Certainly not Smart Canucks members
EDIT - Yes, technically some of them do have a very limited selection but not where OP shops. OP is located in Southwestern Ontario and on the list I only see stores in Toronto and one in Hamilton.Last edited by Vov76; Tue, Apr 12th, 2016 at 10:36 PM.

I switched about 300$ worth points from SDM to PC so that I can get a Sears GC to buy an appliance. SDM doesnot have Sears GC. so that was my way to go.
Koodo - gets 25$ for both of us

You might be surprised. I bought cucumbers for 49 cents at Shoppers a few weeks ago when no one had them under .99 (regular price was $1.49 at Shoppers). 519 area code, smartcanucks find deals everywhere!
I agree with your point, more and better opportunities converting to pcplus.Last edited by maple7; Sat, Apr 16th, 2016 at 05:55 PM.

Toronto area SCers had posted in the past about food finds on sale at their local produce/meat Shoppers. I had to check the link to see which Hamilton store was listed-it's right across the street from the local university. I have to see what's changed in-store to make way for produce/meat as a Loblaws banner grocery store is also nearby a few blocks away in one direction and a Food Basics store is a few blocks away in the other direction.

At RCSS can you use your PC points to buy gift cards? That might be a reason to move points over as you can't use your SDM points to buy gift cards..... I have the offer on one of our cards - expires tomorrow - not sure why there is a limited time to switch....

I have pcplus and optimum card, but I never got the offer to exchange points. I really want to exchange optimum points to pc points. How can I get the exchange offer?

HQ made the determination as to who was offered the PC Plus<>Shoppers Optimum points exchange via emails in April. I had kept the links but two weeks ago when I tried to see if either one was active again, I got error messages rather than the landing pages. There were SCers with high points balances who did not see the offer but HQ did a bonus points offer in June over two days if PC Plus members redeemed high points at stores.
