the things she was very sure on was yes there will still be all the things that makes the shoppers program great.. the spend your points events, the bonus points event the 20x points events, the personalized coupons and she was pretty solid on them keeping the tier system but didn't know about how the breakdowns would be, if she finds out more info she'll let me know she said she does have hand out at work that she'll grab for me that may have more detailed info

The converter is now fixed, and your 109,500 pts is converting to 195,945, so = $196.
I assume your statement that for you 1,000 Optimum points = $2, takes into consideration those special redemption days when you redeem 95,000pts for $170 worth of stuff, and get bonus points added back to your account, since max. redemption rate of 1.789 yields $1.78 per 1,000pts? But hey either way, that's close enough to $2 isn't it.Last edited by Pointsman; Sat, Nov 11th, 2017 at 09:29 AM.

To me, a former national marketing manager, it makes a good deal of sense that the SDM side of PCO will be implemented in a manner that`s relatively similar to what we`re used to, mainly for the obvious reason, the natural tendency of customers to question and to react negatively to things that are unfamiliar. Basically, the more unfamiliarity, the more discomfort we`d feel, leading to more of us reacting more adversely.
This is hardly the only consideration; marketing is considerably more involved and complex than many people realise. For example, the farther away the drug side of PCO moves from the current program, the less useful the years of data collected from the OPT program becomes in terms of things like predicting how well various offers, events and promos will drive incremental business, which factors into decisions like how much inventory to buy and how to distribute it based on historical regionality trends.

Thanks to Anna Michele for starting this thread ... lots of good comments / questions have come forth which are all helping us understand the implications.
It was only because of the SmartCanuck forum, that I realized, how good the SDM loyalty program is; unfortunately, that was just in the last year or so, but recently had managed to accumulate 95,000+ pts, so redeemable at the highest value ... 1.789.
Since then, and especially since this news, we've taken advantage of a few promos / and personal coupon offers, like 8,000pts wus $30, 20x pts wus $50 (today) and my wife just transferred her 19,000 approx. pts today, to my account, to take advantage of the upcoming one time Conversion opportunity at 1.789 factor.
I/we now have just under 150,000. which converts to approx. 268,000 PC Optimum pts. so $268 for Gift Cards, PC Mobile, etc. Yippee!
Overall verdict: 2 thumbs up.Last edited by Pointsman; Sat, Nov 11th, 2017 at 08:50 PM.

They have been doing like questionnaire answers period on facebook.
They said we will still be able to push our pc offers. They did nt redpond if the same can be done for sdm offers (fingers cross)
They said there will be offers for both and offers for each individual "stores" ie sdm and liblaws will have some of the same and some store specific. Everyine will be clearly labeled in the app
The sdm 20x and other awesome earning offers will still be offers. (i meant to ask about our monday wed friday offers)
No base points earned at loblaws that will remain the same.
Many things will remain the same essentially each will have their own offers

Just got one of my fav SDM offers ... 8,000pts wus $30, good Nov 15th only. I usually try to take advantage of this promo, as $30 is not difficult to achieve with 'on sale' and 'need it anyway' items. I look at this a $14.30 free money [8,000 x 1.789], that will add to the 150,000 pts [$268 value] I now have, and let it convert on Feb 1st to PC Optimum points. I'll likely end up redeeming them for $50 Gift cards, like LCBO, Marks, Golftown, etc..
But what about that pesky restriction that now prohibits redeeming PCPlus pts for Gift Cards you might ask?
Since majority of our grocery 'shops' is in the $50- $60 range, I simply add my fav $50 Gift Card to the order.
Redeeming 50,000pts is allowed, as they attribute it to the groceries, but to me, hey, I just redeemed 50,000pts for a $50 Gift card.Last edited by Pointsman; Tue, Nov 14th, 2017 at 08:28 AM.

Haven't seen the 8000 wus 30 offer for a while. since it's one of my favorites too.
And barring some unexpected combination of circumstances, I will have at least 95k points to convert to PCO, so I'm now valuing the points I collect at $1.79 per 1000 instead of the admittedly somewhat conservative $1.50 I was using until PCO was announced. The latter was due to how I shop at SDM; I seldom spend enough to redeem 38k, never mind 50k or 95k. But even though my grocery shops also tend to be small, I regularly spend more than $10.

Hey all.. I have seriously been out of the loop here for a long long time but hey, life happens. I am not sure what to think about the new points program. On the surface it sounds like a great deal but than again, there has to be good things for the company too. It is just my opinion but I can totally see the 20X offers being either less frequent or a higher spending threshold. I haven't really studied the program either.
So a question to my fellow members: What is meant by pushable offers???Is it baseball season yet?

On the mobile app, you can choose up to three of your personal offers each week to delay until the following week. Once pushed, it is no longer available for the rest of the current week. The same offer can be delayed a few times, giving you time a few weeks to wait / hope for a sale.
