I just found out tonight that one can no longer upload receipts to pg good every day . ca
I thought the upload receipt button was just moved but, no.
The FAQ says

Why am I unable to upload a receipt on P&G Good Everyday Canada?
As of November 2, 2023 P&G Good Everyday Canada will no longer accept receipt scanning as a way to earn points.

Lovely... One more thing that makes me turn to other brands. P&G offers so much to the US customers (ex. coupons, scan receipts, rewards, etc) and NOTHING for Canadian customers.

Just watched The Fifth Estate episode revisiting the horrific garment factory fire 10 years ago in Bangladesh. I've always despised Loblaw period. So, no surprise they are STILL having their Joe Fresh brand clothes manufactured in roughly 27 various UNSAFE factories in Bangladesh. More attention needs to be given to the conditions that workers there are helpless to speak out about. Fire Safety? non existent. Building construction up to par? Unlikely.
I say stop buying anything that Joe Fresh makes. That might get some attention.

Yesterday, there was a text offer of 10K WUS $30. I also had an offer of 3000pts for every $10 on The Body Shop. I saw online that the 250ml shower gel was $13 and the 750ml was $26.
Buy one big bottle for $26, get $4 filler, get 10K and 6K (2 x 3000pts)

They did not have any at any of the stores we visited and concluded that they are only sold online.

When I got home, I tried to order online and when I checked out, I couldn't and told me to go to the pharmaprix website. Quebecers cannot order from shoppers website and only can order from pharmaprix website.

When I went to the pharmaprix website, there are no The Body Shop products.

Even if I wanted to order, I can't.

@walkonby I will watch that Fifth Estate episode this week. I recall that Loblaws was the only major vendor that signed up first on the agreement to ensure safe factory conditions at sites contracted for Joe Fresh clothing items after the massive public outrage in North America over brands that had their clothing made in Bangladesh in the affected factories. Either the watchers are not catching the factory owners in the act or some sleight of hand is at work.
@couponmummy Not sure how you can make use of the offer but here's hoping you might find products by calling stores. Maybe you have friends in other provinces living near Body Shop stores that might know of local product inventory and can help you out? Just glanced at the Facebook page and customers are upset that points and gift cards cannot be used in-store either.That oh-so-satisfying feeling of a fresh refill. Can you guess the scent? 💭💚 Find a refill station near you: https:///3I9S2Qu | The Body Shop | The Body Shop · Original audio | Facebook

I KNEW gas was going to go up on April 1st, BUT totally forgot to top up the gas tank yesterday. Happy April Fool's day to ME!!
I pumped 50.60 Litres and my OOP was $75.86. I benefited from my PetroCan deal of .13 cents off each L. but I still feel ripped off!
Small comfort knowing the Climate Action deposit is increasing....GRRR, this still annoys me.

What's going on with Bell phone services? Found a message that a tech is doing an Internet installation tomorrow? Both Bro and Mom each had a phone with Bell (from Bell) but no one said anything about a Bell visit. The toll free number only got me to a sales person who offered to transfer me. Not accepted. I said I will call tomorrow and stated we've been with another company since April 24 for phone and Internet.

Almost daily, the call display shows one number or another from Bell or purporting to be Bell, since April 24. The Universe better explain STAT what is going on.

Second call this morning (and I get menu options on this call which was not the case with earlier call). Got someone in Loyalty who managed to figure out the problem but we spent several minutes that could have been saved. Tip-have your Bell bill for whatever residential service handy to provide the Customer ID number. The account number on the landline service letters was not quite long enough and did not yield necessary account record on the employee's end.

Just happens there is a survey to conduct on recent interactions. I will do it to give credit to the Bell person who answered my call after I made all the various menu choices! Also for allowing me to vent somewhat as I was really keen to get resolution before 12pm today.

Update: still got a voice message after 12pm about the tech visit. have not seen the van on our street so I am watching. Wonder how long it will take for resolution to reach tech. I assume that visit paperwork was printed off yesterday...feeling sorry for affected customer waiting for service...
