PC OPTIMUM, Lets share deals, offers, info

[marchingstar]

Are the offers for food good at Shoppers as well as all the grocery stores?

yes! unless they say specifically that they aren’t. some will say “shoppers exclusive” at the top.

Thanks, I knew that Shoppers had exclusive deals, but was unsure about the groceries the other way.

Wife went to shoppers without me, rookie...lol. spent $77 came home with 20400. Short about 6000. did not get the 5000 for paying with MC, which she did, so sent off missing points request.
She said there was more to buy but didnt want to go to much over the |$50mark. I rolled my eyes and said, we get 20x for the whole thing not just the $50 so if there was more we should have bought them.
Her response, ok lets go get more. roll more eyes, no Dear it is a one buy shot, cant do again until next offer.
Shes learning and at least waiting now till the offers, she used to just spend and I would asked , could you not have waited for 2 days when the special is on.
So not just the husbands out there.

I goofed. Ugh. My husband & I stopped in Loblaws quickly to grab cheese to make mac & cheese tonight. I had already decided to come back on Monday to hit up my offers, so I ignored my list. We decided to grab a can of Aylmer accent tomates for the mac & cheese. I completely forgot the key word here, "Aylmer". I had a 200 pts for every $1 spent on Aylmer canned tomatoes that I was going to use for the large cans. I make spaghetti sauce from them and Loblaws has them on sale for .99 cents. I would have grabbed 10 cans. I didn't realize until I saw 200 points on the receipt for the accent tomatoes. Darn it. I lost $2 on something I need to purchase.

I have sent for the 5000 missing points for using my PCMC twice now. Received them both times but it wasn't until the second time that I noticed that the 5000 points actually post separately and because of this I got them twice. Keep your eyes open, you may just find the same. They post with this date but not till a few days later. It will be a good bonus if you get them twice as well.

5000 points are usually awarded by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I've done that a couple of times, it's those last minute purchases when you are in a hurry. The only good thing is you'll likely get the offer again soon since you purchased it.

I shopped Saturday for the 5000 bonus. It was a good shop but I went too late and they were out of a few things that I had saved personal offers for. I often shop late without a problem, lesson learned for next time.

 

[Pumpkin1172]

Missed the sale the sale this weekend as we were at the lake with the dd, son in law and the boys. I do see another personal offer for spend 75 get 20x the points. I have a few things I'm needing, and can probably hold off until Wednesday to get them. I should be able to hit that threshold this shop. I'm needing some more $$$ facial items again...so I guess I will maximinze my earnings if I want the spend some $$$ on new face moisturizer. This darn aging this gets expensive some days

i had a great shoppers trip today!

i spent 61.59 pretax, earned 32000 points (a mix of instore offers, digital offers, and the tuesday coupon), and saved 20$!!

the cashier at my location knows me and knows i collect points pretty well. but even she was surprised with the combined savings and points.

Have you heard back?

 

[tinkerone]

It's Wednesday. Time to save your offers!
I woke up thinking it was Thursday and cursed myself all the way to my calendar. So glad I was wrong.

I went in to try to save a couple of offers for next week but the option to save is greyed out. anyone know why?

Did you possibly use those offers earlier this week? I was able to save offers for next week after @tinkerone posted the reminder to save.

some options are limited time only. maybe you’re looking at those? i have a gillette one, for example, that’s not saveable.

Maybe that is it... I was looking at all the grocery ones I have 11 of them and none of them are savable. I have used all the ones from shoppers and superstore for spend so much get 20,000 points etc..

hmm it’s weird that none of yours will save. maybe email customer service?

 

[jcourtney]

Does anybody know how this works? Today I have the "spend $50 get 20x the points" deal. I also have over $50 worth of points that I am hoping to use to buy a Disney gift card (if I can find one) using the trick where you buy $50 worth of stuff and a $50 gift card at the same time. Can I do both these things at the same time? Would I be able to buy $50 worth of stuff, a $50 gift card, redeem 50,000 points AND still get 20x the points on the stuff I bought? Or would redeeming my points make my 20x offer not work?

I can't see why that would not work as long as you make sure your total spend (pre-tax) is still $50+ AFTER redeeming 50,000 points. I believe if your total spend drops under $50 when you redeem, you don't get the 20X points.

If it were me...I would be doing separate transactions. You can't redeem points plus get your bonus 20X the points - even if your purchase is more than you redeem.

If it was me, I would be going through a cashier checkout with my regular purchase to get your 20X the points. I would go take my items out to the vehicle. Go back into the store and get a giftcard - go to self serve checkout and use your points to then purchase the gift card.

Edited to say that there is a loophole at the self checkout that will let you use your points to purchase giftcards. Someone had mentioned this on earlier pages. It might be an extra 5 minutes of time, but I wouldn't chance NOT getting the 20X the points with your purchase. I would do the separate transactions to save myself the headache of having to do a missing points claim only to find out that they don't give the bonus points when you redeem points in a transaction.
