PC OPTIMUM, Lets share deals, offers, info

[mommasita]

Can anyone explain to me what "Points Days" is?
I am a casual PC Optimum collector and really only get points at Shoppers Drug Mart.

I’m not really sure, but I found this. Hope it helps https://secure.pcinsiders.ca/insidersproject/en/read/article/5-ways-to-prep-for-points-days

Seeing something new today that I haven't experienced before.

When I open my app, all of last week's offers are 'faded' and say 'Expired' but, there are no new offers there, nor are the offers I held over for the week available. I closed and reopened the app - no change.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I can tell part of the app knows it's Thursday as the title at the top discusses 'Points Days' but, no offers to be had! Weird!! I was hoping to hop out this evening to pick some things up as we leave ( ) to visit °o° tomorrow.

I can't load any offers today either. They seem to be having problems with their website.

Edit: Just checked again and the website is working now

Hi guys
i bought the 100$ Keg gift card, no points, I saw in the ad it could take 3 weeks, but don’t remember that before. I’ve done this reward. I put in an Inquiry and requested them. I’m still waiting on my 16000 from my Pepsi purchase last night.

I just wondered if anyone had any similar experiences?

I didn’t get the Keg, but under the same offer, I got the Apple and PlayStation store gift cards. The points showed on my receipt and my balance was updated on the App. It also shows I redeemed the offer, didn’t realize it was one time use only since it’s not a targeted offer, I was hoping to get more gift cards.

I've had the points be delayed before, and I believe it was on the Keg cards as well. I also read that it could take up to 3 weeks, so I would wait that long before I really worried about it. A points inquiry likely won't do anything until the 3 weeks has passed anyway. I plan to buy an Apple GC tomorrow when I go so I will update with my experience.

 

[mommasita]

Thank you both. I was honestly thinking of going for another gift card tomorrow, I’m just concerned I do not get either of the bonus points . I did buy them last year or the year before, and believe it was immediately given. Thank you though, and will wait for your update back @youngdeb12

If you buy the GC from Shoppers it takes a few weeks. For some reason, if you purchase from Loblaws they are added right away. Not sure about the other stores.
This has always been my experience, which is why I dislike purchasing the cards from Shoppers.

oh ok, ty, I’m pretty sure it was Loblaws the last time. And yep, Shoppers now. So although I have submitted it, before I read the 3 week thing, I’ll be patient.

I bought a few doordash cards and got my points right away. Supposedly the terms of service are different between Loblaws and Shoppers. Loblaws is immediate but Shoppers can take a couple weeks. Why they didn't merge their systems when they merged the program, I'll never know.

Just posting in case others have Gift Card issues.
I purchased many gift cards for my family for Christmas at Shoppers Drug Mart.
I did save all the receipts and stapled them onto the cards.
It seems some of them have 0 balance on them. My son went to use the gas card I bought him yesterday and the card is empty (should have $50) on it.
1-800-746-7737 ,,,,, He is going to try and call Shoppers.

They had a big story on CTV news about gift cards from Shoppers. Seems this has been happening to a lot of people lately.

Thanks Hon
Yeah after reading the article I may be making my own homemade coupons and paperclipping money (cash) to them next year.

Or they have said to buy gift cards from the source. So if you want a Chapters gift card buy from Chapters, Shell buy from Shell etc.

Sounds like we've figured out that Shoppers is the source of the issue. I bought $100 GC to Apple today and got the 15,000 points on the receipt. My points days haul was 94,500 and it was all stuff that I would normally buy anyway. I've got over 200,000 points now waiting to be redeemed for Disney GCs!

I didn't know we could still get gcs with points! Is that only certain stores?
