Hope it all goes well! A friend was at an office last week and we’re told people start lining up there at 1AM each day!!Since its nice and early thought i would remind you all to save offers today...nothing else to do while waiting in line at passport office again ...lol..cant do anything but laugh.
I’ve got the PC World elite MC as well. We take frequent advantage of 20X the points at SDM as well. Sitting at 750$ of points so far for the year. We usually use the redemption at SDM 300$ for 200 PC Points at Xmas.You can purchase GC with points but you need to be creative.
You cannot go in and purchase a $50 GC using just $50 worth of points.
You can purchase $50 worth of groceries, add a $50 GC and pay using $50 + 50,000 points. I did this yesterday.
I pay for everything using my PC WORLD Elite MC and yes, earn points that way including g when I purchase GC.
Hope this helps. I know others will have more suggestions too.
Welcome to PC Optimum points!! Doing all you can they add up quickly!! We are a family of 2 and average $700+/year in points! I haven’t found any other program that can touch that!!
Welcome to the dark side,,,,lol,,,,no I think a lot of us were in the same boat for a while until AM dried up.Hi everyone,
I have to admit I am a bit sad to be joining this board as I am an AVID Air Miles collector. That said, most of my miles come through shopping at Safeway/Sobey's and I am not sure how much longer they will offer them in Alberta.
So, I am filling up with Air Miles while I can to hopefully get 4x 7 day WDW passes for future use. We do currently have a trip planned to DL and I was planning to purchase gift cards for meals etc while on site and wanted to see if:
1) Can you purchase gift cards with PC points?
2) Do you earn PC points on the purchase of gift cards? I see that they are excluded from the bonus point email thing that was just emailed to me, but was not sure on regular point earning.
Thanks!!!
2) Using Points
These are done in increments of 10,000 points = $10 unless there is a spend your points promotion. You cannot use these points on the purchase of gift cards.
Just a recommendation that if you do get a MC to get the World Elite. It is free but offers more points than the regular MC plus, includes travel insurance too. That in itself is another savings and provides peace of mind for those quick 'hop across the border' trips (if you make those) as you're even covered for occasional day trips, not just longer trips paid for with the MC.I am seriously thinking about getting a PC mastercard just to bump up my points. I am not one have a gazillion cc, as having too much credit is just as bad as too much debt. With finding AM harder to collect, I am wanting another points based program to focus on and reap the rewards. I already collect about $600.00 a year in points.
Is it really worth getting a PC card?
Thanks for that info! I might have to talk to dh about opening up a new one get more points.Just a recommendation that if you do get a MC to get the World Elite.
