PC OPTIMUM, Lets share deals, offers, info

[Donald - my hero]

I have added a weekly alarm to my phone to go off at 10:30 Wednesday NIGHT. I've found that the offers for the next week tend to be there, sort of greyed out saying they start "tomorrow" while the current ones are still able to be saved. This is letting me know which ones to save and which ones are already going to be there. Since I don't buy very many things from the PC family of stores the same 15-ish or so cycle through regularly for me but a couple i use every shopping trip!

A 10:30 pm alarm would jolt me out of sleep! I can't stay awake that late!! lmao.
I find the 20x points at Shoppers is where I get most of my points. I'll shop there first as long as it's the price as somewhere else. Usually milk, eggs, bacon, cheese, cream and a lot of our staple items are the best price there so it's easy to get up to the $50 or $60 spend I need. Even better when I need to pick up those things for my brother in law!

Reminding you that it's Wednesday and time to roll over those offers that you want for next week.

Thank you! I lose track of days now that we don't have our grandson through the week. I would have totally forgotten.

I have $264 in points right now and should definitely punch well over $300 by the weekend. I love it when stuff I really need is timed with an additional offer.

I still can't believe I managed to cash in enough points back in 2020-21 to pay for our entire resort stay with gift cards ($1700 US!) Now I am just throwing that money into savings and will use it for ticket upgrades, Xmas Party / AH event, gift card for food, souvenirs, etc

It makes the trip costs so much easier to swallow LOL

I'm sure this has been discussed in this thread, but does anyone here have the PC Mastercard? With BMO removing the flight discount in July, I was thinking of switching cards, and I do collect a lot of PC points, so why not this one, especially with 10% in points.

What do you mean by ‘BMO removing the flight discount?’ With this being a PC thread, many of us are not familiar with what other cc’s offer.

I just need to understand more. Do you have a BMO MC and are considering switching to PC MC?

I have a PC MC and will say I put EVERYTHING on it. (lol last week one sale was $0.16 after discounts and yes, put that on my MC). On average, our family of 2 people earn $700+ each year. That’s a lot!!

Also, PC Elite MC includes travel insurance which is an added saving.

BMO Air Miles World Elite Mastercard has 15% off in miles for flights. They are removing the 15% in July and making it one-time 25% discount per year. Horrible.

Yes, I noted that I am thinking of switching cards.

I currently put everything on my BMO MC as well.

I would get getting the PC Elite MC, it says there isn't an annual fee? How can this card not have a fee?

Thanks. I wasn’t sure which way you were considering switching.

You’re correct. No fees for PC Elite MC but AMAZING benefits!!!

I have both and since I get a good discount on my BMO MC I will keep it. I use my PC MC mostly at Shoppers. Every once in a while they will have an offer that stacks with the 20Xs deal. Use your PC MC and get 5000 extra points. It's a great deal.
If I was only going to keep one, and didn't see the benefit of the BMO MC, the PC MC would be my choice.

I am not sure if any of you are on the tickertocker app, but I have been following a lady who is a couponer and finds awesome deals between coupons and pc points. Sometimes she has some great finds - other times not so much.

She is " @livingonaloonie " if you are on there and want to follow her

She had a great find this week on cracker barrel cheese - at Superstore. They had an instore promo of 7,500 points for every 15 dollars spent on cheese then she price matched a walfart price plus had coupons ( that where at the entrance of the store) for buy 2 save 3.00. She ended up paying 21.00 for 30.00 worth of cheese and got 15,000 points back.

I think I'm going to go do that deal - and I will grate and freeze some of it. Cheese is one thing we eat alot of in our house.

I wanted to share this one with anyone here, as this is a good one to get a good return of points.

We have the PC Elite black card,,,and as others,,we put everything on it. The only time I dont is if some of our take outs give 10-20% off with cash,,,well that is always better then the card. But everything that makes sense goes on the card. We are between 800-1200 a year back in points,,,little less now since kids are not in daycare,,,and we could put daycare on there as well.
Currently collecting to have GCs for Hawaii and pay room tax and a few drinks with them.
This is why I am almost non existent with AM,,,that and there never seems anything with AM in my area anymore.

 

[ilovetotravel1977]

@mort1331 plus I would save $130 or whatever the BMO card’s annual fee is since PC ones are no-fee.

 

[mort1331]

Good Morning,,,ITS WEDNESDAY....you know what to do....have a great day.

 

[mort1331]

Late in the day for a reminder,,,hope you all save
