How to maximize your PC OptimumTM points this summer

How To

Make it a hot summer with these six ways to earn more points.

1.
Open the PC OptimumTM app

We know this is basic, but think of it as the easiest way to get your own personalized flyer. By opening the PC OptimumTM app every Thursday, you load your new weekly offers, tailored to your purchases. And of course, there’s something extra special happening this summer. At the top of the app you’ll find offers for products from this year’s PC® Summer Insiders Collection®. What better way to soak up those summer rays, then with points on barbecue favourites, and more.  

2.
Earn additional PC OptimumTM points with your PC Financial® Mastercard® or PC MoneyTM Account

Now you can score points, every way you shop. Love a points-earning credit card? The no annual fee PC Financial® Mastercard® credit card is a fast way to earn PC OptimumTM points on your everyday purchases¹. Rather use your own money? No problem: the PC Financial® team recently introduced the , which works like a bank account that you can use worldwide, even online, anywhere Mastercard® is accepted, and also earns you PC OptimumTM points for every dollar of your purchases². If you’re tracking down items at a handful of different online stores, you’ll earn points for every dollar of your purchases. Fishing gear? Sure. A new pair of sneakers? Of course. Even ordering in after a hard week at work. And it gets even better—these cards actually earn points for every dollar that you spend in addition to the amazing personal offers that you already have coming through the PC OptimumTM app.   

3.
Earn points with PC ExpressTM pick-up orders

It’s nice to be rewarded, but it's even nicer to be rewarded with a bonus.  When you pay for PC ExpressTM orders with your PC Financial® Mastercard® or PC MoneyTM Account, you'll rack up your regular points for using your PC Financial® payment product, plus any available bonus points offers and any in-store offers, too.  

4.

For a yearly subscription of $119 plus taxes, you can and earn 10 per cent back in points on clothing purchases from Joe FreshTM and every single PC® product out there. Yes, that means earning extra points for every  you buy.

Don’t be shy about redeeming

Now that you know how easy it is to earn points at participating stores, don’t be afraid to redeem³ them. We’re talking about using your points to redeem for groceries!  You can also use points to redeem for almost everything from diapers to electronics to bedding. And remember, you don’t have to redeem them all at once—be sure to save some for a little treat for yourself (hello, pretty new ). Cheers to drinks on the patio!
