A few days ago I was grocery shopping at my local Loblaw store. I was excited (not just to replenish my tortilla chips and salted caramel ice cream) but I had just downloaded the new PC PLUS app onto my mobile device.
I had recently learned about this newly launched rewards program and it caught my attention. I’ve got 2 growing boys with big appetites and since I shop at Loblaw frequently this would surely be worth my while.
I had registered in-store for my rewards card. Easy enough and it’s free. But I’m notorious for losing cards. So, the appeal of downloading an app is perfect since I’m attached to my phone 24/7 anyway. I also admit that I’m not good with coupons for discounts. I’m not so good with little pieces of paper so this is an easy way to get perked at the touch of a screen!
What’s unique about the PC Plus program is that it caters to you. Yes, YOU! It pays attention to your spending history. It tracks the products (or similar) you’ve purchased and then customizes special offers that may be of interest to you. So, you don’t have to sift through unwanted cat food specials if you don’t buy that sort of stuff.
How it works…
The more you interact with your PC Plus program, the more personalized the offers become. It helps you save money and time – way more efficient. It also allows you to earn points to put towards dollars off your grocery bill.
Weekly offers are emailed to you and you can select which offers you’d like to redeem the next time you’re shopping. Pick what you want. Last week if I bought celery I would have been rewarded with 400 additional points.
Taking it one step further, you can get organized with it by checking out flyers and recipes with the app – find a dish you’d like to make? Simply touch the screen and not only will you save the recipe but it will also put the ingredients onto your shopping list! Yes, you can maintain your shopping list too!
Hubby shops too? Easy… he can either rewards carry the card or he can download the app onto his mobile device as well so anytime he shops he can accumulate points as well as it serving as a reminder to what’s on the shopping list! Brilliant!
You can register for the PC Plus card in-store and download the app that is currently available on iPhone, Blackberry 10, or Android Smart Phones. If you’re a PC Financial customer you simply need to register your card to the PC Plus program.
So far so good… I’ve used the PC Plus program once over the weekend and it was easy enough. The transaction showed up on my app as well as the points I had accumulated with that purchase.
Hey, since I shop there anyway I might as well earn some rewards that I can be redeemed on a future grocery purchase! And the recipes look so yummy!
This post is not sponsored, nor was I compensated. This experience is my own and who doesn’t want to collect points!
That’s great! I’m enjoying it too! You should be able to have a joint account Julie! From what I understad, If you go on the app there may be a way to add an additional person to the account. Then, download the app on his phone! 🙂
got mine the day it came out! so far so good 🙂 i wish i could link my account to my hubby’s when he gets one, though…
i love having my cards on my phone. all of those cards really take up a lot of space in the ol’ wallet!
