When my first child was born, one of my favourite places to walk to with her in the stroller was the neighbourhood Shopper’s Drug Mart. As a new mom, I needed reasons to get out of the house, and the walk to Shoppers was the perfect errand. I could get some fresh air and exercise and also pick up the baby essentials that I always seemed to be running out of; diapers, wipes, ointments and baby shampoo. Plus, there was always something nice I could pick up for myself.
Since then a decade may have passed, but I still love Shoppers Drug Mart. The addition of Food Essentials in many Shoppers Stores means that I hardly need to shop anywhere else. Whenever I have a last-minute errand to run, Shoppers is the destination of choice, even if it’s milk I’ve run out of instead of wipes. Even better than the convenience of Food Essentials is the Shoppers Optimum program. I signed up the moment I found out about it and I’ve been an avid Optimum rewards collector ever since. Over the last few years, I’ve cashed in my Optimum points for everything from perfume, make up, things for my family including video game consoles, camera to diapers (lots of them). Shoppers Optimum points have made it easy for me to save big on the things I want and need, and all just by continuing to shop at my favourite store!
Now Shoppers Drug Mart has made it even easier to earn Shoppers Optimum rewards. With the launch of the RBC® Shoppers Optimum‡ Banking Account, your ability to earn points will skyrocket. First of all, you’ll earn double the points on each dollar spent at Shoppers Drug Mart stores, and you’ll also earn one point for every dollar spent when you shop outside of Shoppers – that means you earn Shoppers Optimum points when you fill up on gas, buy your daily latte or even splurging on a cute pair of shoes. Plus, when you switch to the new RBC® Shoppers Optimum Banking Account, you’ll earn 50,000 additional Shoppers Optimum points, and you can earn another 5,000 points for using RBC’s CustomSwitch® program.
As an avid Shoppers Optimum points collector, I love the idea of being able to earn Optimum points on every purchase I make, no matter where I shop. That means that I can continue to earn Optimum rewards on every dollar I spend – which, with a growing family – is getting more and more significant. Here’s the thing: it just makes sense. Shoppers Drug Mart is already in my community, and I shop there all the time. I’ve already experienced the value of the Shoppers Optimum rewards program by redeeming points to get merchandise for a huge discount or even for free. Now I have the opportunity to more than double my potential to earn these great rewards; how could I say no? Yup, I’ll be signing up for the new RBC® Shoppers Optimum Banking Account; now send me those 50,000 points please…I’ve got some shopping to do!
