Shoppers Optimum Bonus Redemption Event

ByMatt

Even though the Shoppers Optimum program is coming to an end, we still have until February 1, 2018 for business as usual. This weekend, Shoppers Optimum is once again offering its bonus redemption. This is the promotion I usually wait for before redeeming my points, so that I can get even more value from them. The promotion is as follows:

Spend 50,000 points and get $85 off + $20 worth of points back (or 16,000 points)
Spend 95,000 points and get $170 off + $40 worth of points back (or 30,000 points)

Pointshogger on CBC Talking about new PC Subscription Program

ByMatt

Loblaws is launching a fee-based subscription program for either $9.99 a month or $99 a year, which is suppose to give you more perks with the PC Plus program. I was asked to speak about this matter on CBC’s On the Money, which is now available online to watch.

I will also write down what was discussed and add a few nuggets that I did not have time to speak about.

This offer, which runs between November 15, 2017 to December 31, 2017, is only valid to RBC Avion cardholders, not just any RBC Rewards credit card. Valid credit cards are as follow

Updated Review of Carrot Rewards

ByMatt

It has been a few months since I started using Carrot Rewards, as there seems to be a demand for me to update my experience. I am not going to repeat what I already shared in my last post, but I will provide an update since.

Reward Option

Initially, I started off with collecting Aeroplan miles, but later decide to switch to Scene points. I thought it would be more useful to collect points for date night with my wife. I have my wife earning Aeroplan instead, to stay diversified.

Receive 3 cents off Petro-Canada with RBC

ByMatt

Just as the last Petro-Canada and RBC promotion expires, a new one begins. Last time, there was a 2 cents off promotion.

What is the promotion?

Now, they upped the promotion to 3 cents off per litre and earn 20% more Petro-Points on qualifying purchases made at Petro-Canada. What makes this more significant, is that it is on top of any rewards that you would normally earn with your RBC credit or debit card (granted there are no rewards with debit cards, but you can get something!). To triple dip, you can still present your Petro-Canada loyalty card to earn your regular points.

American Express Membership Rewards 25% Avios Transfer Bonus

ByMatt

It has been 18 months since the last time we saw an American Express Membership Rewards transfer bonus to British Airways’ Executive Club. Personally, I thought that we would never see a transfer bonus like this again from American Express, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a 25% transfer bonus. 

Transfer bonuses are my favourite way to boost my loyalty accounts.
