Using your PC Optimum points for groceries is like paying with cash – 10,000 points equals $10 off your bill. The process is straightforward and can be done right at the checkout, but knowing the best times to redeem can maximize your savings.
Where to Redeem
You can redeem PC Optimum points at any participating Loblaw banner store across Canada. This includes:
- Loblaws
- Real Canadian Superstore
- No Frills
- Fortinos
- Zehrs
- Independent Grocer
- Valu-Mart
- Dominion (NL)
- Your Independent Grocer
- Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix (for groceries and other items)
- PC Express (online grocery pickup/delivery)
How to Redeem at Checkout
- Scan your PC Optimum card or app: Before paying, ensure your PC Optimum card or the barcode in your PC Optimum app is scanned.
- Inform the cashier: Tell the cashier you want to use your PC Optimum points. They will ask how many points you wish to redeem.
- Choose your redemption amount: Points can be redeemed in increments of 10,000 points ($10 value). You can redeem 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 points, and so on, up to the total value of your purchase or your available points balance. For example, if your bill is $25 and you have 30,000 points, you can redeem 20,000 points for $20 off, and pay the remaining $5.
- Confirm the redemption: The cashier will confirm the amount of points being redeemed, and the discount will be applied to your total.
Redeeming with PC Express
When placing an order through PC Express for pickup or delivery, you will have the option to apply your PC Optimum points during the checkout process online or in the app, similar to applying a coupon code.
Pro tip: While you can redeem points anytime, the absolute best value comes during PC Optimum Bonus Redemption Events. These events, often held a few times a year (especially around holidays), allow you to redeem fewer points for a greater dollar value (e.g., 50,000 points might be worth $60 or $70 instead of the usual $50). Keep an eye on your PC Optimum app and emails for announcements about these events to maximize your savings.
