You can use your PC points toward almost anything you want, whether it’s new cookware for your kitchen, health and beauty products, flowers for someone special or, of course, a discount on your groceries at checkout. The choice is always yours.

Doesn't affect me, I usually only get the 4 blockbuster rental coupons or the 2 cineplex movie passes ofr 20k worth of points.

I have only ever used PC points to reduce my cash outlay at the Superstore checkout. I didn't even know all those other choices were available.

I guess I won't be too disappointed.

isn't spending points in-store the best option anyways? then it's a full 1 point = 1 penny
