President's Choice Points redemption

[canadiankorean]

I did a quick search and didn't see this.

Anyway, I redeemed my PC points for some bestbuy giftcards at an RCSS store.

I asked and they said I could use the points for anything in the store even giftcards for other stores.

Worth a look if you have a lot of points and don't see anything at the superstore worth using the pts for.

You don't eat??

Hmmm, that is pretty good, although I'm certain I can find something to buy to eat at a supermarket.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. Though I just use my PC Points for groceries anyway since I shop at No Frills all the time. Recently passed $700 in rewards!

You eat?

I purposely don't eat so i can buy myself cool gadgets and stuff I don't really need.

I know you are saving the same amount by buying groceries but what's the fun in that?

I always will have to buy groceries.
Why not use the pts for something I normally wouldn't buy? That's what I think.

Oh and I posted this because I just found it nice that RCSS would let me buy a gift card of another store.
Why can't Shopper's do that?

What difference does it make? You spend $100 in points on some PC thing at Best Buy, or you spend $100 in points on groceries so now you have $100 extra in your wallet you can spend at best Buy?

The only difference is by doing it your way you are artificially restricting your options for the reward (you are limited to the places that Loblaws sells gift cards for).

You have to eat, Loblaws has pretty good prices, just use them there.

Nice alternative way to obtain gift cards to give away as presents.
Thanks OP.

Thanks for the tip. Didn't know it was an option for BB gift cards.

I was in RCSS today and couldn't find any gift cards besides prepaid phone and RCSS. Was there a specific section they were in? Customer service?

Do PC redemption have to be in multiples of 20$. I was not able to pay 3$ with PC points.

Not in Toronto. Loblaws is one of the worst in terms of price here.
