PC Insiders 3 month free trial-New Subscribers Only

Deal Link:: https://www.pcoptimum.ca/insiders/en/
Savings:: 100
Expiry:: October 31, 2020

Picked up my PC Express order and saw a flyer stuck in my groceries indicating a 3 month free trial of the PC Insiders program with promo code PCEXPRESS20. Details of the program are in the link below. Been using the Express service a lot recently and with the Insiders program you don't pay the fee so I will be signing up pretty much based on that alone.

I know the PC Insiders programs made a number of changes recently and a lot of people may not find it as valuable but hey, free is free. Just make sure you call in 5 days before your trial expires or else it will auto renew for the year. You can also deactivate your subscription right away and you will keep your benefits until the end of your trial period.

As pointed out by user dekay the offer is only valid for first time subscribers.

Thanks OP.
Any indication as to the code expiry date? Can we still use the code PCEXPRESS20 in December?

You may want to add "New Subscribers Only" to the title of the thread, too.

What would one describe as the main benefits of the PC insiders? Are there special offers etc?

Just to confirm, they don't charge you UNTIL the trial is over? When I go through the checkout screen it appears as though they want me to "pay now". I trust the OP but would want at least another individual to confirm it possible.

Thanks!

If you buy PC Organics products, or baby products, then you will find this PC Insiders program very valuable.

If not, then it’s a waste of your time IMO.

Free PC Express pickup is pretty much the best perk of the program. It's been slowly cut back over the few years since it was introduced, with this year's changes being the most brutal. Unless you're intending upon picking up groceries every week, or buy a lot of PC brand products, I wouldn't recommend it.

Nobody cares which exploitative corporations you give your money to every month. Capitalism is a plague on this planet. Get that crap out of your signature.

Actually, it's 10% back on all President's Choice lines (PC, PC Free Form, PC Blue Menu, PC Organics) and Joe Fresh items, priority & free PC Express pick-up and 5% back on PC travel bookings (I believe it's a 3-day minimum rental car or hotel bookings).
If you pay attention and work it, it's worth it.

Yup, they don't charge until the trial is over. They don't give the welcome box though until after the trial is over.

They’ve changed the whole program now. It’s now a flat 10% back in points on all PC products with no more baby bonuses. It doesn’t combine with 20x at shoppers or other whole department/store offer at all stores according to the new terms. Supposedly it will combine with personal offers. That makes it much less useful in my point of view. I can usually get back far more than 10% just by timing most purchases correctly around other promotions.

That is the old program. The new one differs very much from that one. Now it's 10% back in points in ALL pc products.

What's in your wallet?

Wow! Where have I been. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info!
