[PC Mastercard] PCF Mastercard - 5x Points - July 15 - Aug 15 [YMMV]

That's 5% cash back, effectively!

Sadly, I have no such offer in my in my inbox

I have a PC WE MC and also didn't get any email.

Edit: got the email at 1PM EST!

Received this offer as well.

Here is the fine print :
*Offer excludes Quebec residents. Upon opening this email, earn 5X the regular 10 PC Optimum™ points per dollar of your first $500 in purchases in select categories from July 15 to August 15, 2020. Offer does not apply to prior purchases.
The 5x the points earning is the sum of:
(i) the regular PC Optimum™ earning on your PC Financial Mastercard® (which varies by card type); and (ii) the “PC Financial Essential Purchases Bonus” earning, which is the difference between your regular earning rate and 5x the points on each dollar spent on eligible categories with your PC Financial Mastercard ®. You will also earn any additional points that your purchase may be eligible for at Loblaw banner grocery stores and Shoppers Drug Mart, and at least 30 points/litre as advertised at Esso and Mobil stations in Canada. Your regular PC Optimum™ earning rate will be awarded to your account throughout the offer period as you make purchases on your PC Financial Mastercard® and the “PC Financial Essential Purchases Bonus” will be awarded within 4-6 weeks after the offer end date. Select essential purchases include the following categories:
• Loblaw banner grocery stores
• Shoppers Drug Mart
• Esso™ and Mobil™ stations in Canada
• Restaurant Pick-up and Delivery Services (MCC 5499, 5812, 5813, 5814)
• Audio, Video and Cable Streaming Services (MCC 5968, 4899, 5815)
Eligibility of purchases in the dining and streaming categories is based on the Merchant Category Codes (MCC) shown above. Merchants control their own MCC and President’s Choice Bank has no control over how a merchant is classified. This offer is limited to one per PC Financial Mastercard® account and the offer may be terminated or changed at any time without notice.

So the grocery and gas are not based on MCC but the current accelerator.

dint get this either. I hope there is option to just sign up somewhere
Edit: NVM just received the email

ah that sucks. I was hoping it was 5% on top of whatever your cashback is.

I have the World Elite Card...

For datapoints, I have the World Elite card even though the email just says PC Mastercard.

I have the PC WE MC and I just received the email.

Makes sense, thought you saying WE cards don't get this deal.

got the email as well...applies to GC purchase

Is it safe to assume it's 5% flat out at RCSS? Or is it just for certain items?

How does that work for their gas stations? They already pay 7x the points for Mobil stations so would this be 35x the points?!? Seems unlikely

Flat out at all Loblaws related stores including RCSS

PC World MC is getting shitter...no more good promos are coming ...i used to get quite a bit, lately they aren't sending to me...

do you have to sign up for their emails? i never get anything from pcf.

Was feeling left out, but I just got the email. These are likely sent out in batches and there are likely limits to how many they can deploy at once without being blocked.

Applies on gift cards ?
