5,000 points

For every $50 spent on Apple Gift Cards (up to a maximum of $500)

I got 10 000 points for every $100 at shoppers ends tomorrow

** cross post with the AGC Shoppers thread **

For those with PCFMC's check your exclusive offers I just got one for AGC's 5000k for every $50, which stacks so that's a decent 20% return combined with the Independent AGC offer.

This year, when you give, you’ll receive. (Points, that is.)
Load your offer in the PC Financial® app and earn 5,000 bonus PC Optimum™ points for every $50 spent on Apple Gift Cards, using your PC Financial® card at participating stores.*
Only from Dec 8 – 14, 2022.

*Offer valid from Dec 8 – 14, 2022 in-store only at participating Loblaw banner stores; offer not available at Shoppers Drug Mart® and Pharmaprix® locations. One-time use only. Limit of $500 per customer up to a maximum of 10 gift cards. Subject to availability; selection may vary by store. See gift card for details, terms & conditions. Offer applies to every $50 spent on Apple Gift Cards up to a maximum of $500 in a single transaction. Cannot be combined with any other gift card offers. Not valid on prior purchases. PC OptimumTM points cannot be redeemed toward the purchase of gift cards.

So if you have this offer get your AGC's from the Independent and (of course) pay with your PCFMC.

I'm going to top up $500 tonight.

Got the offer for RCSS. Also have the PC financial offer for Apple gift cards. (5000 for $50).
Not sure if they stack, but it would be a very good deal!

Yes they stack
The PCFMC offer will take a couple/three weeks to show. Keep a paper trail in case you need it in the future, but you should be good. I have never had an issue getting points via this route before, there is just a delay.

I got the email too but I don’t see the offer to load via the email link or accessing it via with PC Financial app.

I suspect it's the exact same offer, and they're just "letting us know" by 2 different ways.

I only see 1 RCSS offer (+ the SDM offer that's been around for a while) in both the PCF and PCO apps.

(Note that the T&C at the bottom of the email don't actually say anything about using a PCF MC.)

The same thing happened last year, I was able to stack both and get 20%. If you look at the main information, it states there to use your PCFMC. The whole thing is worded inadequately though.

I didn't get the extra PCFMC in the app, anyone care to post a screenshot, curious what it looks like. TIA

Yes the main email says tipsy with PCF card by the T&C doesn’t say that so not sure if they’ll honor it or not

But even if we don’t get it we can submit a point inquiry. Just remember to save the email

Are apple gift cards redeemable through apple education pricing?

Yes

Yes. It's the only way you'll ever get a double stack Apple discount.

Buy these gift cards and then use them for education or refurbished discounted products.

Keep in mind though you lose the extra 12 months credit card protection, so you may want to buy AppleCare, which cancels out the savings. Although that said I've submitted a credit card request for my iMac and I'm yet to see any money so YMMV on that one!

My local store was sold out of the $50 cards. Based on the wording, it sounds like a custom value card for $500 will qualify as the terms state "every $50", rather than "every $50 gift card". However, the maximum of 10 cards suggests every $50 gift card.

Can anyone confirm whether the custom amount cards work?

Thanks in advance.

can confirm i bought 1 $500 and received the points immediately. I believe since its nofrills and not SDM you can confirm before you pay how many points you'll receive from the order but not entirely sure since I never had an issue.

I don't have the app on my phone, I usually use the card, I checked the website and I saw the offer, can I use the card (PC Optimum card) instead? TIA
