I was approved yesterday and just checked my PCO account on their app. I see the card linked and the product I was approved for.coolintheshade wrote: ↑ Just a DP
Applied within a half hour of this thread being posted, and my application went to review status.
Received an approval email just now.
EDIT:
Not sure if it takes time, but the card is not added to my Optimum points account.
Last time they didn’t add it either, and it was a PITA calling them to get it done during the new website issue they were having.
Fingers crossed that issue is solved!

I searched rakuten and greatcanadianrebates, neither lists pcfinancial, but figured if there's a way, rfd'ers would know!

Not addicted2fresh, but I got a notification of the website saying "you're approved for World Elite", the website says one email that said "Your application is currently under review. You will be notified of the status of your application by email or mail" followed by an email saying I have been approved.coolintheshade wrote: ↑ Were you instantly approved or under review then approved?
Points accumulated on select items at Loblaws owned grocery stores ( Loblaws, Zehrs, Your Independent Grocer, Superstore, Valumart, ect) or on all purchases made at Shoppers Drug Mart. They can be used on groceries and other items in Loblaws owned stores with the exception of alcohol and prescription medication. Every 1000 points is $1, and the minimum redemption is $10 or 10,000 points.
Did you check to see if your card got linked to your Optimum account?syntaxerror wrote: ↑ Not addicted2fresh, but I got a notification of the website saying "you're approved for World Elite", the website says one email that said "Your application is currently under review.

To add, you get points for all purchases, not just at Loblaws owned stores.syntaxerror wrote: ↑ Points accumulated on select items at Loblaws owned grocery stores ( Loblaws, Zehrs, Your Independent Grocer, Superstore, Valumart, ect) or on all purchases made at Shoppers Drug Mart.

You cannot use your points for Flights, gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, or prescription medication.
It was pretty much instant approval. I got one email saying it was under review followed by another saying it was approved only a few seconds later.coolintheshade wrote: ↑ Were you instantly approved or under review then approved?
Thanks! This seems like a card where it makes sense to NOT get a second card for a spouse, but rather to have them get their own card (and bonus) and then just merge the rewards account as a "family"...
I didn't bother linking it to my optimum account. I assume it would otherwise show up there once activated.coolintheshade wrote: ↑ Did you check to see if your card got linked to your Optimum account?
You could ask, is your household income over 150k? I included everyone in my immediate family currently working as we all still live together.
