The PC Optimum program is Canadians’ flagship loyalty program, allowing you to earn redeemable points at Loblaws, Maxi, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Esso.
Whether you live in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada, you can earn points with every purchase and redeem them for savings on your everyday shopping.
This page explains in detail how to earn, use, and maximize your points, while also presenting PC Optimum credit cards and detailed guides to help you get the most out of the program.
PC Optimum was created from the merger of the PC Plus and Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum programs. It is a Canadian loyalty program that rewards customer loyalty by offering points for every purchase made at participating retailers.
Points are automatically earned when you scan your PC Optimum card or use the mobile app when shopping in-store or online.
The program is designed to simplify points management and provide tangible value for your everyday spending.
Each 10,000-point increment equals $10. Therefore, 20,000 points are worth $20, 50,000 points are worth $50, and 100,000 points equal $100. This fixed value makes it easier to plan your purchases and redeem points.
You can use your points as soon as you reach 10,000, with no additional minimum.
Promotions and special events may offer extra points, speeding up accumulation.
PC Optimum points can be used at several stores across Canada, including:
You can use your points in-store or online depending on the banner. Points can also be combined with other promotions and coupons to maximize your savings. In Quebec and in other provinces, these banners offer a consistent experience that is compatible with the program.
