For those who don’t want to deal with No Frills, Shoppers Drug Mart, Provigo, Loblaws, Real Canadian Superstore, Maxi, etc., there are other ways to save money elsewhere.
You may have recently closed your PC Optimum account or cancelled your PC Mastercard credit card. If you’d like to put your efforts into another grocery program, take the time to read about the various possible combinations in this article.
Now, it’s important to choose a credit card that offers a high points or cashback multiplier for grocery purchases, to avoid leaving points on the table.
Costco warehouses aren’t coded like a grocery store, so you won’t get any extra points.
Only BMO AIR MILES credit cards have a special “warehouse and wholesale club” category for Costco, with twice as many miles.
Walmart Supercentres treat Mastercard credit cards like groceries. So you’ll earn the grocery multiplier based on your credit card.
For example, you’ll earn 5 points per dollar on all your purchases (groceries, clothing, furniture, etc.) at Walmart!
There are 3 Mastercard cards to choose from for cash back at the grocery store.
A Visa credit card stands out if you shop at Sobeys grocery stores.
With the Scotiabank Visa Infinite* Passport® card, Scene+ points give you $10 off your grocery bill for every 1,000 Scene+ points you earn.
3 Scene+ points / $1 at IGA, Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, etc.
2 Scene+ points / $1 in other grocery stores
CIBC Dividend Cards give you great cash back at the grocery store. In fact, we’ve declared the CIBC Dividend® Visa Infinite* Card the best cash back card in Milesopedia 2024!
American Express cards are accepted at IGA, Longo’s, Metro, Farm Boy, FreshCo, Foodland, Safeway, Sobeys, Super C and Adonis, among others.
American Express Cobalt® Card Membership Rewards points are very flexible! They can be redeemed for cash or transferred to other programs such as Aeroplan, Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, etc.
In Canada, there’s no other card that earns so many points at the grocery store!
The Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card is the best, with 6 Scene+ points per dollar for purchases at Sobeys-owned supermarkets.
6 Scene+ points/$1 purchase at IGA, Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, FreshCo, etc.
5 Scene+ points/ $1 purchase at other grocery stores
This is the perfect time to find out if another credit card is better than what you had before with your PC Mastercard!
One of the best is the Scotiabank Gold American Express® Card if you go to Sobeys Group grocery stores.
Alternatively, the National Bank World Elite Mastercard® is an excellent choice, as you can also use it at Costco.
