News, Tips & Tricks
A great tip was passed along to us by one of readers if you happen to be
in one of the provinces that do not allow the collection of loyalty
points on prescription drugs, most recently of which is British
Columbia. Although this is not a travel reward points option it is an
option if you shop at Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmprix. Apparently they
award Optimum points when purchasing their own branded gift cards and
then you can use the gift card when paying for prescriptions. By then
you’ve already captured your points. Thanks to Simon R. for passing this tip along to us!
Rewards Canada and one of our readers were featured in a CBC National piece on Fuel Surcharges last night. You can check out the video here or below and also be sure to read about our 5 Tips to Avoide or Mitigate Fuel Surcharges on Award Tickets
