Our Review

The PC Mastercard offers a 20,000 PC Optimum welcome bonus after you spend $50 in the first two months, all with no annual fee. It’s an ideal entry-level card to start earning points within the Loblaw ecosystem.

  • 1% back in points at Loblaw banner grocery stores, including LoblawsMD, No FrillsMD, Real Canadian SuperstoreMD, MaxiMD, and other locations3.
  • At least 3¢ per litre back in points on fuel at Esso and Mobil stations
  • 2.5% back in points at Shoppers Drug Mart and Pharmaprix
  • 1% back in points at Joe Fresh
  • 1% back in points everywhere else

This way, you earn between 1% and 3% back on your purchases at PC Optimum stores. Your points can then be redeemed for discounts at checkout or a $7 credit per 10,000 points applied directly to your card balance.

With its 90-day purchase assurance, extended warranty, and Mastercard Global Service, this card offers valuable protections for a no-annual-fee card.
