Who is Loblaw and what is PC Optimum?

The PC Optimum program has combined two of Canada’s most loved loyalty programs PC Plus and Shoppers Optimum, to become one of Canada’s largest loyalty programs. The two programs had 8 million and 11 million members respectively. Merging these two programs creates a state-of-the-art loyalty program, the first at such a vast scale in Canada, and brings more redemption options and greater convenience to Canadians.

More choice in participation & redemption

Since the launch of PC Optimum on February 1, 2018, more than 14 million customers have already converted to the new program, with customers earning and redeeming points more than 32 million times in the first three weeks. The program, which engages consumers digitally but gives them choice on redemption, has generated more than 1.5 million PC Optimum app or web visits every day. According to Loblaw’s internal customer net promoter score (NPS) survey, 80% of customers were very satisfied with the new program specifically highlighting ease of converting and participation.

Customers are already recognising the benefits of the new program with one customer saying “the biggest advantage of the new card is the ability to earn big points at Shoppers and Beauty Boutique and spend them at Loblaw and affiliated stores. Because Shoppers has special points days and other offers throughout the year, you can now earn big points at the drugstore and then spend those points at any Loblaw-affiliated stores."

We couldn’t have achieved this milestone without Eagle Eye’s commitment and flexible approach, with their proven success in the UK and unique offering, they were the right company to deliver against our plans both today and for the future.
