PC Financial Launches The PC Money Account

After offering 3 credit cards, PC Finance is now launching a prepaid Mastercard, very similar to the one offered by Stack (both in terms of fees and visuals)!

The great perk is to get PC Optimum points for current transactions, for those who pay with their debit card. However, using a credit card for groceries, gas or drugstores is often much more rewarding in terms of points.

Earning PC Optimum points

10 to 25 PC Optimum points per dollar on each purchase

With PC Argent and your PC Optimum member account, you could earn 10 points per dollar on every purchase and up to 25 points per dollar for purchases at Shoppers Drug Mart / Shoppers Drug Mart.

As PC Optimum states in its terms and conditions, these are actually bonus PC Optimum points per dollar of purchase, compared to the PC Optimum points you would normally earn as a member:

  • Earn 5 regular PC Optimum points plus a bonus of 5 PC Optimum points per dollar of your purchases with your PC Money™ Account.
  • All PC Optimum members earn 15 points per dollar of eligible purchases at Shoppers Drug Mart or Shoppers Drug Mart. When you use your PC Money Account, you will earn an additional 10 points per dollar of your purchases.

Bottom Line

PC Optimum continues to expand its range of services to its customers. After credit cards, it’s now the turn of the PC Argent prepaid card to enter the wallets of PC Optimum members.

PC Finance is clearly aiming to attract a segment of its clientele who are used to using debit cards, or who have no access to credit.

If you’re a PC Optimum customer, there’s no reason not to get this prepaid card: no credit check is required, and it’s an opportunity for you to earn more PC Optimum points!
