Your points just got more flexible: Pay Down Your PC® Mastercard® Balance with PC Optimum™ Points
TORONTO, ON (September 8): PC Optimum™ points have always helped members save on the things they buy most – including food, gas, clothing and beauty products. Today, those points have a new purpose. PC Financial® is thrilled to introduce an exciting new feature that lets PC® Mastercard® cardholders pay down their credit balance using PC Optimum™ points, adding more value and flexibility to how cardholders can use their points.
“We’re making rewards more flexible than ever. With a PC® Mastercard®, you earn points on every purchase, and now you can use those same points to pay down your statement balance. It's that simple." said Nicole Teixeira, Vice President of Payment Product and Strategy. “It's about choice and we’re letting the customer decide how and when to use their points. With this new redemption option, PC® Mastercard® cardholders can truly tailor their rewards experience.”
This feature is now available across the entire suite of PC® Mastercard® products. PC® Mastercard® holders can now choose a new points redemption option that allows them to redeem points to pay down their credit card balance with a statement credit—making it simpler than ever to manage their finances.
All PC Financial® Mastercard® products offer at least 1% back in PC Optimum™ points1 on every purchase, including dining and gym memberships and everything else. While the PC Optimum™ program for in-store points redemption remains the same, this new feature is an additional benefit to the reward experience by allowing redemptions on almost anything and giving customers greater control on when and where to redeem.
