PM Vouchers @ Shoppers

rolomonster — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 05:42:37 GMT

Idea for anyone that uses PM vouchers, Shoppers Drug Mart has $100 American Express credit cards on promo that works out to $95.42 each. You can use the AMEX cards to buy your PM vouchers at Shoppers. Saves you about 4.5%. Also, if you have a Tangerine credit card and have 2/4% set up for drugstores, you should get 2/4% cash back on the $95.42 you pay for the AMEX.

I use the PC world elite master card %3

BUT I really prefer buying CanadianTire gift cards for %10 off at Shoppers, so I get the extra %3 there. Then I take those gift cards and buy Public Mobile vouchers at CanadianTire gas bar 🤑 Unfortunately CanadianTire gas bar charges a$1 fee 😞 So buy the biggest denomination you can. I've been doing this for awhile.

I think PM should have more convenient locations for Vouchers as there are still PPL who prefer Old fashioned techniques, and having places like Shoppers, Rexell, 7-11,President's choice, Koodo stores, Canadian Tire, this may help in making it easier for those to get Vouchers easier and efficiently

Most Shopper Drug Marts do have them.

Well, that's excellent.

U know, PM should have some rewards for PPL who use ONLY Vouchers as well, to make them feel very special in the Grand Public Family

Are the Canadian Tire gift cards always 10% off at Shoppers? Even if I don't have a Shoppers Optimum membership, and I just want to pay with any credit card?

NO, this week they are on sale at rexall/pharmaplus in Ontario anyway. There probably won't be another gift card sale for at least 3month.

@Rockdaddy22

My first 90-day renewal is coming up in February and I'm planning to use the Canadian Tire gift cards to buy a PM voucher. I'm already set up on credit card autopay, but I recently ran across this post from moderator Mary_M that says that manual top-ups (including payments by voucher?) are not eligible for autopay rewards:
http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Paying-for-your-service/Bonus-discounts-not-reflected-and-addons-not-showing/m-p/132931/highlight/true#M8744

In your experience, does what Mary said also apply to accounts that are set up for credit card autopay? Since you regularly use PM vouchers, do you still still receive the autopay reward all along by having autopay set up?

I'm also wondering about the autopay factor.

I did read one instance where a moderator informed a customer that he/she was not eligible for the autopay discount because the account was manually topped up.

But, the mere fact that an account has a balance before autopay kicks in doesn't nullify the autopay credit. I know this because the previous billing cycle's rewards get added to the account as a regular account balance shortly before autopay kicks in.

I am speculating that if you are taking advantage of some type of discounted Public Mobile vouchers, you'll probably wish to deliberately make sure that autopay still kicks in at the time of renewal for a at least a small amount of $1 or so.

That is my thought too, to err on the side of caution and underpay slightly when topping up by voucher.
I'd really like to hear @Rockdaddy22 's experience with this. Or anyone else who uses PM vouchers along with autopay, please chime in.

I have no problem getting my autopay credit, I've always loaded with vouchers via 611. You just have to make sure to have a credit card on file and autopay turned on. I always keep a couple hundred in my account.

Thanks for confirming this. Very useful to know, as it makes payments easier to manage.

Have you heard of any more sales of Canadian Tire gift cards going on?

Probably won't be any for a couple months, luckily a have a few grand worth stashed away 🤑

Re: PM Vouchers @ Shoppers

A few grand?

An investment that pays dividends every three months, even as it sits under your mattress.

I must've bought at least $6000 wort last time. My whole family uses them for gas and PM vouchers, plus you never know when you need something at CanadianTire. I haven't paid full price at CT in a long time 🙂
