Loblaw Launches Fee-Based Loyalty Program
Loblaw Companies Limited is testing a fee-based subscription pilot program for select PC Plus members who are also President’s Choice Financial Mastercard cardholders.
The new program, called PC Insiders, has an initial cost of $9.99 a month or $99 a year.
“Many Canadians, in particular busy parents, find themselves shopping several of our brands, both online and in person,” says Galen G. Weston, chairman and CEO of Loblaw Companies Limited. “PC Insiders is our next step in making that whole experience easier and more rewarding.”
