Check your emails! You may have gotten a notification that you can exchange your Shoppers Drug Mart Canada Optimum Points to PC Plus Points at full regular value. This might be a worthwhile deal considering the sheer amount of products available at Loblaws in comparison to Shoppers Drug Mart.
Keep in mind that you may need a minimum amount of points in order to exchange your points in either direction: 170,000 PC Plus points or 95,000 Shoppers Optimum points. So, for example, you will not be able to exchange your Optimum points to PC Plus Points if you have less than 95,000.

Thanks for this news. I don’t have large points balances on either card but cannot be surprised something would be marketed between the two programs. No email received as yet.
I recently inquired with customer support at PC Plus and this was their reply:
“Please be advised that a special offer were emailed to a random selection of Shoppers Optimum and PC Plus members inviting you to exchange your points for the other program (one-time offer valid for approx. two weeks). The first members chosen need to have a minimum of $10 worth of points (8,000 Optimum or 10,000 PC Plus) and must reside outside of Quebec.
This is a limited trial to explore members’ appetites to exchange points between the two programs. Each individual campaign will run for just a few weeks, with expiry dates clearly communicated in each email invite”
