This week at Loblaws owned stores purchase a $20 long distance prepaid card and receive a $5 bonus! The $5 bonus will be added onto the card itself. This deal runs until July 31st. The prepaid phone cards can be bought anywhere that sells the Presidents Choice brand. I find these cards really handy when your travelling and don’t want to pay roaming fees on your cell phone.
I used to use PC for longdistance until I came across Smartreach. it’s c1.9 cents across US/Canada. NO gimmicks, call from Cell/Home. Best of all they’re canadian company as well. Oh if you signup they also have $5 bonus http://www.snurl.com/longdistancebonus
Ooops should be http://snurl.com/smartreach5bonus
Can someone tell me where this deal is advertised? Don’t see it on the pctelecom website. Thanks.
hmm… will consider both! thanks!!!
thanks Tina for the above link, I signed up and worked just fine. Using now with my Fido cell service! You can even save your most called long distance # as in speed dial. Love the local 416# and no need to enter PIN.
Great service.
I think the smartreach deal is better than PC, because PC requires $20 load on card whereas smartreach only min load is $5 + $5 bonus, will last me easily for a year 🙂

Thanks for the info on Spartreach, i will definitely try it!
I decided to try SmartReach but it’s asking for a PIN for the $5 bonus. Anyone know what the PIN is?
@Feihan: I signed up as well and here is the link,

I also just loaded $5 and they gave me $5 Bonus free by email. Basically they send you a bonus card by email and you apply it to your account 🙂
I love the service so far!!!! NO more of those PINS and phone cards lol
thanks for the above link and coupon! I was looking to buy prepaid card until I read the post. It’s so easy called from my cell phone even let me create speed dials 🙂
Also received my $5 bonus in email within hours.
THANKS! worked like a charm. Got my $5 bonus right away!
Have tons of minutes to call family over the holidays
The Snurl marketers are spamming – beware !!

the first link posted didn’t work for me so I tried the 2nd link and yes it worked and it took 1 day to receive my bonus $5 card in email.
So far I’m pleased but I still have my $25 PC phone card but I’m afraid I may loose it so I like the online option better.
I don’t think PC is offering any promotions this month 🙁
PC deal is back – they say between March 1st and March 31st.
P.S. I decided to try to get the bonus through their call center (added $20 on my existing card) instead of going all the way to the store and they let me 🙂
Just came back from across the States voyage – these cards aaved my butt! called my gf from everywhere, talked for god knows how long.. never got disconnected or got given a crappy line (i don’t like the cheap voip stuff that don’t let you hear the other person).. definetely a moneysaver!
+1 second link worked just fine for me and I did indeed receive the $5 top-up bonus 🙂
I don’t like phone cards per se so went with smartreach service just because they give you a toll free #. I was in vegas last week and had to make calls to reserve our tickets to coach bus to grand canyon. Had no change then realize I could dial toll free from pay phone 😉
Totally worth it …
Hi, I used the link under Tina and got my $5 coupon but where do I apply it in my account?
I have used the PC card for several years.
My biggest GRIPE is that it expires in 6 months, no matter what the balance was. However, you can renew the card by adding $ to it and the previous balance will go onto the card as well. Your card again will expire 6 months from the date you last add $ to it. You cannot renew using the 866# used to use the card.
^ that was the main reason I was tired of using PC cards or all other calling cards. I’m so glad I tried smart reach, initially little skeptic but was surprised I got my $5 bonus voucher in few mins. 🙂 Now I have $10 balance and the csr on the phone verified it doesn’t expire!!!
I will be traveling a lot during Christmas and this will help us a lot because it offers a toll-free # to use from hotel/payphone – what a great idea!!!
Also the rate is very competitive, 0.02/cent plus with bonus, it become 0.01/cent a min.for US/Canada.
How long after you’ve signed up do you get the $5 bonus by email? I signed up this morning?
Y is my card expiring nov 28 I have not had it longer than 2 months. And it says it is good for 6 months what the eh I should 4 months left
Use hello bolo long distance phone cards. Easy to use, easy recharge, no pins, no expiry and excellent voice quality. Rates are very reasonable.
I dont understand why cards for international phone call expire, just lost $22, it is like kind of FORCING you to load it 🙁
I purchased a $5.00 card and got 5 minutes. It’s the first time that happened as I normally get over 100 minutes at 4cents a minute. The card lasted 1 call. I usually have a card last months
Our Superstore no longer have these cards , where /how can I get them ? I use them a lot !
