A reminder that PC Plus and Shoppers Optimum become PC Optimum on February 1st. I have finished a bunch of interviews over the past few days on the upcoming consolidation and one good question that came up is what could Loblaw's do to promote this. Here's what I said (and feel free to take it PC Optimum) for this coming weekend, February 1 to 4 offer points on all purchases at Loblaw's stores (Real Canadian Superstore, No Frills etc.) not just those items selected for you in the app and then offer 25x points over at Shoppers Optimum. Get your customers in and get them used to new program and reward them handsomely at the start and they won't forget it. I know it won't happen as they probably already have something planned and usually it's never as good as it should be for the consumer. Anyways it's just a thought. Read our post on the merger here.
Hainan Airlines, who already fly to Calgary and Toronto are adding flights to Vancouver. Coming this May you'll be able to fly Vancouver-Tianjin-Shenzen twice per week. Hainan Airlines has their own frequent flyer program called Fortune Wings (you can find their bonus offer listing here on Rewards Canada) or what probably makes more sense for Canadian's flying on Hainan is crediting those flights to Alaska Airlines.
