For PC Plus, you can link accounts by filling in the last 13 digits of your PC Plus card, or by logging in to your account. For Shoppers Optimum, you have to input the last nine digits of your card. PC Financial customers will have to input your credit card details.
MORE: What the new PC Optimum program means for youIf you used your Shoppers Optimum card between January 30 and 31, your PC Optimum balance won’t reflect the points you earned in that time.

PC Optimum says that it’s due to a high volume of registrations:
But think twice before hopping on the phone with PC’s customer service. Other customers are reporting that linking their accounts at checkout at Shoppers Drug Mart took just a few seconds with no problems. This might be the hassle-free choice:Hi Maz!

After trying all the site suggestions, I went to my local Shoppers, ta da done in seconds. The clerk said “Youre not supposed to do it online. Go to the stores, hand in your card, they’ll be linked”. And they are!!!!! Why why why why couldn’t PC Optimum just say that?

Wont link my card on app or online
I have been trying for months now to merge the points balance on my Shoppers Optimum card with the points on my PC Optimum card – there was a substantial balance. The customer service representative who I spoke to today said that they had all been merged back in September and I had essential spent them all. I have a receipt from a store saying that I still had them all on the card November 11! Had to hang up.
So Frustrated,
Michele

I’ve been trying to contact PC Optimum for almost 2 weeks now for missing points. Everytime I call (numerous times a day everyday) all I get is they’re experiencing a much higher than normal calls and to try again later. Then I get emails from PC asking me to contact them to fix my problem. I’m beating my head against the wall. Does anyone have any answers for me?
