DoorDash and PC Optimum Team Up for New Loyalty Rewards in Canada

Ordering food online has become a regular part of life. Apps like DoorDash make it simple, from quick lunches to late-night snacks. Meanwhile, many Canadians collect reward points while shopping in stores. One of the top programs is PC Optimum, which gives points for purchases like groceries, medicine, and daily items. Now there’s good news. PC Optimum and DoorDash have joined forces.

With this new partnership, we can collect PC Optimum points when we order meals or essentials through DoorDash. It’s a smart way to get more value every time we order from home.

We no longer have to choose between convenience and rewards. This partnership helps us save money while getting what we need delivered fast. In this article, we’ll explore how it works, what we get, and why it matters. Let’s take a closer look at how DoorDash and PC Optimum are changing the game for Canadian shoppers.

What You Get

• 5 points per $1 spent on eligible DoorDash orders after linking your PC Optimum account.
• Launch bonus: For the first three months, we get 10 points per $1, double the usual rate.
• Big welcome bonus for newcomers: 25,000 PC Optimum points when we make three orders of at least $20, 15k on the first, and 5k each on the next two, all before July 16, 2025.
• If we’re already DoorDash users, we still get a gift: 5,000 points upon completing one linked order over $20.

How It Works – Step by Step

1. Open the DoorDash app or website.
2. Link your PC Optimum account.
3. Order at least $20 (before tax and tip), from restaurants or Loblaw stores via DoorDash.
4. Points are added automatically at checkout.
5. Watch points add up in your PC Optimum app.
6. Redeem them at participating Loblaw stores later on.

Just one link per account. And no points on alcohol purchases.

Why This Makes Sense

• For Loblaw & PC Optimum: It turns store loyalty into delivery loyalty. They reach us where we spend time browsing and ordering online.
• For DoorDash: This brings in PC Optimum’s 18+ million members. It boosts order frequency and grocery sales, especially via their PC Express system.
• For Us Canadians: We get value on every order – dinner, snack, or groceries. We don’t choose between convenience and rewards anymore.
• Real-Life Win: Think of it like this: we order pizza for movie night, say, $50. We earn 500 points normally. During promo, that’s 1,000 points!

That’s about $1 off in store (1,000 points = $1). Plus, the big welcome bonus can feel like free groceries.

Watchouts & Smart Tips

• The boosted 10 points/dollar ends mid-September (three months after June 16).
• Welcome bonuses end July 16, 2025; set calendar reminders.
• Alcohol costs don’t count.
• If we order small often, the $20 minimum may block us. So, batch purchases for max point gain.

How It Stacks Up?

Compared to Scene+ or Air Miles, this partnership is rare. Most loyalty programs stick to stores or online shops, not delivery. Here, DoorDash covers both food and groceries under one loyalty umbrella.

What’s Next?

This could start a trend. We might see Uber Eats or SkipTheDishes follow. We could get loyalty deals covering pharmacy visits, cosmetics, and more via delivery. For now, we enjoy this unique combo of convenience and points.

Final Thoughts

This partnership gave us a great deal. We earn real value when we order food or groceries. The launch boosts it even further. If we use PC Optimum and DoorDash, we should link today. Especially before July 16 to get the full bonus.
