Christmas is coming and it means two things:

#1 You will have some shopping to do

#2 You will probably have to stop by Shoppers Drug Mart because the little one is having flu again

With the Shoppers Optimum Card, you can combine both activities and earn more rewards point for your money spent.

We all have to go to the drug store and especially during winter time. It would be great to be able to earn more rewards from all those purchases. The Shoppers optimum card provides a generous reward points system. You can earn points everywhere and more than double them when you shop at Shoppers Drug Mart.

By signing up to the Shoppers Optimum Card, you automatically get 2 gifts:

- You get 15,000 Shoppers Optimum points after your first purchase (worth up to $25 while shopping at Shoppers Drug Mart)

- Get a 1.99% APR on balance transfer for 6 months (maybe the best timing to open your Shoppers Optimum Card Account is after your do your Xmas shopping in order to transfer your credit card balance over to the Shoppers card).
