How is my personal information used?
Please see our Privacy Policy for more information about how Shoppers Drug Mart manages Shoppers Optimum Member information.
What is the policy for exchanges or returns?
In order to make an exchange or return for purchases, the original cash register receipt must be presented at the time of the exchange or return. The Shoppers Optimum Card associated with the original transaction will have all points received from that original purchase deducted from the cardholder's points balance. In the case of an exchange the appropriate points earned with the replacement product will be added to the cardholder balance.
How do I receive points for my prescription purchases?
Points cannot be awarded on prescriptions in all provinces. Check with your Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacist to see if this is permitted in your province. In provinces where points can be awarded on prescription purchases, simply present your personal Shoppers Optimum Card to your Pharmacist when you pay for your prescription. Points for your prescription* purchase will be added to your balance within 24-48 hours after your prescription has been filled. Once awarded, these points will appear on your cash register receipt the next time you make a purchase. A Shoppers Optimum Member may only accumulate points for prescription drug purchases filled in his or her own name, with the exception of any of the member's children under the age of 16.
*In those provinces in which points can be awarded, points are awarded on the full value of the patient's prescriptions.
If I don't have my card with me, can I still receive points for my purchase?
In order to receive points for your purchase, you must present your personal Shoppers Optimum Card at the time of purchase.
