PC® World Mastercard® Review
The Bottom Line
The PC® World Mastercard® is a great no-fee card for those who frequently shop at Loblaw-affiliated stores, gas stations, and Shoppers Drug Mart. The ability to earn up to 35 points per $1 spent makes it ideal for families and individuals who want to maximize their grocery and fuel savings. However, if your spending occurs more frequently outside these stores, you might consider a card with higher rewards in more categories.
