recently had a President Choice gift card, tried buy PL at loblaws with it was denied. Then went to RCSS and they were ok with buying lotto with gift card, seems practice is variable.

Also same with SDM cards, I've only found a couple that accepts for lotto.

Any experience with other cards? I find CT and petrol canada never has issue.

I try to avoid Loblaws whenever I can. Shady service, and sometimes nobody is there at the OLG counter. Galen Weston (CEO and Loblaws owner would be proud!

The best thing to do with PC gift card at Loblaws is buy Esso/Petro Canada/Shell gift cards at the self-checkout, then go and buy PL there instead.

Funny thing the variety store I play at tell all his customers the same thing looks like he wants to keep all the sports lotto for themselves

Are you saying you can buy gift cards at a self checkout and then buy gift cards with gift cards at a self checkout?
