Loyalty point collectors of British Columbia, be warned: the days of collecting reward points when you fill a prescription have come to an end.
The decision came Wednesday, when the BC Court of Appeal overturned a previous ruling that allowed pharmacists to issue loyalty points for customers.
The College of Pharmacists of BC had long been fighting to prevent companies like Sobeys, which owns Canada Safeway, and Shoppers Drug Mart from issuing loyalty points for pharmacy purchases. They believe offering rewards like Air Miles and Optimum points can encourage improper use - and even put people’s lives at risk.
