It was a problem designed to ensure you accumulated nothing. That lead me to run away from any Loblaws program in existence. Aeroplan is much better can't believe any retailer would want to partner with Loblaws.
I work in an industry that unfortunately means I have to deal with Loblaws, and know more about how they operate than I would like to. I refuse to actually shop there and give them any of my personal business. By extension, I will stop going to Esso, not because Aeroplan will be gone (they never earned me that many miles anyway), but because they have chosen to affiliate themselves with Loblaws.
