PC Financial Vs. Sobeys Club Card

Loblaws grocers (Real Canadian Super Store, Zehrs and Fortinos to be exact) and Sobeys are my two favourite supermarkets.
I am a loyal customer to both, however I only have a loyalty card to one- Sobeys. To be honest, if I did not have the Sobeys Club Card, Loblaws groceries stores would not be at a tie with Sobeys. Here are some comparisons as to reason why I appreciate both.

Qualifications and Sign-up
PC financial : have too many complicated options: credit, debit, mortgages, investments and insurance. And because they have such categories, signing up is not quick and efficient, or free! Not everyone’s qualified to obtain a PC Financial card mainly because of their income level. This was the reason for me. As a student did not have sufficient income which they decided after I had filled out a form and mailed it through a representative.
Sobeys Club Card: Free to sign up, had only taken me 5 minutes to fill out my name and address! I received points the same day and had also received a box of cookies just for signing up.
Locations and Convenience
PC Financial: One thing I really appreciate about this card is that i can be used at any Loblaws stores such as: No Frills, Extra Foods, Real Canadian Superstore, Loblaws, Fortinos, Valu-Mart, Zehrs, Independant, Provigo, Maxi, Save Easy, and Super Value.
Sobeys Club Card: although Sobeys does not have the sub-category of supermarkets like Loblaws does, it still remains a tie for me because their locations are open 24/7. This allows me to shop at my convenient time and satisfy my midnight cravings while stocking up my points !

Personally, I can defiantly say I prefer the quality, location and service of Loblaws stores over Sobeys. However, because Sobeys had issued a Club Card to me with ease, the two will remain a tie. This goes to show that a Customer Loyalty Card really does have an impact, even on the average female student!
