Last week, we covered the best ways to use your Amex Card at grocery stores in Canada. In this post, I wanted to talk more about how to use your Amex Card at Real Canadian Superstore (and Loblaw Stores) specifically.
Superstore is part of Loblaws, so this hack with Rakuten Gift Card Shop will allow you to use your Amex Card at any Loblaws store.
It will also work with any store Rakuten sells gift cards for, including these Canadian grocery stores:
- Real Canadian Superstore
- Walmart
- Safeway
- FreshCo
- Sobeys
- Longo’s
- Independent
- FoodLand
- Fortinos
- Provigo
- Wholesale Club
- Valu-Mart
- No Frills
- Extra Foods
- Zehrs
- Atlantic Superstore
- Dominion
This referral link gives you a $30 cash bonus (once you spend $30).
It gives us $30 back too (thank you for your support!) Leave your referral link in the comments below so everyone wins.
Does Superstore Accept Amex?
Real Canadian Superstore accepts Amex if you follow this workaround:
- Buy at least a $30 Superstore gift card on the Rakuten Gift Card Shop.
- Pay with your Amex Card to earn points, plus 1% Cashback.
- Earn $30 sign up bonus from Rakuten.
- Use your Superstore gift card in store.
You can also get grocery delivery from Instacart and pay with your Amex Card to earn points. When you order with Instacart, you can earn 5x the points with your Cobalt Card.
Here’s How to Use Your Amex Card at Superstore
Step 1: Create Your Account
Create your free account at Rakuten.ca
Step 2: Buy a $30 Superstore Gift Card
- Buy a Superstore gift card for at least $30.
- Add to Cart
- Choose Payment Method: PayPal. Make sure to add your Amex Card to your PayPal account and pay with it.
*You must choose PayPal as your payment method for this to work.*
If you don’t have a PayPal account, create an account for free + earn $10. Then add your Amex Card as a payment method.
Step 3: Get $30 Cashback, Earn Amex Points & 1% Cashback
- Wait for your gift card to arrive via email (within 1 day).
- Print your gift card and use it in store at Superstore.
- Your $30 cashback will be credited to your Rakuten account within 7 days of purchase.
- That’s it! Now you can use your Amex Card at Superstore and earn $30 cashback!
