Usually I have only seen gift card purchases for points at shopper's. They will be printed in their flyer. So I am assuming that it would work at Shopper's. I would ask the cashier before purchasing about it.
And YUM!!!!! I LOVE to go to Montana's!!!!!! I wish I got that offer. I would be all over that. It is our go to place to eat when we actually go out to eat

I just chatted with an online Customer Service rep and she confirmed what @Pumpkin1172. The gc must be purchased at Shoppers to qualify for the bonus points. (see Update below)

I asked her to provide feedback that this is very mis-leading in the app as it doesn't say which stores it can be used at. I would have gone to Superstore and been out of luck.

UPDATE @ 3:30 - Someone posted below they used this offer at Loblaws and WAS awarded the points. I guess PC Optimum staff can be as incorrect as CM phone line staff can be.

Thanks for taking the time to check on this and yes it would help if they posted where to use the offer.

Reading thru the details, it says "single transaction at any participating store locations", so it should be good for stores other than Shoppers as well. Nowhere in the details does it say it has to be purchased at Shoppers.
 
I have had that offer several times and have always made the purchase at Loblaws. Also, I always purchase in $50 cards (2 x $50) as they are easier to use when there are just two of us.
Can't say this will work the same however it's what I have always done in the past and have never had an issue.

It doesn't which is why I contacted PC Optimum directly. Since the points aren't awarded on the spot (it says they will be awarded by Oct 30, 2020) you will have no way to really know at the time if you're actually earning the bonus points or not. It's a lot of money to spend if there is no reward at the end.

If I were to be buying these GCs, personally I'd choose to purchase them at Shoppers. LOL - gift cards are one of the few full-priced items that aren't more expensive than other stores!
 
Reporting back--
Checked my gift card supply (I keep a good supply for personal use and gifts) and decided I could purchase a few of the dinning cards so just made a trip over to Loblaws. Bought 2 $50 GC's. 15000 points show on my receipt and I just checked my account and they are posted there as well.
The offer is gone from my offers page.

Thanks for letting us know. I updated my post above based on your feedback. You experience makes much more sense since the ad does not specify where the gc must be purchased. Also glad to see your points were awarded immediately! 👍

If you buy them at Shoppers, the points DO NOT show immediately, just so you know. That's where I purchased mine. The offer is still showing in my offer list even after purchasing a GC.
 
For me it's on my app but way down at the very bottom, not near any of my other offers. I probably would have missed it if it wasn't for the chatter here because it doesn't look like most other offers either.
