      This year I had 6 streaming services (Netflix, Disney, Apple, Crave (HBO in Canada), Prime and Paramount)

      I turned off Netflix for the first time in 12 years this month. Disney will go soon. I probably won’t renew Crave again this year unless they have another big black Friday deal. If Prime charges more on top of their regular service I won’t be upgrading. Apple is still cheap enough and I can trade PC points (Canadian loyalty points for a chain of pharmacies and grocery stores). That just leaves Paramount which is all my mother-in-law watches.

      I’ve got the full arr system up and running and I’ll be buying a couple 20tb hard drives if they go on sale during black Friday

        Can you use PC Optimum points to buy gift cards? That’s a great idea!

          Nope, there’s a specific promotion in the PC app where you can exchange 14000 points for a month of Apple TV plus. You might need to be a PC insider subscriber to get it, not sure
