Rewards & Loyalty Schemes

[Strawberry]

Are you signed up to any reward schemes or loyalty programs for different retailers? What kind of benefits do they offer, and do you feel safe using them?

Most of the major supermarkets here in the UK have a loyalty card, so I'm signed up to those (although I only use 1 the most). They offer points to get money off your shop but also offer certain discounts on products too which I find really handy. I know that it is a massive marketing tool, but I'm most likely going to buy those products they're offering me points/discounts on as I've bought them before, so why wouldn't I want to be rewarded for it?

I also use Airtime Rewards, which links your debit/credit cards to track if you spend in a certain retailer on the app. It can be used for money off your airtime bill, usually you have to accumulate £10 before you can apply it to your account. At the moment I've got £9.13, so I'll just need another 87p before I can cash it out. Since using the app, I have managed to take £45 off my airtime bill.

My bank account also offers me cashback percentages on spends in certain retailers too, but I rarely use this.

I'm sure there are most definitely others that I use infrequently, I will add those later if I think of any!

Pizza Hut rewards are good! Order enough a few times, and then you can get a free large pizza! Think it's a pretty good deal. The Starbucks one isn't as good as it could be if you don't go daily. I think a daily drinker will benefit most from it. Starbucks does like free shots of espresso, free drink, free bakery item.

I also earn cash back rewards with my credit cards - this has been amazing and it's why I use my credit cards rather than my debit card. You can also get good deals if you use this money towards travel and stuff but I haven't tried it personally.

Of course the supermarket ones where you type your number in and you get some deals if you use it. I use my bestfriends number for the one he earns points because he uses Kroger gas and the more points the cheaper the gas will be per gallon.
