Well, it certainly pays to be part of loyalty programs. Airmiles Canada has been in business for 20+ years. Just today my husband and I got $140 in Sobeys vouchers and $180 in gas vouchers, which we'll be using in the summertime. We carefully looked for expiry dates and couldn't find them, and with summer only six months away they'll certainly be good then.
We belong to a few other ones. Optimim cards are used in Shoppers Drug mart, you can get a certain percentage off your purchases depending on how many points you have. Those of you who get a lot of prescriptions are the lucky ones, though, they say the points really add up.
I've been noticing a lot of people online who are members of Melaleuca, an online health store. We've been a member for about a year and a half and get about $4-$5 per month in loyalty dollars, which translates into the actual value in Canadian dollars. We usually get about $60 with of free stuff each year.
Ebay.ca now has an Ebay Bucks program which will give you so much money per Ebay purchase. This allows you to save up your Ebay bucks and if you're a regular Ebay user, you'll be able to get quite a few items for free.
Anyway, those are the 4 major loyalty programs I belong to, It may not seem much at first but trust me, from my own personal experience, the points/dollars do add up, and we have gotten some free stuff in the meantime. Now that I'm more aware of the value of these programs, I'm keeping a sharp eye out for more that we may not know about. Good luck hunting them down!
