You know what I’m talking about–the little plastic slips that give you discounts throughout the store. They are taking over keyrings I tells you.
I currently have ShopRite, Pathmart, A&P, Food Emporium, Duane Reed & Borders books. What you got?
Three.
We have an Acme, a Shop-Rite and a Super Fresh within a mile radius. Each week we receive a circular for each of them, and whoever has Pepsi One on sale is the one who gets my business that week.
I have DSW, Borders, Ralphs, Office Depot, Staples and CVS. I also have a VISA credit card plastic thingy clipped on too. But it doesn’t offer a discount.
Currently none. If they have them in Germany I haven’t figured out how to get them. At home I have very decrepit Ralphs card on my keys.
Four: Ralph’s, Albertson’s (obviously I have no store loyalty), Border’s “Rewards” (which by the way is a total crock. If you don’t spend at least $150 in a calendar year your “rewards” are erased. I should ditch this one), and L.A. Public Library.
Just one, from Ralphs. Though it has completely fallen apart so I use the credit card sized one these days.
The only plastic thingie I keep on my actual keychain is the one for my gym, but I have a separate little keychain with cards from Ace Hardware, Office Depot, Borders, Albertsons (got two of these, actually), and PetSmart.
Two. **CVS ** and Albertsons.
I work at Borders, so I have the Rewards sticker on the back of my credit card. I see keyrings with so many cards attached I wonder how they find their keys. People in general have way too much stuff on their keyring. Dangly, pretty things, discount cards, lip glosses, fuzzy bears, twenty keys, nail clippers, a mirror…it’s insane. Some weigh over 2 pounds, I know it.
The best idea I’ve seen is a separate key ring with just the cards on it. You whip it out when you need it, and your keyring can safely hold…keys.
None. I do have the odd discount card (all for Canadian stores, so they do me no use here) but none on my keychain.
Foodtown, Wegmans, ShopRite, Deans, Borders, a Bank of America credit card thing, gym that I don’t go to, and a speedpass that doesn’t work anymore
Blockbuster, Albertson’s, Borders, Ralph’s, Los Angeles Public Library.
No discounts, just my library card mini.
Zero. I keep any discount cards in my wallet.
None, since most of them are linked to your telephone number, I just input that into the little keypad instead and don’t junk up my keyring.
None. Not only do I not use discount programs, places that have them make me actively not want to shop there. I’ve probably spent a lot less money at the Albertson’s a block from me than I have at Publix and Wal*Mart which are considerably farther.
But nowadays Publix is having more “SPECIAL 4.99 with coupon” deals, which is as bad or worse…
Giant Eagle, for the Fuelperks, and Borders Rewards. I don’t really shop at Borders often enough to accumulate anything either, but I was working at Waldenbooks when the program started so I still have it out of habit. The Fuelperks are great though - last night’s shopping put me up to $0.90 off per gallon!
Let me see…Albertson’s, Kroger, Books-A-Million, Food Lion (ha! I got it in Virginia. I wonder how far away the nearest Food Lion is from here?), CVS.
Blockbuster, Kroger, Food Lion and Harris Teeter.
BestBuy and PetCo.
None. I stay away from stores that play that game.
