Reward Programs


Do you find all the reward programs annoying. Super America's Speedy Rewards, Rainbow Foods tried it for a while, Blockbuster has one, Petsmart & Ritz Camera and Borders Books all have one as does CVS pharmacy just to name the ones that come to my head.

I find them all quite annoying. The person at the check out always tries to get me to sign up so I can get more junk mail and random coupons.

How much room do you have on a key chain to carry all these little plastic cards anyways and why do we want to? To get free nic nacs that advertise their services and coupons so we can spend more at their stores.

I do the Speedy Rewards one because who can pass up free hot dogs and gas station coffee just for buying gas that typically costs more than the station across the street by 3 cents who sells 2 hot dogs for a whole dollar. The latest that I have actually got suckered into doing is mycokerewards. What a waste of time!
I come home at the end of the day with bottle caps filling my pockets that I find at job sites so I can enter them on the Internet and get a coupon for a free Coke or a shirt advertising Coke or a mouse pad that says Coke of course.

The sub club at Subway that was a good one that has gone away.

I admit, I get suckered into them also. However, I like getting things. Super America actually has some really good things if you get around 20,000 points!
