There is no real value |

They give 5% to community organizations - 1% of my total bill is donated to my families school. |

Both major supermarkets have card program with exactly the same features |

I have loyalty cards in several supermarkets |
| 5 |
Sep 17, 2009 6:55 PM |
because the comparable stores all offer loyalty programs and we are members of all |
| 6 |
Sep 17, 2009 6:55 PM |
I have them for all the supermarkets in the area and I just use it to get the discounts. |
| 7 |
Sep 17, 2009 7:02 PM |
Actually less. I get pissed off that I have to use it to get the discounts that were conventionally avaialable before |

My store's program is useless, but the store closest to my house (our emergency milk run store) has a card and no ... it doesnt make me more loyal. |

own multiple cards |
| 10 |
Sep 17, 2009 7:45 PM |
it's just a method to take advantage of 'card-holder special prices' -- nothing to do with loyalty |

I carry one for each store that has one |
| 12 |
Sep 17, 2009 8:01 PM |
Due to coupons they send for things I buy. |
| 13 |
Sep 17, 2009 8:37 PM |
It makes me LESS loyal to the store if I forget to carry my card with me. |

By shopping at the coop I am supporting the local community and buying products that are all natural, wholesome, and mostly organic. |
| 15 |
Sep 17, 2009 8:54 PM |
But only because their card provides me with airline frequent flier miles. |
| 16 |
Sep 17, 2009 8:57 PM |
Not really as the loyalty cards are everywhere. |

I specifically and ONLY go to a grocery store that does NOT have a loyalty card program. I hate the concep that I'm second class if I don't have a card and get punished by having to pay higher prices. I am now also boycotting other types of stores (ie: drug) that require loyalty cards to get the best prices. |

I stopped shopping at one grocery store when they implemented a program and prices immediately climbed 30% |
| 19 |
Sep 18, 2009 8:47 AM |
not using the program |
| 20 |
Sep 18, 2009 2:16 PM |
No - But my membership at Costco, and in frequent diner programs do! |

Loyalty card coupled with location makes me shop there more frequently. It also helps reduce the price of groceries. |
| 22 |
Sep 18, 2009 2:47 PM |
I will leave the store and my groceries if they won't give me the discounted price when I forget my card. |
| 23 |
Sep 18, 2009 2:52 PM |
Don't understand the pay-off. Seems like I can only redeem points if I buy specific items on specific days. Poor reward structure. Don't make me figure it out. |
| 24 |
Sep 18, 2009 5:23 PM |
Markets that have them require them to get the sales price; therefore we have to have a card |
| 25 |
Sep 18, 2009 5:37 PM |
More frequently offering specials to members |
| 26 |
Sep 19, 2009 12:40 AM |
cheaper stores get my business. |
| 27 |
Sep 19, 2009 12:41 PM |
have no idea what you are talking about... |
| 28 |
Sep 21, 2009 1:41 AM |
Usually the difference in price is only a few dollars, so it' snot that helpful. |
| 29 |
Sep 21, 2009 1:16 PM |
No, just want to make sure I get lowest prices when I'm there |
| 30 |
Sep 21, 2009 4:07 PM |
mostly because I get rewards and thus save money. |
| 31 |
Sep 21, 2009 6:28 PM |
Publix agrees. Loyalty card does not equal loyalty. |
| 32 |
Sep 22, 2009 1:41 PM |
No, though I do participate |
| 33 |
Sep 23, 2009 12:58 AM |
although when I have a large order to fill I will sometimes consider their gas rewards in deciding which store to use |
