With consumers trying to save money in any way that they can and merchants trying to retain loyal customers, merchants rewards program are popping up everywhere. Cindy and I surveyed our members to see which were their favorite merchant programs that they could combine with coupons and cash back. Whether you are a customer looking for deals or an affiliate looking for merchants to promote, you should get some great tips out of this podcast.
Show Notes:
- What are the point of the programs? To attract new customers or retain repeat customers? Some merchants make it easy to learn about their programs while others seem to hide them.
- Traditional cash programs where you get a percentage back from every purchase to spend later on the site. Great examples are drugstore.com dollars, eBay bucks, and Football Fanatics.
- Points programs where you get points for purchases and can later convert them to credits on the merchants site. Most popular included Best Buy Rewards Zone and 1800Flowers Fresh Rewards.
- Loyalty programs where you do not get get free merchandise credits but you might get even better deals. Prime examples are the Shoebuy 10% coupon for repeat buyers and the Sephora Beauty Insider program.
Next podcast: Deals of the Day. If you know of a merchant with a great Deal of the Day program, let us know and we will try to include it.

I was just listening to the playback and cracked up hearing Cindy’s dogs playing in the background! I was too busy talking to notice it when we recorded.
