Rewards Cards I Love

While I’m a huge fan of my points cards, there are also a few retail store loyalty cards that I love having in my wallet because they give me free things without having to spend any money.

The Body Shop “Love Your Body”

The Body Shop’s loyalty program used to cost money, but it’s now free to join!

Like most loyalty cards, you can earn points for every dollar spent. Once you get enough points, you can redeem those points for money off your purchase.

For the Love Your Body card, $1 spent = 1 point. 100 points = $10 off.

Why do I love this card?

Every year on my birthday I get $10 to spend. For free. Just for signing up. And it really is $10 off a $10 purchase–no strings attached.

New York Fries “Fry Society”

With the Fry Society card, you earn points for each purchase. After 10 purchases (one purchase per day counts), you can choose any item off the menu for free.

Why do I love this card?

A couple times a year, New York Fries activates free items on the Fry Society cards. Sometimes it is a free beverage and sometimes it is a free small fries, like they often do on National French Fry Day (July 13th).

Chapters Indigo “Plum Card”

There are now two options for the Plum Card at Chapters–Plum and Plum Plus. The basic Plum card is free to join. For every $1 spent (with some exclusions), you earn 5 points. 2500 points can be redeemed for $5.

Why do I love this card?

Every year on my birthday I receive 2500 points for free, which I can redeem online or in store. I can also earn points without making a purchase by rating their recommendations on my profile.

Earn Cash Back on Groceries

I’ve been using coupons on groceries for as long as I can remember. I find them in a lot of different places–at the grocery store, in the newspaper and online. There’s a list of some coupon sites on my Helpful Links page if you’d like to take a look.

A newer way to coupon is via cash back apps like Checkout 51 and Caddle. These apps load new offers every week for grocery and household items. If you make a purchase for one of the offers, you just upload your receipt and you’ll get credited for the cash back amount.

Checkout 51

These are examples of some offers currently available on Checkout 51. In addition to the cash back offers, Checkout 51 often has videos you can watch for a cash reward and samples you can request to get mailed to you.

Sign up for Checkout 51 with this link and get $5 to get you started:

Caddle

These are a few of the offers that are currently available on Caddle. In addition to the grocery offers on Caddle, there are offers for Amazon specific purchases. You can also get small cash rewards for taking surveys and watching videos.

If you use promo code ALISON21075 you’ll get started with $1.00.

 

I don’t recommend buying things for the sole purpose of getting the deals on the apps–and this goes for any deal in general. But it is a great way to get rewards for buying everyday groceries.

Once you reach a $20 balance, you can cash out and request a cheque. I’ve used both of these apps for years and have received cheques from both of them, but my positive experience should not override your due diligence in reading terms and conditions before downloading like I mention on my Transparency Page.

Have you used cash back apps before? What has your experience been?
