Loyalty is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as faithfulness to something to which one is bound by pledge or duty. It indicates a relationship between two parties where one has power over the other. Today, brands are able to forge long-lasting relationships with their customers by promoting their individual loyalty programs.

For businesses to prosper, they need their clients to purchase their products not just once or twice, but as many times as possible. Moreover, they need to devise a way with which they can convince consumers to choose them over available competition. But it doesn’t make sense for everyone to buy in bulk all the time, although the practice is bound to result in the most savings. That is why different stores have come up with their own rewards promotions incentivizing customers into repeat purchase behavior.

With good reason, the largest companies today offer the most attractive loyalty deals for clients. Here are three of the most popular:

1.       Home Depot’s Pro Xtra

Need something to spruce up your house? It’s time to drop by Home Depot. This chain is the biggest home improvement retailer in all of America, boasting 1,981 stores in the country as of 2018. They call their loyalty scheme Pro Xtra, promising repeat customers exclusive discounts like volume pricing. Although it was created with professionals in mind as the name implies, anyone who frequently shops at the store can easily sign up for it. With the discounts from Pro Xtra and returns from Home Depot cashback, savings from necessities can surely rack up!

2.       Starbucks Rewards

According to a Money Matters Report, Americans spend a whopping $1,100 on coffee every single year. A lot of that green ends up in the coffers of Starbucks, who is not just the leading name in coffee in America but worldwide! It even makes you wonder if they still need a rewards scheme at this point. Since we’ve already pledged our fealty to coffee anyway, it’s only logical to take part in Starbucks Rewards. This deal offers you freebies in the form of stars that you can exchange for beverages or food items on their menu. You’ll want to redeem them every year as those stars can expire if you don’t watch out!

3.       Amazon Prime

These days, just about anything can be bought off of Amazon. Surprisingly, the giant had its humble beginnings as a bookstore way back in 1995, when online shopping was not yet the norm.  And this option has only gotten more convenient with the unfortunate impact of COVID-19 on our daily lives. Signing up for loyalty programs like Amazon Prime even gives you the benefit of free shipping making it seem almost remiss to choose to step out of the house. You can even avail of supplemental benefits to enjoy in the comfort of your home by paying a small fee for Amazon Channels that allow you to watch your favorite movies and shows. You name it, Amazon delivers.

Don’t miss out on the yearly savings by learning more about the rewards schemes of the companies you already love. It’s win-win!
