I Love Reward Cards

I love "Reward Cards" they offer us the convince and a whole lot of savings.  And "yes" it is true that Companies often use "Reward Cards" as a Marketing Tool.  By, tracking the purchases made by the customer.  So, today I will discuss my favorite "Reward Cards" and the actual rewards that I have received from them.

The following is a list  of Rewards Cards that I use on a daily basis and the actual rewards I have received from them:
#1 Grocery Rewards
My all time favorite Grocery Reward Cards are Ralph's, Safeway and Bel Air/Raley's.  While living in Los Angeles Ralph's ( http://www.ralphs.com/Pages/default.aspx)was the store I shopped at for everything on a regular basis (food and household products).  The best part about Ralph's is that if you purchased the Sunday Times it included the Ralph's Double Coupons as well as coupons from the Manufacture.  Not to mention the in-store rewards so of course Sundays were my favorite shopping days.  Here's an example of a purchase I made:  Purchase included 15 items totaling $118.56 after the double coupons, manufacture coupons,and the in-store rewards I paid about $21.76 or a little less for the entire purchase.  Amazing! Bel Air offers a lot of rewards via email along with free products.  For more information about the E-Coupons Program visit your local store or http://www.raleys.com/www/. Safeway ( http://www.safeway.com/IFL/Grocery/Home)offers a lot of buy one, get one free and other great deals for reward members.  Safeway also rewards its members by giving them a per gallon discount on gasoline at your local Safeway Gas Station.  Safeway also offers points that you earn towards free items such as Sandwiches from the in-store Deli.  So basically the Safeway rewards card is a reward in itself.
