Here’s the deal. If you shop regularly with specific retailers without taking advantage of their loyalty programs, you’re leaving money on the table.
Loyalty programs are a tool that retailers use to get you to shop with them instead of their competitors, and the better programs make it well worth it for you, the consumer! Here are 15+ of the best store loyalty programs that are worth a look!
Bed, Bath & Beyond
I don’t love the idea of paying a fee for a loyalty program, but if you’re a regular Bed, Bath & Beyond shopper, the $29 annual fee for their Beyond+ program might just be worth it. Members receive 20% off their purchases plus free shipping all year (exclusions apply).
Best Buy
The My Best Buy Rewards program has three levels. MyBestBuy members receive 1% in rewards or 0.5 for every dollar spent, access to exclusive offers, 15 days to return and a birthday gift.
Spend $1500 or more to qualify for MyBestBuy Elite and receive 2% back in rewards and one point for every dollar spent, 30 days to return, free shipping with no minimum, and advance access to sales.
Spend $3500 or more in a year and qualify for MyBestBuy Elite Plus where members receive 2.5% back in rewards, 1.25 points for every dollar spent, free 2-day shipping, 45 days to return and extra advance access to sales.
All members receive additional points when they shop with their Best Buy credit card.

There’s also the “perk of the month” and free shipping with no minimum.
