And what do the store points get you? One store here used to have a program
where you got $5 off your next order when you got so many points. But they
quit doing that. And in the old days, some stores offered some sort of
dinner such as turkey, ham or lasagna when you got so many point. Some
stores give a discount on gas with points. And Fred Meyer or QFC give you
coupons for free things or cents/dollars off based on your points.
