I often do this to try and maximize my dollars where usually with point reward programs you are offered deals to entice you to buy certain products. Many times though, the regular price on the product isn’t worth it where the little amounts of points you receive don’t make up for buying things at full retail price. But then there are times like this today where you get the best of both worlds. While walking through the store I noticed that these five-pound bag of oranges for under $5. That was a great deal as you would normally pay almost $9 a bag.
On top of that, I had an offer where for every one dollar spent on oranges I would get 200 points which was about 20 cents. As the bag was about five dollars, I literally got one dollar which made this purchase under four dollars. This is the ideal scenario for collecting store reward points and is probably not the intention of the business for people to get rewarded so much. It makes the profit margin very low for a business.
To go even further, you should then save up for the points until later in the year when there is a deal such as the common redeem 250,000 points for $400 off Black Friday deals. Even in redeeming your points you should always try and do it when there is an actual special to enable you to get more. It definitely adds up too in a good way.
