I thought this might be a fun topic. We often mention customer reward and store loyalty programs. Tell us about some of your favorites. Maybe it's a cashback credit card. Maybe it's a restaurant program, or a supermarket deal, or something else. Tell us about the programs that you really like and find you get a lot of value from. I realize that a lot of this may be regional and not apply to everyone but some will be national too.
Marriott Visa - This is our main reward program. We earn points for every dollar charged to the card, and we charge 40K or so to the card annually. Those points combine with the points earned from staying at Marriott properties as it's all part of the same program. We've earned dozens of free nights over the years. We just used 2 free nights this past weekend as a matter of fact.
Panera Bread - They send out rewards regularly. Sometimes it's a free pastry or free drink. It might be $2 off an entrée. A couple of times a year they do one free bagel a day for a whole month.
Iron Hill Brewery - This is a restaurant chain and microbrewery in PA, NJ, DE, GA, and SC. One point per dollar spent. For every 200 points, you get a $20 credit. Bonus on your account anniversary and your birthday. Occasional members-only promotions, double point nights, etc.
Rakuten (formerly ebates) - Cash back at a wide variety of stores and websites just for shopping through their portal.
OpenTable - This is an app/site for making restaurant reservations. You get 100 points for every reservation. There are select places for which you get 1,000 points at certain times (usually early or late dinners). For every 2,000 points, you get a $20 reward toward a meal.
