I collect points through my grocery store (PC Points) and through the local pharmacy (Shopper's Drug Mart). I love free stuff and I find with both these companies my points add up fast ... but double point days 20X the points are tempting to me.

I'm in so much trouble this Saturday.Shoppers Drug Mart
It works out to spend $50 get about $15 back in free stuff (at any time).

Anyone else a sucker for points?

I love getting free stuff with points. I figure if it was something I was going to do/buy anyway then the freebies are a BONUS! If you are buying things you don't need just to get points then I can see where it would be a problem. I love My Points, we have rewards points on our credit card and I do surveys for points and get a lot of Free stuff.

I usually am for the points I get at the grocery store because every 100 points is 10cents off your gas purchase. Last week we got 80 cents off a gallon! we ended up paying 2.19/gal for gas, saved us over 12 bucks.

I do MyPoints and inbox dollars online and when I use my debt card ring it as a credit card and get points for that as well. But none of the stores around here really do any points.

Ace Hardware has a rewards card I use and will occasionally get a $5 coupon in the mail from them.

Coke points and Pepsi points as well for fun stuff time to time.

I collect points from Coke and than get free coupons for 12 packs. I have my parents save their points for me, so I can get extra!!

I get grocery at Giant Eagle for the points...For every $50 spent is 10cents (unless they have the 20cents off offer) off gas...They have different gift cards so I usually get gift cards before we go shopping...Gift cards for eating out too. Need a birthday gift? Gift card...I need as much I can get off gas. DH once filled his Honda Ridgeline (a full tank of gas) for $3!

I am! My DH won 1 million Save-on-More (Save on Foods chain is here in Canada) points. We (DH and I) flew to Arizona and back in December '06, and We all (DH, DD and I) flew to LA and back (went to Disneyland) on the points this past December. Even after all those flights he still has over half a million points left!
