These days, loyalty programs no longer issue punch cards. In order to retain clientele, businesses must design individualized incentives which meet the needs of each client on a personal level.

To enhance the experience of the clients and ensure long term loyalty, Sephora Beauty Insider grants access to professional make up artists and other specially selected products curated exclusively for them.

1. Starbucks Rewards

Among the customer loyalty programs, Starbucks Rewards is one of the most popular programs in the world with millions of members, who reap benefits that include automated reward systems and the ability to place orders and pay ahead through a mobile app.

Their tieredless loyalty system rewards customers based on total spending rather than just frequency of visits, thus encouraging frequent high spenders to spend even more and further strengthens the brand.

They provide numerous ways for members to earn, such as through Star codes on package stickers and Bonus Star challenges, making the program seem tailored specifically for each member. This ensures an engaging experience!

2. Amazon Prime Rewards Visa Card

Amazon Prime Rewards card users can rack up impressive rewards on purchases at Amazon and Whole Foods (plus up to 2% back at restaurants, gas stations and local transit/commuting/rideshare services), without incurring an annual fee or membership cost (currently $139 annually). There is no annual fee attached with the card itself but requires purchasing an Amazon Prime membership (cost $139).

Chase Freedom Flex and Discover it Cash Back both offer no annual fee cash back cards with great no-reward categories that change every quarter, offering 5% cash back for rotating categories that could earn $50 gift cards or travel rewards via Chase.

3. Target Circle

Target has followed in the footsteps of competitors Amazon and Walmart by launching a paid membership service called Target Circle, which debuted April 7. Members receive automatic savings applied at checkout as well as special partner perks.

There are various membership tiers, such as two credit card versions (previously known as RedCards) and a reloadable debit card, with earnings redeemable both online and in stores; earning can also be redeemed with extended returns on certain credit cards – but is it worth paying an annual membership fee?

4. My Best Buy

Customers of My Best Buy Rewards program can take advantage of favorable conditions, competitive interest rates and attractive bonus offers when buying electronics, appliances and tech products at Best Buy stores and their website. Citibank-issued cards should only be used at Best Buy locations or online.

My Best Buy offers more than credit card rewards; its services also include Geek Squad PC setup and two-year protection plans. Should members wish to cancel, they can do so within 60 days and will receive an annual fee refund minus any benefits used.

5. Rakuten

Rakuten offers cash back at hundreds of stores, providing an effective way to offset the upfront costs of certain purchases. Plus, if you link an airline or hotel credit card co-branded card through Rakuten, both it and its points will provide cashback!

Rakuten follows in the same tradition of Honey browser extensions by tracking purchases and offering rewards based on purchase subtotal. Plus, when you refer friends, they’ll often get an initial bonus of $30 if they spend $30 in their first 90 days – making this an excellent way to gain cash back and Membership Rewards!

6. Swagbucks

Swagbucks is an online rewards platform offering users gift cards and cash payments via PayPal. Its success can be attributed to its extensive partner network, numerous earning opportunities, engaged user community and data insights.

Members earn SB points by watching videos, shopping online, playing games and taking surveys. Receipt uploading and installing a browser extension are also ways for members to earn on the go – and the program is available worldwide! Swagbucks generates revenue through selling consumer demographic information to retailers and advertisers for marketing campaigns; its revenue model also incorporates affiliate commissions and rebates from partners that come their way.

7. Sephora Beauty Insider

Sephora’s tiered and points-based structure works effectively to foster customer loyalty and engagement; however, its lack of non-purchase-based rewards or fun activities may limit its appeal among younger digitally engaged audiences.

Sephora’s VIP tiers are effective in motivating shoppers, offering a goal they can strive towards such as VIB or Rouge status (requiring an annual spending fee of $1,000 or more), personalized product recommendations to connect emotionally and values-based with shoppers, and the Beauty Insider App allows customers to redeem points for charity.

8. Kroger Plus Card

WCDPL participates in Kroger Community Rewards program which makes supporting us easy with just a swipe of your card! Click here to create or update your account online; once there, select “Edit Community Rewards” and input our code QA684 when asked.

Kroger Plus Card purchases qualify for 5% cash back on all non-fuel purchases made without fuel purchases; exceptions include gift cards/certificates, money orders, product deposits, postage stamps and service fees (such as pickup or delivery fees), alcohol and tobacco purchases as well as organization selections which must be renewed annually; please see cardholder agreement for full details of terms and conditions.

9. Microsoft Rewards

Microsoft Rewards is a free program that enables you to earn points toward products and services such as game passes, movie rentals, gift cards, sweepstakes entries and charitable donations.

Closed-loop loyalty reward cards may be loaded with additional funds as part of marketing promotions triggered by consumer behavior or milestones, like Kohl’s YES2YOU card.

Microsoft Rewards gives you a dashboard to monitor both your level and benefits, including how you’ve earned rewards points through various means like searching Bing. Streak Restore allows you to regain lost streaks.

10. Uber Rewards

Uber Rewards gives you points you can redeem towards discounts on rides and food deliveries. In addition, reaching certain milestones unlocks special perks – for instance, amassing 7,500 points unlocks Diamond membership status which includes benefits such as complimentary ride upgrades and priority customer support.

Earning periods typically last six months with this program. To maximize earnings, combine it with credit cards that provide cash-back or reward points – such as American Express’ Ink Business Cash Card which offers 2x points on all spending including Uber.
