Men's wearhouse is the best. All you have to do is give them your phone number and they pull your account up. Plus it's like a 10% kick back which isn't bad.....for every $500 you spend they give you $50.

Plus, the emails they send out are awesome. Their clearance section is the poo.

I've been to grocery stores that ask me if I have a card and I ask the person behind me to scan, ppl don't mind because a lot of them offer rewards for the more you use your card. My parents have a "Kroger Plus Card" they use at Kroger back home, it gives you big discounts and if you use it at the gas pump it shaves like more than 10 cents off per gallon!

I just got 40 cents off per gallon at the Safeway gas station. My wife got a 60-cent discount last week. For this, I will carry their card in my wallet.

I have the app for Kroger and Safeway and load ecoupons to my card each week. I usually only load ones i antipate needing. Recently I bought things I know I did not download a coupon for and got the discount anyway. It happened at both stores. For example a jar of mayonnaise was 3.99 list , on club card for 2.79 I was charged 1.79 with the tape showing a second discount for ecoupon.

Our grocery store in the Chicago area (Jewel) just got rid of the cards altogether. I applaud that move.

I hated when Walgreens went to the card system for sale items. Whenever I buy something on sale and the cashiers asks if I have a card and I say "no" they ask if I'd like to sign up. When I tell them "no" again they give me a look like I'm a crazy person. No [expletive], I don't want to give you my information just so I can save $0.75 on toothpaste.

Walgreen's is the absolute worst. Cards, coupons, cash back on your next visit, cashiers that have to go stock stuff if they have a moment free. It's actually faster to get through a Walgreen's line when there is someone in line vs when the line is empty. Because if the line is empty - no cashier. The only caveat is that if the person in line is old. Then you are going to be there all god damned day as they pick through coupons that expired 4 months ago.

I'm on board with this rant. Stupid Walgreens and their cards. Amazing amount of Returns at Walgreens. WTF - did your dildo not work?
