Stores that offer punch cards for freebies or discounts after so many purchases

[cata5]

I have a punch card for the Tastee bread outlets.

You get a punch for every $5 purchase and after so many punches you get $5 free merchandise. These take a while to add up, but if you are going to make the purchase anyway you might as well get a little extra! (Plus, Tastee puts out coupons that are worth up to $2.50 on a $5 purchase which is a lot in outlet purchases...so in the long run you can really save. )

Other places that have done this in the past and maybe still do:

Dunkin Donuts
Limited Too
Jockey

(I don't shop there enough to make it worthwhile...)

Just bringing this up because many time the cashiers do not offer the cards or ask if you have one.

What others do you know about?

Clothestime has a Frequent Buyer Card, get it punched for each $25 worth of clothes purchased, get it stamped 8 times (don't quote me on this, it may be + or - 2) get a coupon for $25 off $25

I know that Macy's lingerie department has a program, too, but I don't know the specifics.

I love my Kwik Trip (gas station in MN/WI).
They have a milk punch card - you get one punch for each half gallon of milk you purchase. When the card is full (12 gallons?) you get a dollar off gas.
Given that the milk is under $2.00/gallon, it's a great deal.

Subway has a sub club card. After I thhink eight stamps you get a free 6" sub.

Victoria Secret used to have a card for their panties - I don't know if they still have it because the closest one to my house is now over an hour away (far easier to buy online).

The Dollar Store here also has a punch card - after every $20, you turn the card in for $1 off your bill or you can save it up until you've done $100 & get $7 off.

And most of the bakery outlet places also have cards. I don't tend to go there very often since I bake my own, but every time I've been into one, they've offered me a discount shoppers card.

After 10 punches for gasoline.. you get $2.00 back cash.. Get gas on Super Tuesdays and you get 3 cents off the price to boot.

Plus.. after 10 coffees you get one free.

Don't forget to ask at your local pizza places & buffets too!

Here we have punch cards for:

Pizza Hut (every 5th paid buffet free - lunch only)

Pizza Ranch (every 6th paid buffet free - lunch or dinner, so we save the free ones for the dinners since it's $4.50 more)

Godfather's (every 5th paid buffet free - lunch only)

Chinese place - every 10th paid meal or buffet is worth a $5 gift certificate

The Bon-Ton (I think they are located in the northeast--mostly NY and PA)...........anyway, they have punch cards in their:
**Children's Department
**Lingerie (one for undies, another for bras)
**Plus Size/Women's Dept.

Each time you buy an item in the departments, they punch and write the price of the item, then after 10 or 12 punches you get 50% off the highest price item.........IE: My last one in the kids dept, the highest item on the card was $25, so I was entitled to $12.50 off the next item I bought! Excellent, I think.

Most clerks treat the punch cards like GOLD, but they are there (in the stores I have been in anyway) for the asking.

*************************
Entenmann's Outlet
A punch card that entitles you to a free box of donuts, etc. when the card is filled up (10 punches I think)

I always ask for such cards in different stores (like Kaufmann's, etc) and sometimes they hand them out. I think that there are some given out my manufacturers (I know my mil had one from Alfred Dunner, don't know where she got it from though).

Never hurts to ask, the worst they can say is "no"
