Is It Really Worth It? - Diving Deep into Loyalty Programs & Rewards

[LucaElias]

Actually, I'm perception exactly confused on loyalty programs those days. So many companies are offering those codes and rewards, but it feels like a lot of them are just designed to keep you engaged with the platform for longer - which isn't necessarily beneficial for saving money. Do you think this strategy is actually worthwhile in the long run?

I agree! It's definitely a tactic that can feel manipulative. What's your general feeling about the value of those delivers in comparison to simply buying goods directly? Are they exactly supplying any genuine benefits beyond just collecting data and sending emails?

Okay, let's talk about tracking. How does this actually work - are rewards earned based on actual usage (like spending money), or is it more of a 'look-in' system? And what happens if you don't meet the needs for earning a reward - is there any kind of fallback strategy?

I've noticed some individuals claiming they're getting huge rewards, but then the actual benefits are minimal. Do you think this leads to a cycle where people are incentivized to spend more just to accumulate points? Are there any strategies for maximizing the value of those programs?

I'm curious about the long-term impact on user behavior. Does this strategy encourage shelling out habits that aren't necessarily aligned with our own goals? What kind of psychological pressure are those companies putting on us to keep us engaged in their ecosystem?
