When the topic of saving money comes up, the concept of paying a monthly fee for membership in the Easy Saver Program, or one of the many other rewards programs, might lead you to scratch your head. How does spending money save money? It's pretty simple, really. Rewards programs charge only a small monthly fee and in exchange for that membership fee, you're given access to a wide range of exclusive offers. For example, getting 20% cash back on purchases from popular retailers could mean your monthly fee pays for itself just by buying one outfit. Many of these programs offer ways to save money on daily purchases as well, so all through the month you continue to save money. And if you find a program just isn't for you, then a monthly membership means you can cancel and you're out virtually nothing.
When I was younger, I used to love going out to the movies. The big seats, big screen, big sound and big bags of popcorn made watching a movie tough to beat. Unfortunately, the cost of going out to see a movie has also become big.' I'd resigned myself to renting DVDs and watching at home, on the couch. But when I joined a rewards program, one of the benefits of my membership was being able to save up to 50% off of movie tickets. All of a sudden that night out at the movies is in reach again. Throw in the fact that I also get discounts on a restaurant meal before the movie and even on the gas to drive there, and you can start to see the value of the membership program.
At the start of each season, I log into my membership site and buy gift cards to the retailers I really like. I then receive 20% cash back for those cards. I shop for the latest styles, at the stores I like, knowing that I saved 20% on all of my purchases. No waiting until the end of the season trying to find bargains or settling for sales at stores I don't really care for. With my rewards membership, I'm in control.
Membership programs have come a long way in the past few years. Popular choices like the Easy Saver Program appeal to shoppers because they offer discount on big ticket items like cruises and vacations, but also offer daily savings on everyday purchases. When shoppers can save money on everything from clothes to prescriptions, gas and restaurants, a membership program is well worth it.
