Best Answer

Some large shops such as supermarkets run loyalty card schemes.

When a customer applies for a loyalty card, they have to fill in an application form which asks for personal details such as name, home address, email and so on.

In return, they are issued with a Loyalty card that resembles a credit card in size and appearance. The loyalty card only contains their customer membership number.

The card is swiped when the customer buys something and they are rewarded' with a discount, typically 1p for every £1 spent.

This would only seem to benefit the customer as the entire scheme is free of charge. However, supermarkets also benefit in other ways.

  • Increase the amount customers spend as they are keen to get their loyalty points
  • Build up a profile of their typical customer e.g. age, gender, average spend etc.
  • Track customer spending habits
  • Offer special promotions in partnership with other companies e.g. hotel discounts
  • Measure the results of special offer campaigns
  • So the loyalty card allows the supermarket to build up a very accurate picture their customers.
