New Yep - some places do them right.
I have a Starbucks stored-value card that functions a bit like a loyalty card. That works well and is usually faster than cash. I have one for a pet-supplied chain. They do a discount on everything if you have one.

I won't use the one for the local supermarket, though. Big duopoly and it's known they want to get into _everything_. And I only get petrol discounts with it which is more hassle to redeem than they're worth.

New huge difference around here
The supermarkets discount seriously if you are willing to use their card. They give you one in person while you are filling out the registration, and don't check anything. So give fake info.

New Different market.
Each of our two biggest supermarket chains have more market share in Aus than any chain anywhere else in the world. The only incentives they really have are competing with each other.
