	Who finds loyalty cards rewarding? \| Cash \| The Observer
		The shops have had a standard loyalty card for some time, but the new scheme, introduced, according to the Co-op, to remind people that there is an alternative to the grocery giants, brings together all parts of the operation.

		Nectar says that £800m worth of points have been cashed in by customers since the scheme was launched in 2002 - although it does not reveal the number that remain uncashed.

	A trip to Alton Towers? That'll be £2,000, please - Independent Online Edition > Loans & Credit
		The Nectar loyalty card celebrates its third-birthday next month, but one of its founder members won't be at the party: Barclaycard is pulling out.

		Add in promotions with free points and double points, and "double dipping" (when you use a credit card that is part of the scheme to buy goods already carrying points) and it becomes fiendishly difficult to work out which loyalty card offers the best all-round value.
