Loyalty Program: Winners, Home Sense and Marshalls

[Granger]

Winners, Home Sense and Marshalls appear to have a new loyalty program. I looked for a thread on SC about it, but no avail, so hence, this one.

Joined the program while checking out at Winners today...I like to shop there for their red tag clearance and Carter's Baby undershirts.

Here is what I know:
-Free to join, gives you a card and a key card
-10 day return extended to 30 day
-chance to enter member only contests
-if you shop 3 times quarterly: early store access, advance notice of fresh arrivals and special offers
-called TJXSTYLE+ Canada Card

What I want to know:
-has anyone on SC benefited from this loyalty card
-what are the contests and special offers

Info at www.tjxstyleplus.ca

It doesn't sound like a great loyalty program to me. As I shop mostly clearance at such stores and infrequently, I am not sure if there is any value in it.

Would love to know more from fellow SCers.

I didn't know they had a loyalty program. If it's as you described, it isn't even worth signing up for (and letting them keep track of your shopping habits.) There is something about special offers on the link you gave though, so maybe there's more to it?

kind of useless if there isn't any discount or points system. why do they need to track the spending habits of their customers anyways? they don't have much control over what they sell, seeing as it comes from samples, closeouts, or clearances of overstock
