Chapters-Indigo's iREWARDS loyalty program added

There is a $20/year fee ($15 for teachers and seniors) to join this program, so you need to buy at least $200 of books from these retailers in order to justify this.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, July 7, 2005: Carafe Solutions announces the immediate availability of the CanadaLoyalty website (http://www.CanadaLoyalty.com). This website contains the largest Internet listing of loyalty, reward, incentive, and membership programs available to Canadians.

About CanadaLoyalty.com
This site is the main portal for Canadian consumers of loyalty, reward, incentive, and membership programs. Authoritative information, news and strategies for exploiting the programs are provided, all from the consumer’s perspective and without influence of the program provider’s marketing hype. The main site contains general information on loyalty programs and program ratings as well as a detailed listing for each loyalty program. The most popular programs have additional details available, across multiple pages, including available coupons, promotions, affiliated credit cards, and strategies for maximizing program value and enhancing the rewards of these programs.

A dynamic discussion forum (http://www.CanadaLoyalty.com/forum) is the hub of this community. Members (membership is free) discuss, critique programs, and share strategies for accumulating and redeeming points. New programs are suggested by the community and added to the listings regularly.

Loyalty program and site news is available via our Weblog (http://www.CanadaLoyalty.blogspot.com) and RSS feed (http://canadaloyalty.blogspot.com/atom.xml). We also have a newsletter available (http://www.canadaloyalty.com/Office/newsletter.html for sign up). These options ensure that members can select their preferred option(s) for receiving our news. The RSS feed options allows our news to be consolidated into other websites or news reader software with minimal effort.

Industry estimates indicate that the average consumer carries 6 different loyalty cards. With so many cards and programs available, the situation can be very confusing. What programs should I belong to? Which affiliate credit cards should I have? When should I redeem points and for what reward? This website provides the answers.

This site is not affiliated with any loyalty program or industry association, ensuring that the information provided is without bias.

About Carafe Solutions
Carafe Solutions (http://www.CarafeSolutions.com) is in the business of providing information, services, and products to targeted businesses and consumers, primarily via Internet web sites, under several brand names. A number of projects have been enabled which are specifically targeted toward underserved Canadian market segments.
