## Resource

Most Canadians are signed up for loyalty programs but aren’t getting their money’s worth—over half feel they’re leaving freebies on the table. While 85% say they try to maximize rewards, only 40% actually optimize their spending to do so. Cashback is popular but rarely pays off, while travel rewards offer better returns for the savvy. People use rewards for groceries, dining, and gas—but skip them for mobile plans, often due to complexity or low perceived value. Experts say simplicity is key: choose programs that match your habits and offer easy redemption. The best program isn’t the most lucrative—it’s the one you’ll actually use.
