Consumer Warns: Supermarket Loyalty Programmes Fall Short

A recent survey from Consumer has raised concerns about supermarket loyalty programmes. Many New Zealand shoppers feel these schemes aren't delivering the savings they promise.

The survey revealed 82 percent of participants say their food budgets are under strain. Many shoppers are questioning the true value of loyalty points and discounts offered by supermarkets. Instead of relief, these programmes often seem inadequate against rising prices.

With food costs continuing to climb, consumers are seeking ways to manage their budgets effectively. Loyalty programmes might not be meeting expectations, leading shoppers to explore other options.
