Despite the obvious drawbacks of never having a physical card on hand, losing the card and rarely remembering to redeem points, many users share their good experiences with these programmes.
"I love woolies coffee and being apart of the loyalty program allows me to save 15% each time- what a win!" says one Facebook user.

“Am I the only person who finds it so embarrassing when a guy has a Smart Shopper card? It’s like, why? Like guys I can’t. Imagine I’m at Pick n Pay with my boyfriend, and before he pays, he takes out a Smart Shopper? Like, that’s so embarrassing."
