How many of you are a member of a loyalty program? I’m willing to bet that it’s a good number. There are a number of programs, and the list is constantly growing. Pavlov was right—we love rewards. So much so that it is estimated that 94% of us are enrolled in some type of loyalty program. In fact, it’s likely that you’ll have more than three rewards cards in your wallet at any given time.
