    In Western NY where my Mom lives one shop on your birthday gives a discount for 1/2 your age. My 83 year old Mom loves that! She says she can't wait till she can get 50 percent off.

    No and it's probably a good thing too :lol: Actually, they don't run specials very often either (maybe a couple times a year) which I think is a shame because I'm much more likely to go if there is a sale and of course, I always end up buying something not on sale. Now, I usually only go when I need something.

    Our LQS just started such a program. Just for signing up, I got a card in the mail for $10 off my next purchase. (Already used that on my class I'm taking.) You get a card, sort of looks like a credit card, that you give every time you purchase something. After it adds up to a certain amount, you get a percentage off, I think... Haven't had the program long enough to really know how it's going to work, and I've already managed to misplace my card, so that's not good, either!

    Used to have a $25 gift certificate after you spent $250. Now they have a VIP Memebership for $35 for a year and you get 10% from the get=go. But in reality you have to spend $350 to even make up the $35 membership. Other perks are included but not enough for me to spend $35.

    Ours has a 10% discount card you can get if you can show your quilt guild card. Also send out 40-50% coupons twice a month that any of the stores in the area will honor.

    All have some sort of promotion. 3 have stamps and after spending x amount you get either a % off or $ off next purchase. One I frequent alot has fat Friday, the last Friday of the month fat qtrs are 1.25. Also have frequent % off sales. They have kits frequently for 25% off. They have great fabric and great buys.

    One quilt shop I go to, you pay 20 dollars annual fee and you get 20% off all purchases for the year. Then several times a year she runs a 40% off on at least 1 yd cuttings and notions. Wonderful shop.

    I frequent two shops in my town for my quilting fabrics. My favorite is computerized, and when the computer recognizes that you have spent $150.00 you get a $15.00 gift card. The second shop has a punch card which when full nets you 50% off on one cut of fabric.

    Whatever you can get in the way of a discount, I'll take it please!

    My LQS that is 45 miles from me keeps record of my purchases in their computer. After I have spent $100 with them they give a 10% discount on next purchase. If my next purchase is very small they let me hold the 10% over until I purchase a large amount if I want to. If I choose to not use the discount at that time that small purchase goes toward the next $100. Hope this makes sense.
