Quilter's Destination in Arlington Heights IL does, and no punch card to lose, they keep track, then issue a coupon. Great, warm service, too.

Most of the shops I shop at has a frequent flyer program. One of them even gave you the price of the class back in a gift card to be used as cash on your next visit or the next class. That made the class free. Can't do better than that.

My LQS has a Saver's Club. You pay $25 to become a member. After that you get 25% off of all fabrics, patterns, and notions, and 20% off of all books for 1 full year. I love this!!!!
Plus, if you buy a machine from her, you get to take any class she offers free - for 1 year.
It is a fantastic shop.

Yes. The program is called "Bag Lady". You pay $25 for 1 year membership. This gets you 1 - 20% off, 3 - 15% off, and 5% off every day (these % are on regular prices only).

I go to 2 the first one give me 10% off everything, however does not have much in stock and will not hesitate to allow you to buy tools rather than teach you to make use of what you have. The second one give you a minimum of 30% off, they have members days/ weeks, their stock is rather large and the ladies will give you all the advice and help that you ask for, they will teach you things and bend over backwards.

I drive 40 miles to get to Threads of Time in Danville IL. Their promotions are: 20% off any one day in your birthday month, 10% for buddies you bring with you. Free loyalty program: 1 point for each dollar spent; 150 points = $15 gift card = 10% back on all purchases whether regular or sale price, notions included. eNewsletter every Tuesday. Great retreat center, too! So, I drive there, even though there are 2 chains & 2 LQSs within 5 miles of my house who give 0 customer service.

My favorite LQS has a punch card that requires you to spend $350 to get a $25 credit once the card is completely full. The store keeps the card, which is great. Also, the store gives you a $5 punch every time you bring in your own homemade cloth bag made from the store's $1 pattern. Even if you only buy one thing, you still get the $5 punch for using your bag. Finally, on your birthday week you get half of your age off on everything in the store. Needless to say, I bypass two other quilt stores (not as nice and no frequent buyer programs) to go to this LQS.

My fav LQS has a program that when you buy 50 yds (clearance, regular or sale), you get a gift certificate for $40!!! The program doesn't time out (don't have to restart at the beginning of the year). And, it automatically calculates in the computer when it rings your sale....and it lists where you are at with the yardage on the receipt!
The other LQS that I frequent, you have to remember to get your card and give it to them. They store them by the register, but if you forget to get it and give it to them, then you lose out. At the beginning of the year, all points expire. I am not even sure how many yards you have to buy, but only regular and sale price qualify. You only get $25. I have never met the amount apparently....
So, I frequent the other one most of the time!

My LQS gives a $25 card for every $250 spent. Their "sales
yard" has at least 150 bolts at one time for 40% off, if you buy on the first day of the month and on the last day of the month the sales yard fabric is %50 off.The fabric is
not only ugly fabrics but alot of nice,pretty up-today fabrics too. I am greeted by my first name when I walk in the door of the shop even if it has been months since last being there (which isn't often!!) On Valentine's day I have
been given a $20 card now for the last 8 years. They make me and I'm sure every customer feel special and that they love us.
