    All of them do around here. And one of them is owned by one of my fellow guild members. She gives you punches on your card and an additional 10% off if you have a guild card on you. And that is for any guild, not just ours! Taylor Creek Quilts in Maple Valley, WA. It is a small shop, but jam-packed and stacked to the ceiling. Literally!

    One I frequent has a discount to those who save their receipts once they reach over $150 pre-sales tax. It is open to all shoppers without time limit.

    One of mine does not (the larger of the two I frequent) BUT their everyday prices are lower than most LQS in this area (my last purchase was Hoffman Batiks for less than $9.00/yard, other shops are around $11.00/yard or more).

    The other shop I frequent is about 1/2 the size and has a punch card system which isn't all that great - spend $250 and get $25 free stuff. This shop also offers 15% discount if you finish the bolt.

    At the Vac & Sew machine shop across from the large LQS - he has a thread saver system. But 10 spools any size and get one spool free.

    More often than not I get my fabric at the big store that has cheaper everyday prices but no bonus program system then walk across the street to the Vac & Sew and buy my thread.

    I do! It only works for things not on sale at my LQS. When
    the card is full, you get $25 store credit to spend. I think its great.

    Most shops in my area do something. One shop for every $200 a person spends you get $20 off purchase. One has 15% after $150 but & 15% off on Wednesdays. Another shop also has a punch card for $150 you get $15. Then there is one shop that doesn't do anything and has a sale area but it really isn't a sale.

    Forgot to mention that there are lots of sales and activities throughout the year===

    fat quarter frenzy-- all FQs in the shop are either 1.50 or 2.00 each

    kitty cat sale--to support a local no kill shelter- each cat food donation earns % discount

    spring cleaning- staff dresses "spring cleaning" and there's lots of discounts

    pj sale--as one of the other shops mentioned--we do a pajama sale in January

    Shamrock sale- pick a shamrock off the board and take the % discount indicated

    customer appreciation sales a couple times a year-- find a "kitty" hidden around the shop for a door prize or discount

    special discounts for members of different sewing clubs the shop sponsors during the year

    they always seem to be looking for ways to make their customers feel welcome and appreciated...a fun place to shop

    Ours has $20 gift certificate after spending $200 on fabric. Also, 25% off on your birthday, I think. Haven't used that one yet so can't remember exactly.
