One of my favorite things about being a product review blogger is when I get the opportunity to share a tip or trick that will really help streamline the craziness of life in some way.
I was thinking that today would be a wonderful day to make life a little less hectic for you all. Sound good? Let’s do it!
Does your wallet happen to resemble mine in terms of its loyalty card contents? Here’s what I just pulled out of mine today:
I have 8 cards that I use regularly. And it turns out, I actually have fewer cards in my wallet than most. The national average is 14-18! I love my rewards cards. They save me SO much money. I typically save 20-30% on my grocery bill every week just by using my grocery store card, and when I am able to work those drugstore deals, I REALLY save big at places like CVS and Walgreens.
But every single week I have to do “the shuffle” at the checkout line, flipping through these 8 different cards until I find the one I need. Do you do the same thing? And do you always have the same luck as me and find the card you need at the very bottom of the pile? Every. Single. Time???
My wallet barely closes thanks to all this extra bulk. But the money I save makes it worth the hassle, for sure.
But what if I told you that you could consolidate all your store loyalty cards into just one card? Did your ears just perk up a bit? I know mine did when I first heard about the LOC card. And I’m so excited to get to share it with you so that you can take your bulky card collection and trim it down to just one. Wallet weight may be the only weight I drop this holiday season, but I’ll take it! Ha ha!
LOC Card not only provides one card that you can use for all participating merchant loyalty programs, but it also gives you one secure,central place to review the status of the rewards you are earning. Yes! This is so awesome!!!
But wait! There’s more! You can even swipe your LOC card with a new participating merchant where you aren’t yet signed up, and with that one swipe, you are automatically enrolled in that loyalty program. Just last week I sat with my mother-in-law while she filled out her CVS Extra Care Card enrollment. If she had been an LOC card carrier, she could have just swiped her card and been done!
This is so fantabulous, folks. Don’t you want one? Would you be willing to pay a small fee to get one? I would!
But there’s no need, because the LOC Card is completely free!!!
They will be available soon from participating merchants. I can’t wait to hear who is on the list. They are still in discussions with large and small grocery chains, restaurants and retail outlets nationwide. I’m keeping in the loop by liking and watching their Facebook page. You can follow them there, too, as well as via Twitter.
Speaking of social media awesomeness, LOC Card is currently hosting a “Show Us Your Cards” Facebook Contest. Upload a photo of your pile of cards on their Facebook page, and you’ll be entered to win a $50 Visa gift card. There will be 3 winners. Woo hoo! You can find more details .

. This 60 minute DVD is really quite cute (and I say that as someone who isn’t especially fond of The Cat in the Hat!). The Cat, Nick and Sally have a very fun Christmas party, and take the Thinga-ma-jigger on a trip around the world to help a lost reindeer get home in time for the big event. Along the way they make all sorts of new friends and, of course, have a lot of fun.
