Are shoppers right to not trust supermarket loyalty cards?
Briefly

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) reported that out of 50,000 loyalty-priced products analyzed, 92% did offer real savings, emphasizing the potential for customers to benefit from shopping loyalty programs.

The CMA emphasized that supermarkets could enhance accessibility to loyalty schemes, suggesting offline sign-up methods to include customers without smartphones and those who are under 18.
