A unique methodology

Thanks to the responses of 10,000 Canadians, we are able to get a good picture of loyalty in the country, and rank programs according to their relative performance using the LoyalT score, which is made up of 3 key indices.

Affection Index
  • The program goes beyond rewards: it makes my life easier and saves me time
  • I feel the program is designed for me and has my best interests at heart
  • I can’t live without it
Engagement Index
  • I’ve increased the frequency of my visits to the company
  • I am more focused in my purchases
  • I modify my purchases to maximize reward points
  • If the program didn’t exist, I would visit the company less often
Behavior Index
  • I always present my loyalty card or mobile app when making purchases
  • I have redeemed reward points at least once in the last 12 months
  • I always consult the communications I receive from the loyalty program
