The Mobile Shop\u2122, which offers customers the opportunity to earn PC Optimum\u2122 points on select phone purchases, commissioned the survey to better understand how Canadians are engaging with rewards programs and where gaps in rewards optimization still exist.<\/p><p>\nAt a time when Canadians are becoming more intentional about how they spend and maximize value from everyday purchases, rewards programs continue to play an increasingly important role in consumer decision-making. With a wide range of rewards programs now available across different categories, Canadians have more opportunities than ever to earn points and get more from the spending they are already doing.<\/p><p>\nIn fact, <b>85 per cent<\/b> of Canadians say they at least try to make the most of available rewards and loyalty benefits. However, despite high rewards program participation and strong intentions to maximize benefits, survey insights found:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b>56 per cent<\/b> of Canadians enrolled in rewards programs say they are not making the most of them.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>53 per cent<\/b> believe they regularly leave rewards unclaimed.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nWhile rewards programs continue to influence spending on everyday essentials like groceries (<b>57 per cent<\/b>) and gas (<b>55 per cent<\/b>), survey findings suggest mobile shopping remains a largely untapped rewards opportunity for Canadians:<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nOnly <b>30 per cent of Canadians have considered rewards when <\/b>purchasing a mobile phone or plan, and just <b>23 per cent<\/b> actively try to maximize rewards on mobile purchases.<\/li>\n<li>\nHowever, <b>71 per cent<\/b> say rewards would influence their decision if shopping for a mobile device or plan today, underscoring a clear opportunity for Canadians to unlock more value when making these purchases.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\n<b>How Canadians Can Unlock More Value<\/b><\/p><p>\nThe findings suggest that while Canadians are actively looking for more ways to maximize rewards, many may not realize the opportunity to earn points through mobile purchases.<\/p><p>\nThe Mobile Shop\u2122 helps make mobile shopping easier and more rewarding by offering access to the latest devices and plans from multiple leading carriers.<\/p><p>\nAs the only retailer where customers can earn and redeem PC Optimum\u2122 points on select phone purchases, The Mobile Shop\u2122 gives Canadians more opportunities to maximize value in a purchase category that many may be overlooking.
