No! But the "rewards program" sounds like a gimmick to get customers to visit the spa by any means. Not sure of the numbers, but 10 or 15 visits just to save $20? Rather use the $20 for Shake Shack. Now if it was 10 or 15 visits within a 6 or 12 month time span for a 50% off or a free session I can see it worth while. But i doubt something like that is possible from both the spa/providers and client sides.

From openly promoting extras and now reward programs shows you how everyone is struggling . With that said, I sincerely hope the spas and providers pull through this rough phase. I seriously hope every stays afloat.

I got one of those “coffee” cards with two stamps on it so far. It’s like $100 or $200 off depending on how long your 10 sessions were. Once I collect my 10 stamps I can get my next session $100 off cuz I go for the shorter session.

Lol it’s a “coffee” card so I can keep it in my wallet and not raise any suspicions unless SO wants to drink at the same coffee spot…

I didn't look up anything regarding the program, it was just a random number. Actually it's pointless. You actually have to **spend money** to get points, and hobbyist isn't spending $ these days like they used to. Plus the total money you spent to accumulate those points for the reward discount don't compare to the grand total if you put in the math. And the rates are staying the same. Like i've said its a gimmick especially if you do the math compare the amount you've spent to the discount/reward you're receiving.

This is why people don't like Starbucks rewards program, it was revised a few years back for you to spend. Some rewards program are better than other why others isn't.

i mean, you said that it would worth while for you if it was 50% off or free session after 10-15 visits. I was just letting you know that the rewards program is something like that.. about 50% off after 10 visits

Maybe it is not the discount you want because it requires many visits, but it is a discount. If you don't like it, don't take-use the card.

You get points for visits, but you also get points for just logging into the site. They also have a "forum" where, I THINK, you'll get points for "truthful" reviews. Gimmicky, yes, but some may find it useful.

Never would, not sure what gave you that impression after what i posted. I just gave my opinion on the subject which i am allowed to. Per my original post, you're spending a large amount to get a small discount. Like spending a million dollars just to save 15 grand. The rewards programs are always gimmicks when you break it down financially and the rules for you to spend money. But to each his own because it's not my money.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

I am going to hobby when I feel like it and I am going to choose where I go based on what girl I want to see. The card does not affect those decisions. I do hobby regularly and most likely I will make enough AS visits to get the discount. From that point of view, I consider it a legit discount and not a gimmick.

If you already hobby frequently and AS is one of your regular spots, is the program a gimmick ?

Now if someone makes more visits just so they can get the discount, is it a gimmick or a foolish person ?

I don't think I would make it to the same place 10 plus times in a year unless I found a girl there who I really like and would repeat with. Or maybe a great MMS or facilities, but it still seems difficult. I used to like the Starbucks program but they downgraded the rewards and made them harder and I don't use the program to motivate my visits, although I have to say I kind of used to.
To guys with lots of money and extra time it could make a difference. Not sure about all the visits to the sites and credit for reviews. Seems like a gimmick.
