What about a Discount Card for long-time QVC Shoppers?

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I think it would be a great idea for long-time Q shoppers to be given a "discount card" as a little incentive and thank you for being loyal shoppers! What do you all think?

As some stores give disounts to seniors, such as 10, 15%, or whatever, it would be really awesome and very much appreciated if QVC would offer to customers who have shopped for a long time with them --- say for over 10 years maybe?? and provide a 10% discount!

I'm with you on that....shopping for over 20 years and not much given to us "older" shoppers at all. Come on QVC appreciate the old timers too.

Don't get me wrong because I am with you on this 100% but, I am sure the PTB @ QVC are going to roll on the floor laughing when they read this suggestion!!! 😇

Thanks, everyone!

It would be great though. I can't see how it could hurt their profit margins --- only help them.

I know when I go to stores that provide the senior discounts, it at least makes me feel that I am a little bit cared about or appreciated. Every little bit helps in this day and age!

It's a big wide shopping world out there. A lot of places to shop. It would make us all feel like our loyalty is appreciated!!!

I think a loyalty card has been suggested before. Unfortunately Q doesn't give discounts easily. You have to pry them from their cold dead hands.

If QVC - or any other place I shop - offers me an actual discount, I'm happy to use it for things I'd already be buying.

I've been working really carefully not to get roped into shopping just because there's a coupon or just because there's some other kind of discount.

The ones I dislike the most are the so-called discounts that you get for buying somethingt but that you have to spend even more to get that discount.

My feeling is that frequent shopper rewards are a good thing. They are also perhaps a different thing than a reward just for being a long-time shopper. QVC is most likely, if they reward anyone, to reward the people who buy the most often, like most other retailers - or the occasional "we haven't heard from you - come back" discount.

But just personally, for me any discount less than 20% is a joke. Any time I get a 10-15% offer from anywhere it goes right in my round file, virtual or actual, and definitely does not encourage me to buy.

When I'm offered a discount it usually comes from a place with $12 shipping. So thanks......but no thanks!

No shp and no waiting. Husband got 2 shirts.

Thanks for all your input!!!

I know what you are all saying. I know 10% isn't much, but I always figure it's better than nothing!!!

I don't like those deals (if you call them that) either where you have to buy something say at full price before you get a discount for something else. Or spend like $150 and get $10 off or something like that.

And so many stores, they have these coupons, and act like they are so wonderful, but once you look at the tiny-tiny print, there are a ton of exclusions.

Oh, well, a person can dream, right???

Hahaha, it will never happen. Good idea though.

This would be nice. But I notice companies usually give special offers to new customers more than to established ones.

Or how about if you buy a certain amount in a year, shipping and returns were free after that? Coldwatrer Creek used to do that and it was a teriffic incentive to buy only from them.

That would be nice since I have been with them before they were QVC but I have noticed latety their quality is garbage and have had to return many items here recently today was the final straw I shipped back a defective appliance once again no notice they had rec'd it and today on my acct showed a credit of 3.91 refunded, and they had charged the easy payment to my c/c well on the phone I got and finally got it straightened out but as of now I will either shop HSN or local stores done with the "Q"

FYI, QVC was QVC since its founding in June, 1986. The first live broadcast was Nov. 24, 1986. At that time, though, it was not carried in all markets. When CVN was taken over by QVC, CVN viewers then got QVC in CVN's place. But QVC was up and running before the CVN takeover. It was QVC from day one.

I do not think the company cares who is buying, as long as someone is buying.

Nice concept though,

We also like Kohls. Like any store you have to look at the construction and fabric. They have well made clothes. They sell very good appliances. My family enjoys all of the extras they give to their customers. We have name brand appliances that we paid next to nothing for because we bought on sale and used all of our earned credits. We appreciate that we are allowed to use multiple discounts even on a sales item. Great prices and quality on children's clothes. You want quality for the little ones but do not want to pay a ridiculous price for a garment that they may only wear 2 or 3 months if we are lucky. We pass all clothes on to other families. In these times everyone knows someone in your community or school who can use good children's clothing.
