Many different stores offer discount cards. A discount card is a
card which, when scanned, gives a discount or special sale price
for those who have signed up for it. While many of them are free,
some require a yearly fee. In either case, discount cards can
easily get lost or forgotten when shopping.
If the card was left at home or lost, there is no reason to not
get the special discounts it provides. Many stores will have the
discount card number stored in their database often accessible at
checkout with a phone number or name. Some stores may recognize a
regular client and just scan a generic store card so that the
discounts are registered. If the card is not on hand, ask for the
discount anyway.
