As a Trade Cardholder, can I use the Retail side of the program?
Yes, the Retail AdvantageCard Program is obviously designed for the Homemakers who pay a higher price, and therefore may receive more AdvantageCard points per dollar spent.  As a Trade Cardholder, you are entitled to use your Trade card on the Retail side of the program, and this simply means you will most likely be paying RRP for products and services.

Do my points expire?
Points remain valid for a period of 2 years from the date that they are first credited to the Member's Account, after which, if not redeemed, will be forfeited.
