Well, if you live in the area and use Shoprite anyway, I guess it's worth signing on, but really -- what a crummy program. You've got to reach that $500 threshold first and then one point for every two dollars.

Let me clarify - you will get 250 miles for the $500 'qualifying miles' you spend. If you do your primary grocery shopping at Shoprite, like I do, $500 is easily attainable in a few months.

Would anyone really alter their grocery shopping for this bonus? I would think you could count them on one hand -- unless folks don't bother to figure out how modest the potential points will be.

It will for me - slightly. If I have choice between Shoprite and Pathmark, where do you think I'll make a conscious effort to go to now? Before I wouldn't have cared.
