What 10,000 More Rewards points are actually worth

More Rewards is the free loyalty program behind Quality Foods, Save-On-Foods, Buy-Low Foods, and about 700 other locations across BC.

0.15¢/pt — floor value

+$28 Extra value per 10,000 pts
left on the table every time
you choose groceries over travel

Every 10,000 points burned at checkout instead of on travel leaves $28 behind. Over a year of family grocery shopping, that gap becomes the difference between a discount and a trip.

How the travel portal works. More Rewards lets you redeem points toward flights, hotels, rental cars, and packages through their travel portal at morerewards.ca. You book as you normally would, then apply points at checkout, at 0.43¢ per point, nearly three times the grocery value.

Both cards are no-annual-fee and both plug directly into More Rewards. The Visa Infinite earns faster at Quality Foods and requires an income threshold to qualify.
