1 min read · Sourcing in Canada

Points and cashback lower your real cost, but only count them if you will actually use them.

What stacks

Store loyalty points
Credit card rewards
Cashback portals for online orders

How to count them

Value points at what you would really redeem them for, and treat them as a bonus, not as the reason a deal works.

Rules

Programs have terms. Some exclude business purchases or bulk buying. Read them.

Records

Keep rewards separate in your bookkeeping; ask an accountant how they affect your costs.

General information for resellers, not financial, tax or legal advice. Marketplace fees and policies change; check the current rules before you buy.
