Shopping for points is a concept that started in drug and grocery stores, but the saving strategy has recently expanded to include a number of beauty, fashion and lifestyle brands. (We've even got our own program! My Lucky Rewards let's you get cash back for your online fashion purchases. Sign up here to start saving today.)

Unlike flash sales, this system ensures round-the-clock incentives on products you'd already be purchasing. We've found 8 companies we love that also offer membership reward programs for little or no additional cost. Click through to start saving now.

N.dulge Card

Join the British beauty emporium's inner circle for free and receive $5 off every time you buy $100 worth of product. (Which, in a store full of Diptyque candles and chubby NARS lip pencils, is easy to do.) Click here to join now.

AEREWARD$

For every dollar spent at any of the retailer's three labels (American Eagle Outfitters, Aerie and 77kids) you'll receive one point in your account. These are tallied every three months and turned into coupons. The more you shop, the better your discount will be—500 points equal 40 percent off!—so don't hold back! Click here to join now.

REfresh Client Reward Program

Although this promotion is only valid in actual Fresh boutiques, it's worth the trip if you're a fan of the brand. For every $100 you drop in store, your card will get punched. Do that five times and score a $50 gift card, good toward any purchase of $100 or more. Click here for more information.

My Starbucks Rewards

We're caffeine junkies and we know that daily cappuccino fix can really add up. The beauty of Starbucks' rewards card (which is actually just a gift card you've registered online) is that the more you order, the better your savings will be. Every transaction earns you "stars," which translate to free syrup, soymilk, refills and, eventually, actual drinks. Click here to join now.

Famous Footwear Rewards

Anyone can join the footwear company's incentive program—which includes gift certificates and special discounts—free of charge. But, if you happen to spend over $200 annually, you'll receive extra rewards such as access to friends and family sales and a birthday offer. Click here to join now.

Beauty Insider Card

Every dollar spent at the cosmetic chain means a point for your personal "beauty bank." Redeem them in either $100 (a smaller sample) or $500 (an exclusive gift set) increments. Click here to join now.

DSW Rewards

Cash in on your shoe shopping habit by racking up credit with every purchase. Spend enough and you'll receive a $10 gift card toward your next pair. Click here to join now.

Amazon Prime

If you spend more than $79 on books, movies and shipping annually, we suggest signing up for Amazon Prime. The yearly stipend covers free 2-day shipping, one complementary Kindle book each month and unlimited access to thousands of streaming videos. Click here to join now.
