How we rate rewards programs

Our review compares rewards programs on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which rewards program they think is best!


Canstar Blue surveyed 4,081 Australians for their feedback on the rewards programs they are members of.

  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.


Respondents rate their satisfaction with their rewards program(s) from zero to ten, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and ten is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with a rewards program as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Value: the loyalty program offers sufficient rewards relative to spending.
  • Rewards: the loyalty program offers various incentives and rewards (i.e. discounts, savings, cashback from purchases, etc.).
  • Ease of redemption: the loyalty program has a simple and effective rewards redemption offer (i.e. rewards are automatically applied at checkout, etc.).
  • Accessibility & partners: the loyalty program allows members to earn rewards from multiple retailers.
  • Website & app experience: the website and/or application is easy to navigate and use (i.e. it’s easy to set up an account, view current program points, view account balance, etc.).
  • Ease of sign-up: the loyalty program was easy to sign-up to and set up an account for (i.e. members can sign-up in person or online, the program only requires basic contact details, etc.).

The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

  • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
  • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the Overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
    • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.

Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

  • Flybuys
  • Everyday Rewards
  • David Jones Rewards
  • Dan Murphy’s
  • MYER One
  • Sister Club (Priceline)
