Side hustle 5: loyalty programs

Many companies offer loyalty programs. Here you can think of banks, retail shops, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants etc. Often you have to sign up for the loyalty programs of these entities, but sometimes you automatically quality for a loyalty program.

Personally, I am benefiting from loyalty programs from the banks I have accounts with (some are more interesting than others). While for retail shops, supermarkets, hotels and restaurants you often have to actively sign up to benefit from them.
