Hudson’s Bay Rewards

The loyalty program for the 89 The Bay stores in Canada is called Hudson’s Bay Rewards. It includes online shopping at labaie.com. Registration is free.

By subscribing to the newsletter, you will receive a $10 discount applicable on your next purchase.

Each dollar spent at The Bay earns one to two points depending on the member’s Rewards status. The status is defined by the amount spent annually.

The Bay also offers a Mastercard credit card: the Hudson’s Bay neo Rewards. This card doubles the points earned on purchases.

The first 1,000 points are required to receive a $5 rebate on an in-store or online purchase. However, gift cards are excluded, unlike the previous program, which was revamped in 2020. And to keep your account active, you must make a transaction every 24 months.

Moreover, it is possible to :

• Convert Hudson’s Bay Rewards points to other programs such as Air Miles or RBC Rewards. And the opposite is also possible.
• Earn Reward points by completing surveys.
• Link your Rewards account to your Petro-Points account to earn 20% more points when buying gasoline at Petro-Canada.

You will also need to show a government-issued photo ID to access your points bank in-store. A PIN when shopping online will play this role in terms of security.

There are three statuses to the loyalty program.

Hudson’s Bay Rewards awards 1 point for every $1 in purchases. It represents the baseline level given to program membership.

Hudson’s Bay Rewards Plus awards 1.5 points per dollar spent on purchases over $400 in a year.

Hudson’s Bay VIP Rewards awards 2 points per dollar spent on purchases over $1200 in a year.

The last two statuses are acquired after at least two separate transactions/visits. This means that you would not be able to access VIP Rewards status after a single expenditure of $1,200 but at least after two purchases, such as $1,000 and $200. You will then be able to keep this status for the current year and the following calendar year. After that, you will have to reach the required spending amount again to obtain the level.

If you are a frequent user of the Bay’s retail store, keep in mind that points generated on purchases are doubled when paid with your credit card.

For example, a $200 purchase that earns 200 points for the basic status holder will be doubled when paid with the Hudson’s Bay neo Rewards credit card. For a total of 400 points. The same purchase will generate 600 points for the Rewards Plus member and 800 points for the VIP member.

Finally, you should know that the credit card has no annual fee, offers a 15% discount on its first use, free shipping, and personalized promotions.
