A great dispensary rewards program feels simple on day one and valuable by day thirty. The “best” programs usually share a few traits: easy enrollment, clear earn-and-redeem math, perks that show up often (not once a year), and rules that don’t punish customers for shopping the way they actually shop. It also helps when a program works across many locations—because loyalty is easier to keep when travel, work, or convenience changes the store someone visits.
Below are several rewards programs that consistently stand out for transparency, scale, and shopper-friendly benefits.
Curaleaf Rewards earns high marks for clarity and usefulness. Curaleaf states that points can be redeemed for dollars off purchases, and the program is positioned to work across Curaleaf-operated locations—useful for customers who split purchases between nearby cities or different states. Shoppers who value straightforward “earn points, get money off” mechanics tend to like this style because it’s easy to track savings without waiting for a rare promo.
Trulieve Rewards stands out for frequent member engagement and state-by-state availability details. Trulieve publishes program explainers and member-focused promotional periods (like Rewards Week), which signals an active loyalty strategy rather than a “set it and forget it” points system. For shoppers, that usually translates into more bonus-point events, rotating deals, and clearer instructions on how to use points.
RISE Cannabis Rewards is a strong pick for shoppers who want a big footprint and a familiar points-per-dollar style. RISE promotes redeemable points across a large national store base, while also being transparent that eligibility and portability can vary by state due to regulations (for example, adult-use limitations in Massachusetts). That kind of disclosure matters—because the best rewards program is the one a shopper can actually use where they live.
Cookies “Cookie Dough” Loyalty Program appeals to customers who want more than discounts. Cookies positions its program around points plus access—promos, exclusives, and even sweepstakes and events “where applicable.” For brand-driven shoppers who chase drops and limited releases, this is a compelling style of loyalty.
AYR Wellness Loyalty deserves a mention for shoppers who like simple earn rates and milestone-based redemption options. AYR publishes easy-to-understand point thresholds (example: points converting to set dollar discounts) and highlights birthday-style perks in at least some markets. The result feels predictable—especially helpful for budget-minded patients.
Planet 13 Loyalty is notable for member-only pricing culture in Las Vegas, where the company explicitly frames many promos as loyalty-member benefits. For tourists and locals alike, programs structured around “member pricing” can deliver immediate value—often the same day someone signs up.
A final tip: because cannabis loyalty rules can vary by state and product category, shoppers should ask a budtender two questions before committing—“Do points expire?” and “Can I stack rewards with daily specials?” The strongest programs answer both clearly.
