  I am capable of drinking enough free coffee to equate a 5% discount.

    Do you get free coffee at IKEA wherever you live?

      There is no free Ikea coffee in Québec or Ontario.

      The member card here gives access to some discounts (not a flat discount, but discounts on whatever thing they decided to put on sale) and an extended return window.

  Same thing in Canada, I guess they’ll introduce the same model to the US.

  That’s how it originally was in the US. I had it for years and it was absolutely useless, I used to complain about what’s the point of even having it if the only benefit was ONE return without a receipt per calendar year. You’re telling me you want to track all my purchases, but you can’t actually track all my purchases? Give me a break.

  Then a few years ago they added free coffee, so it became worth it again. The 5% off thing is new enough I remember being surprised when I learned it.
