There is no minimum purchase amount to use the reward, and it can be combined with most current promotions, making SAQ Inspire one of the simplest loyalty programs available in Quebec.\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__faq__item component__faq__item--opened wp-block-milesgutenberg-faq-item\">\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__title\">\n\t\t<h4 id=\"what_exclusive_perks_do_saq_inspire_members_get_\" class=\"toc_exclude component__faq__item__title__heading\">\n\t\t\tWhat exclusive perks do SAQ Inspire members get?\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content__inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\nBeyond points, members receive personalized promotions based on their taste profile (for example a discount on favourite grape varietals) and invitations to private in-store tastings. The mobile app also sends alerts when a wine you have been searching for is back in stock at a store near you. Members can use their purchase history to find a previously enjoyed bottle, and some pre-sale offers on Cellier exclusives are reserved for active SAQ Inspire members, giving early access before the public release.\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"component component__faq__item component__faq__item--opened wp-block-milesgutenberg-faq-item\">\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__title\">\n\t\t<h4 id=\"do_saq_inspire_points_expire_\" class=\"toc_exclude component__faq__item__title__heading\">\n\t\t\tDo SAQ Inspire points expire?\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t<i class=\"fas fa-chevron-down\"><\/i>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"component__faq__item__content__inner\">\n\t\t\t\n\nYes. SAQ Inspire points expire after 12 months of inactivity, meaning if no purchase is recorded on your account for a full year. As long as you make any purchase within that window, your full point balance is protected and the expiry counter resets. The expiry date is always visible in your online account and in the mobile app. To avoid losing hard-earned points, it is recommended to make at least one small qualifying purchase per year, even a symbolic one.\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/aside>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join SAQ Inspire to collect points every time you buy wine and redeem them for exclusive rewards.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":25141,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"tags":[],"mc_loyalty_program":[],"class_list":["post-147242","card_reward","type-card_reward","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mc_reward_category-retail","mc_market-all-of-canada"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
