There are a lot of travel reward cards that offer you bonuses for the things that you spend the most money on. For some, this could be travel, dining or entertainment purchases. But for many families, the supermarket is where they spend more of their time, and money. Besides, supermarkets and grocery stores offer so much more than food. In fact, you can earn these bonus rewards when visiting a supermarket to buy everything from gifts to pet supplies to prescription drugs.
