Cultural Tip
Loyalty cards are extremely common in Brazil, especially in supermarkets, coffee shops, and pharmacies. They are often called “cartão fidelidade” or “cartão de pontos”. Many chains now offer a digital version that can be saved in a mobile app, so you might also hear “Você tem o cartão fidelidade no app?”. When asking, keep a friendly tone; a smile goes a long way in Brazilian customer service culture.
