Loyalty programs are discontinued and/or modified all the time. For example... for over 20 years my wife and I had been a member of the Fridays Points club. Each time you go and spend money they give you a certain number of points depending on how much money you received.

Later you could redeem the points for various food items or other stuff. One of the items was a cruise. We decided to go for that... know it would take a long time. however, we would choose to go to Friday's rather than elsewhere to keep getting more points.

A few years ago... the totally changed the loyalty program. What did we get for our 20 years of patronage? A $25 gift card iirc.

I'm also guessing the terms of the club probably said the reserved the right to change the deal at any time with no notice. I fully expect the Buywise club says something like this too.

The bottom line is... nothing here is actionable...

As a matter of fact:

YOU ARE STILL A MEMBER AND STILL GET DISCOUNTS!!!
