If you’re the type of cannabis consumer who clocks out of work on Friday, heads to your favorite dispensary, and restocks for the weekend, you’re not alone—and you might be missing out on some serious rewards. As a weekend warrior, those Friday and Saturday visits can rack up big points if you know how to play the loyalty game right.
Here’s how to turn your weekend dispensary runs into a strategic rewards-earning mission.
1. Stack Your Deals and Promotions
Fridays and Saturdays are typically the busiest days for dispensaries, and many shops roll out exclusive weekend deals. But here’s the key: not all deals are created equal, and some allow you to earn bonus points on top of savings.
Look for:
- Double Points Days: Many dispensaries offer 2x or even 3x the points on certain products over the weekend.
- Brand Promotions: Some featured brands offer extra rewards points when you buy their products on specific days.
- Bundled Deals: These can give you discounts and reward points on multiple products (like pre-roll packs or vape combos).
Tip: Check the dispensary’s app or website before you go. Planning pays.
2. Join More Than One Rewards Program
If you visit more than one dispensary on the weekend, you should be racking up points at each spot. Don’t limit yourself to just one loyalty system.
Many dispensaries offer:
- Sign-up bonuses (often 50–150 points just for registering)
- Weekend flash rewards exclusive to loyalty members
- Birthday boosts, referral points, and review incentives
Spread the love. Being loyal doesn’t mean being exclusive.
3. Use Pre-Tax Dollars Strategically
Rewards points are often calculated based on pre-tax totals. If you’re planning to drop $100+ anyway, you might as well grab higher-point items like concentrates, premium flower, or top-tier edibles when they’re on promo. This way, your purchase earns more without costing more.
4. Download the App (and Turn on Notifications)
Yes, another app. But trust this—dispensary apps often have:
- Weekend-only flash alerts
- Point multipliers sent via push notifications
- “Spend X, Get Y” challenges
Some dispensaries also give points just for opening the app daily, checking in-store, or placing an order through the app.
5. Redeem Wisely—Don’t Waste Your Points
It’s tempting to cash in points on a random Tuesday, but holding out until the weekend could stretch your stash further.
Watch for:
- Weekend redemption boosts (where points are worth more)
- Limited-time items that are only available Friday–Sunday
- Exclusive access to new drops or early product trials for top-tier members
Sometimes, waiting until the weekend not only earns you more, but also lets you redeem smarter.
Make Every Weekend Count
Being a weekend warrior doesn’t mean overpaying or missing out. It means timing your cannabis purchases to line up with the most rewarding days of the week.
By stacking deals, joining multiple programs, leveraging apps, and redeeming with intention, your Friday-to-Saturday dispensary routine could become the highlight of your loyalty strategy.
More weed. More points. More savings. That’s how you weekend like a pro.
