That's just wrong! I have a couple cards from different businesses, multiples of one. They ave no problem combining cards. In fact they will punch mine then watch me hand it to DD and punch it again for her purchase(she doesn't live close enough to shop there often)
now they do have a minimum to punch it,$5 at one place, $10 at another.
It's incentive to return, not create ill-will.
