Loyalty cards of different shops

If you are staying in Finland for longer than typical tourist visit, you notice that many Finnihs companies offer their loyalty cards and give special prices for their frequently visiting customers. Most of them give very little benefit and their main focus is to get contact information of customers for targeted advertising. However there are some loyalty cards that many finns do have and you should consider.

1. S-Etukortti. You cannot avoid using services of S-Group in Finland because they have strong market position in retail shopping (Sokos, S-Market, Alepa), hotels (S-Hotels), restaurants (Chico's, Rosso, Coffee House, Amarillo and many others) and gas stations (ABC). Their loyalty card is called Co-op membership and you can get benefit every time you visit any S-Group company.

2. Another major player in Finland is Kesko and their loyalty card is called Plussa-card. Unfortunately their website is only in Finnish. If you have the S-Etukortti and this Plussa-card you have a loyalty card for majority of shops in Finland.

Finland timezone is GMT+2 (East European Time EET)

Finland belongs to the East European Time EET timezone which is GMT +2 hours. It means that Finland is one hour ahead compared to the majority of Europe that live in Central European Time CET. CET is GMT +1. Finnish time zone has some practical influences on business and work in Finland: Finland based employees can have virtual meetings with Asian and US colleagues at the same working day. If Finnish employees start they day 8-9, which is normal in Finland, they still have few common hours with their Asian colleagues or customers for virtual meetings. Later in the afternoon US colleagues or customers start their working day when Finnish employees are leaving the office but it's still possible to schedule meetings late in the Finnish afternoon or early evening so that US colleagues attend.
