How many stores do you shop at regularly? I bet there are at least half a dozen stores or more that you stay loyal to over a long period of time. How much is that loyalty worth to the store? The answer is "a lot," and a website is finally recognizing that and finding ways to reward those loyal customers of various merchants.

The utango rewards program is a fairly simple concept. You sign up (it's free), and then you make your regular purchases from stores like Nordstrom, Barnes & Noble, or Target through the uTango.com website. There are currently 250 different merchants working with uTango. For each purchase, you get Tango bucks that can be redeemed for annual cash rewards or what they refer to as Life-Stage Cash Rewards.

With regular purchases, those life-stage cash rewards can be huge. How huge? How about $10,000 after 10 years of membership, or $100,000 at 20 years, or $1,000,000 at 30 years. Think of it as a nice way to supplement your retirement fund.

uTango Rewards Program offers more to its loyal members than any other rewards program on the internet today. Think of it like your credit card point rewards system, except you don't get crushed by a massive penalty when you can't pay your monthly bill because uTango is not a credit card company. uTango is just a simple way of being rewarded for the purchases that you probably make anyway on a daily or weekly basis.
