United's Market Street stores have introduced a new loyalty program. United is a chain owned by Albertsons. So this could be a sign that Albertsons is thinking about adding a rewards programs to its stores. This rewards program does not use cards, but it is linked to a customer's telephone number. The rewards program has the ability to add coupons from the weekly ad as well as view and share shopping lists via text and email.
