It would be nice if the membership fees at a fitness centre were tax deductible. I pay $79 for 3 months. So for a couple it's $632/year. The government is always saying that we need to get off the couch. So here's their opportunity to provide some incentive. Clare (USA) says her insurance pays her membership fee. I think it saves them money over time.

We lost that years ago in Ontario, I remember I used to get so many points from shoppers drug mart for all my prescriptions. It sure was a nice perk.

Just saw a news article that the plan to ban all loyalty points in pharmacies in BC has been postponed;
