Is 'loyalty programme' just another word for 'cult'?

Ad Nut greatly enjoys this deadpan TVC, which posits that loyalty programmes are like cults.

But the star of the campaign, for ALDI by BMF, is the Reward Scheme Calculator. You input how much you spend on groceries each week and then find out how long it would take to earn specific rewards at competing grocery stores.

Ad Nut also calculated it would take 73 years and $382,000 to get a laptop.
