The Canon loyalty program offers a lot in my opinion, however, if their cameras had the functionality of Nikon's, I'd be at the Canon. In addition to that, Nikon offers an extra KICK.

I didn't know Canon had a loyalty program at all...what do they offer?
Wasn't aware they had one either. I am wondering if he is talking about CPS, Canon Professional Service program. If so Nikon has NPS which is the same thing but harder to join.
When you turn in a BROKEN camera they offer you a choice from a range of refurb models from the previous generation at a reasonable price. I have been buying Canon G's for $250 from that program for quite a few years now. Probably not going to take advantage of it next time since they never offered the S90, and I am tired of bulky heavy boxy G's. If I am going to shoot with a nail-sized sensor it might was well be light and pocketable. Saving $50 is not worth it.
Google Canon Loyalty Program, it is all on the web.

Yes the same thing, but there is an important difference: Nikon's NPS is targeted only at "working pros" who make most of their money from photography. No one else can join. I have not been able to join because, although I do make money from my images and I own a rather significant amount of Nikon gear which I use just like any other pro does, my photo income is still not "most" of my income.
I don't know if Canon's CPS is free for pros. However, I do know that non-pros can join for an annual fee if they want/need/value the benefits the program offers. I wish Nikon would take advantage of this revenue opportunity, because I could really use it.
