Hardware store Wickes has launched a free loyalty card where, for every pound you spend in-store, online, or via its catalogue, you'll earn 1 point. Once you hit 1,000 points you can redeem them for a £10 discount voucher.

As a bonus, sign up for the card now and you'll get 500 points completely free. If you think you'll spend at least £500 at Wickes within the next year, it's worth picking up a card for a free tenner.

If you are spending £12000 a year in wickes, then you are probably trade. You will save more by shopping in toolstation or screwfix.

Following up my telephone enquiry on 24.05.12 regarding the expired 1400 or so points on my MyWickes Card, I will endeavour to post the said card, cut up.
Your Loyalty scheme is complete and utter rubbish. You mention so many benefits in spending my money as a customer in your Wickes shops, but in the same time make the loyalty points’ very short expiry date hidden deep in the terms and conditions. It should have been clearly written in your FAQ, at least.
I cannot use the card directly to spend my points, since I have to contact you to issue me with a voucher? I should have been sent the vouchers automatically, there’s nothing in your terms and conditions that state that, I only found out when complaining!

Not only have you lost me as a loyal customer for the meagre amount 14 pounds worth of points, but I will make it a purpose to ensure your company loses as many of my friends, relatives and acquaintances that will ever discuss purchasing building/DIY materials from Wickes in my presence.

Even more, I will attempt to liaise with Trading Standards, since you ply for business using misleading advertising. For this I will quote from your website’s Redemption paragraph, “Vouchers will be sent to the Cardholder’s address”.

In conclusion, I feel I have been tricked by your marketing exercise. As a company, you should be ashamed of yourselves for resorting to this kind of behaviour.
