credit card loyalty points

this is not a major thing - I just feel cheated and wanted to tell others
I chose a card (Sony) with the idea of collecting enough points to get a Hi Fi -( I always pay in full each month so interest rates were not a consideration - ) but since taking the card out (2006) the company have regulary reduced the items available (there were many there at the outset)- I finally thought this was going nowhere, as each time I focused on a gift it was withdrawn by the time I get the points, and so I requested one of the two items available to use up my points and I was then going to close the card and get one with something more useful as a loyalty scheme. they have now said that what I ordered they cant supply (even though they are for sale in high street stores) I feel cheated - I have expressed my displeasure to the company and await their reply - I shall however take my custom elsewhere!

That;s why I never bothered with points/selected store vouchers & went for cashback, instead.

But now we've lost Shell, it'll be back on the Nationwide .25% instead.

Hardly worth the effort, but at least it'll give the xtra years warranty on electrical stuff.

If I ever buy anything!!
