The loyalty checker was due for review in May 2007, although this has still not been completed.
Also, as a suggestion, GAME has a loyalty card which is not listed.0 -
There is a new WATERSTONE'S loyalty card
you get three points for every pound spent in store with double points on certain items and each point is worth 1p its good cos you dont have to have the full amount to use your points like the advantage card but you dont get a full 3 points if something is 99p
oh and you can use it on their website as well which does free delivery hope it lasts0 -
What follows doesn't change any of the loyalty cards as you know it, just something that's often said that isn't quite strictly true. I'm using the Boots Advantage card for this example, but the same is true of all of them.
Boots offer 4 points per pound and each point is worth one penny, so many will say this is like a 4% discount. If you received the cash, it would, but you don't. You have to spend the points in the store.
This means that if you spend (to keep it simple) £100, you'd get 400 points worth £4. So you get goods worth £104 for £100. The "discount" is 4 (money discounted) ÷ 104 (total value of goods) = 3.85%
If you received £100 of goods for £96, that would be 4% discount.
Now that your brain hurts, please continue reading about great ways to save money!0 -
Hi,
When I was in Debenhams earlier and chatting to the SA and asked she me for my nectar card she said I should get them in Deb's while I still could. I asked what she meant an she replied they aren't going to be doing them anymore from Feb 14th! Apparently they all had a long letter about it!
I thought because of the timescale it should be a grabbit but someone may think it should be with loyalty schemes. I was 50/50 and I have read it isn't the done thing to double post. As I thought if there was anyne looking to make big Debenhams purchase to do it before then to get the nectar points, using what ever cashback/points scheme of their preference.
ByeeeeGreen and minimal chemicals is the new black- I know a fair old bit about sustainability, specially energy and transport stuff. If I can help- please ask!0 -
yeah I had a letter yesterday with my debenhams card statement saying that as of the 14th or 15th they were stopping :-(0
-
Is this stopping Nectar points on all purchases or just those with the Debenhams store card?0
-

Please note you will no longer be able to collect or spend points at Debenhams after 15th February 2008.0 -
