    Hi, just had a look at their site and it appears that 50,000 HMV points will only give you £10 credit not £500.:(

    HMV Points

    100 points = 1p = £5 :( (I think)


    Edit: I'm not sure I've worked that out right as they have a laptop there which costs 250,000 points and I don't think that's worth £25 ;)
    Mortgage: Was: £154,495 Oct 2039 Now: £81,279.78 May 2037

    £500 is how much you have to spend to earn 50,000 points.

    A £10 HMV voucher is 40,000 points and a £2 one is 10,000. Plus the Ts and Cs for vouchers earned with points are not as simple as they are for a normal gift voucher.
    There are lots of unique items available but you won't get very much at all for 50,000 points.

    it's not £500, it's some random things you can buy from the arena

    If HMV are giving away £2.00 for their 90th anniversary comp, things must be bad ............

    Watch those tick boxes as well ....... I know how scary they are for some of you

    It's basically saying win £500 spend worth of points - which would equal 50,000. If you wanted 50,000 you would have to spend £500 instore / online to get it otherwise. Maybe we should ask if we can have £500 worth of goods too :rotfl:

    But those 50,000 equals £12 ish
    Thanks to all posters :A
