seatbeltnoob

IS there anyone here whose used ASDA rewards for a long time.

Do you know if the supershopper thing is a long term promotion or just a one off for october?

The think wher ethey give you £1 for first shop, £2 for 2nd shop, £2 for 3rd shop and £5 for the fourth shop.

I just joined a few days ago, and I can see it's called October Super Shopper.

i dont know if this just for october or it's always avilable for every month.

Thanks

I don't have it on mine, I still have the wheel thing until the end of tomorrow.

I've had the app months, you must be on a new user promo.

ah ok. I thought I was onto a little scheme. I was planning on opening more and more asda reward accounts and get up to £100 a month in free credits.

Assume nothing stopping you if you use different email addresses each time and log in and out of the app.

that was the theory, actually you can just screenshot and print out the barcodes on a paper to make it easy to handle all your accounts. But it seems that the supoer shopper promo promo (which you get just for making any transaction) is only available every so often.

Deals are tailored to individual spending patterns and designed with the intent of parting you from your money.

I don't have a problem with this! But I do often treat myself to things I wouldn't ordinarily buy (eg bottles of spirits) when they are on offer as well and I can stack discounts. Added to that I am happy that I can see my savings in front on me. I have lost count of the number of Tesco clubcard vouchers have expired in my wallet unused, simply because it is a paper-based system.

There is also 2FA for logging in to the app so that could cause a problem.

The super shopper / milestone missions vary from month to month, they come and go and can be different between customers.  For Nov I have got £1 at £50 cumulative spend for the first milestone which then unlocks another £1 milestone up to 5, each with a yet unknown spend.  Previously I have had £s on single or cumulative £X shops each week & £s on £X cumulative shops over the month.

Well it is about time that Asda had something of the sort. All the big supermarkets have loyalty schemes these days such as Tesco, Sainsburys etc

A lot of people saying how ASDA rewards is so good. I am a bit cynical.

Yes compared to nectar points or tesco clubcard, you do accumilate points fast. Thse ceased to be an incentive to shop in one supermarket over another and everyone just got cards with every supermarket and just the card on whichever supermarket they were shopping at.

But to draw a comparison between asda rewards and clubcard/nectar is wrong.

Asda rewards should be compared to nectar discounts and clubcard discounts. Tesso started it off with discounts for clubcard members only. You will get 50p/£1 off items just for using your clubcard.

tesco will give you money off your bill for that, there and then. With asda you accumulate the credit on your app to use against a later purchase.

Asda rewards creates a great optics of savings. And muddies the conventional mysupermarket price comparison. Now people can't fairly compare with all the hidden prices and all that.

IMHO consumer watchdog should get involved and ban all these hidden/member pricing and give everyone one fair and consistent price. Because right now it's impossible to compare supermarkets.

How much is a 40x jaffa cake now? Who the f*** knows. Supermarkets have 2 different prices for members and non members.

So, back to Retail Price Maintenance, then? Same price in every shop, just in case someone may pay more than another person?
