22.04.2012 | 甚麼道理

[Volume 7 Issue 4, #1392]
每次去屈臣氏買嘢, 啲職員一定冤鬼纏身咁叫你申請會員卡.. 經過無數次不勝其煩之後, 為免夜長夢多, 日前終於妥協拎咗張!! 本來以為有價值RM200優惠固本可以值回入會費, 點知發現全部都係唔等駛嘅垃!!圾!! 好啦, 再上網啟動張卡, 結果死都要我接受「本人同意讓屈臣氏使用本人所提供的資料與選擇渠道聯絡本人」呢個條款(仲有屎到流嘅文法我都未講)!! 咩道理呀?? 我想保留私隱唔要被聯絡都唔俾?? 真係買張垃圾返嚟阻掟~~ @_@
every time at watson's, the staff will sure hard-sell their members card to customers.. after many times of decline, i got irritated and to stop those further nagging i finally gave up and took one.. at first i thought with the RM200 worth of vouchers it's worth the fees, but only to find out all vouchers are useless rubbish!! ok, and when i wanted to activate the card, the website won't get through unless i accept the "you agree watsons to use the information provided by you and the chosen channels to contact with you" clause (not to mention the lousy grammar they use)!! WTF??!! can't i have my privacy and not to be contacted?? it feels exactly like buying a piece of rubbish for nothing~~ @_@

    The same goes with all those free PA which pay RM10,000 upon your death in car accidents! So many silly people signed up and typed in the full personal details for a free PA. Ha ha ha all the bigots trick people.

      i think they put in clauses in those fine prints (that we never bother to read) to include our consent to allow them to use the provided information..

    They can sell your database from RM10 to RM100 depending on how detailed the info. That is where and how telemarketers make calls to sell you stuffs.

      sometimes good also to share the cards because you will concentrate the points in a single card, then can claim prizes quicker..

    Eh, have to manually activate that Watson's card? How can? Macam la so high tech like ATM card.

    How about the benefit? Got discount when purchasing stuff from Watson? Or just collect points for redemption later? Or simply can enjoy the "members' day" privilege?

      dunno lah, still can collect points, just that activated already you get extra 200 points lah.. but that 200 points only equals RM1, so cheap lah.. paying us RM1 to use our contact information for their marketing?? lame..
