25.09.2013 | 積分優惠

[Volume 8 Issue 9, #1794]
打開你嘅銀包或手袋, 你可能發現裡面嘅會員卡呀優惠卡呀, 加上嚟比起你其他啲證件仲要多.. 今時今日感覺上去親邊度買嘢, 都好似(有需)要遞張會員卡, 可以儲積分或得到額外優惠, 就連街邊大牌檔都可能有呢一種玩意呀.. 我就忽然之間突發其想, 想話知道各位對呢啲所謂嘅會員積分或會員優惠, 究竟有何睇法?? 假設你正在排緊隊俾錢買嘢..
  1. 如果你前面嗰位顧客係冇會員卡嘅, 你會唔會請佢幫你碌你張會員卡, 等你可以儲額外嘅積分呢??
  2. 如果你前面嗰位顧客係冇會員卡嘅, 你會唔會願意借你張會員卡俾佢, 等佢都可以有會員額外折扣呢??
  3. 如果你冇會員卡但係你後面嗰位顧客係有嘅, 你會唔會主動幫佢碌佢張會員卡, 等佢可以儲額外嘅積分呢??
  4. 如果你冇會員卡但係你後面嗰位顧客係有嘅, 你會唔會開口問佢借張會員卡, 等你都可以有會員額外折扣呢??
我呀?? 以上全部四種情況之下, 我都肯定唔會.. 因為我實在係唔好意思同個陌生人講嘢囉, 其實更怕係俾人家兜口兜面拒絕, 呵呵!! :D
open your wallet or handbag, you will most likely find out that all your membership cards and discount cards add up to be so many more than your ID and financial cards.. it seems like everywhere we go buy things nowadays, we will probably (need to) use some kind of loyalty card for some extra perks, and even roadside stalls may have that mind you.. i suddenly have a thought about all these cards and points thingy, and a little curious about how different people view them.. imagine yourself queuing at the cashier ready to pay for your goods..
  1. if the person in front does not have a loyalty card, would you ask his or her favor to swipe your card so that you could earn some extra points??
  2. if the person in front does not have a loyalty card, would you offer to lend your card if cardholders are entitled to special discounts??
  3. if you do not have a loyalty card but the person behind has, would you offer to swipe his or her card so that the points are not wasted??
  4. if you do not have a loyalty card but the person behind has, would you borrow his or her card so that you are entitled to members-only special discounts??
how about myself then?? definitely it will be negative for all the four situations above.. because i am too shy to talk to a stranger, but actually more worry about the awkwardness if being declined, haha!! :D

    Dang! I'm too lazy to bother if its strangers. But usually, I'd borrow friends cards if I know I'm going shopping to those places I don't have loyalty card.

    I've asked friends to tag along to pay with their credit cards too because I don't have that one card that gives discounts at that particular shop. Most times, they don't mind. :-)

      I realised I am not a shopping queen like some aunties. i hardly swipe my Aeon card and regretted for paying card to join Watson!!!!! I kena sweet talked by that aggressive sales people at Watsons and Tesco but never used them as they are too thick to be kept in my wallet. The points accumulation by that hyper market is stupid and I could die laughing at my stupidity to sign up without doing the maths. The one who died laughing was none other than Letchumy la.

      my wallet is too small to keep all the cards together.. i just bring along a few that i use more frequently, the others just campak inside my bag lah..

      i got that Watson card because i cannot stand the ongoing nagging whenever i buy something from the shop!! and i thot, just take and let my ears rest from sufferings forever.. else, i wouldn't have paid RM12 for the card.. those free ones i don't mind applying if they offer good discounts..

    But if got discount offers, i will offer to others if the person don't have.. like that, I dont look tamak but generous.. hahahaha...

    Let it to me. I am so thick skinned! I have done it several times. I offered my goods purchased to be swiped for points by the customer in front of me who looked friendly enough. he bought just RM20+ but mine was over RM200+. He smiled broadly from ear to ear.

    I have the loyalty member's card but I seldom carried it. You know lah, my wallet was full of plastic cards. I think I need 2 wallets in future.

      I only have 3 discount membership cards at the Borders Books, GNC and a Hair Shop. They just require my IC if I do not carry any plastic cards with me. I like their trust and convenience. Why can't others do the same?

    2. Twilight Man25/9/13 11:33 AM

      Option A: If the buyer in front has goods purchased over a RM100, I would surely ask him/her to swipe my card and not be a fool to waste the points. I would cheekily offer a sweet to this buyer!

      A: i am always tempted to do that, but then never tried before..

      B: i won't take the initiative to offer, but then if he/she asks for it, i would be more than happy to lend..

      C: i won't do this also, unless he/she ask for the favor and i do not mind swiping for him/her..

      I once read that using another's loyalty card is a criminal offence. The article reported about someone facing a severe penalty for accumulating points from customers who did not have the loyalty card. This is an extreme case, of course.

      But I would still lend my loyalty card if being asked. I once did that at a bookstore making the other person all smiles. She got a good discount from the books she bought. I was happy too being able to help.

    I wanna cry dei. I just recalled that I have thousands of points from bonus Link and I have lost its card since last year. I must quickly go and get a new car replaced otherwise it might expire.

    The stupid Shell station's cashier near my old condo often swiped his own Bonus Link when the customers do not have this card. Can you imagine how many thousands of ringgit per day he manage to swipe for himself when customers all pumped over RM70-150 of petrol each time!!!!

      aiyoh, quickly go and get your new bonus link card, the points can be converted to money dei, don't thrown them away!! and yeah, i think that cashier must be rich earning bonus link points from his customers huh?? sure he has redeemed a lot of things with all those free points..
