Loyalty Cards

[securespark]

Is anyone else peed off about these?

Tesco used to be OK. You got your vouchers in the post.

Sainsbury's have a really odd system where I could only get dribs and drabs, not the whole amount earned.

I go in today and get told I have to ring them as you can't ask for a discount at the till anymore, it's all done via the app?

I don't even have an app, just a card.

Then of course, if you don't have a loyalty card, you have to pay stupid prices.

I'm seriously thinking of boycotting Sainsbury's at least.

Anybody else annoyed?

My wife logs on Tesco club card on the pc and prints the vouchers off for the mother in law.
My mother in law won't use the app or account or even attempt to look at it.
Not a problem though.

I think the cost of printing and posting vouchers to millions of customers has got very expensive so they push people to use the app or pc access.
I think it is better than paper as it lists the vouchers by date, so you just need to have a look.
I've had a few suprise £5 off a £30 shop coupons as well...

I'll also add we recently received nectar vouchers dated for April such is the slow post. it's may now!
We are lucky to see a postman more than once a fortnight.

I was in Tesco's the once and some bloke was going ape shìt because he forgot his club card it was hilarious I lent him mine in the end

If you forget your club card you can get the money difference when you next go in if you keep your receipt.
So not worth kicking up a fuss

My beef with Tesco is they rarely send straight money vouchers, but £2 or £3 off if you spend more than £20 or £30 on eligible purchases. I can't remember the last time I spent more the £20 there.

What’s the idea of getting things posted or printed ?

It's a personal thing. It's like cash, as I don't carry any nor do I carry bank or credit cards.
All my loyalty cards are on phone. All my payment methods are on the phone.
If my phone dies while I'm out I know the risk but I have no need for cash or plastic cards.
That's me though.
I don't like the way the world has gone and I also don't like loyalty cards, but i have bigger problems keeping me awake.
I just bought some tickets for a show and you have to install app and use the digital ticket and that saved me £5 a ticket.
I think I'm paying the normal price and those that want paper tickets in post have to pay more.
They call it progress! Hum...

Yes I was in the habit of printing bus tickets in case my phone died

My only other use is a rare Amazon return

Im debating travelling to the library for this and ditch the printer

Other option is throw a 100 at a cheap laser printer

Hp instant ink is £1.79 a month for 10 pages.
That's another thing. We used to print loads but hardly anything now.
Paperless society.
Re mobile.
Never once have I lost my phone or the battery has died on me in the last 20+ years so I'm past worrying about it.
