ポイントカード

日本に住むと、財布の中はお札よりポイントカードが多くなってしまう。持ち運ぶ価値のあるカードはビックとさくらやぐらいかな。結構くだらないカードが渡されたりします。たとえば1万円の商品を使うと、10ポイントがたまる。しかしその10ポイントは10円に相当する。。。
故郷のイギリスにはもっとひどい大手スーパーのカードが存在し、100ポンド(2万3000円ぐらい)を使うと、1ぺにー(2.3円ぐらい) がもらえる。賞味期限切れの商品を買うと、ポイントがもっともらえる。そんなわけでポイントを早く貯めたければ、お金を使うのではなく、賞味期限の切れた牛乳などを食えばいい。
ところでこれらのカードは妻のものです。彼女はポイントカード好きである^^;

Sounds like a nice duty-free system to me. They look like fidelity cards too...
Not much else to say tonight.
It's always nice to see some specific things from Japan and sometimes more broadly, Asia.

I don't have any point cards. They never seemed real successful around the area where I live so most businesses don't bother with them.

Never really used one since we don't do it so often here in Houston. I just voted 1-5 for the chance I probably used one but didn't know it. :P
BTW, that's a lot of point cards. XD

I technically have two point cards, but one is actually just an Arcade (Gameworks) card that gives a discount after you purchase X amount of points.
Other than that, it's hard to find good reward programs aside from sketchy credit card rewards.

Hrm, in my country the cards you get are mainly "buy 2 get 1 free" in store, but then you get points added to the card, and you get a money-back voucher at the end of every month, that depends on how many points you have...
Although, they are very uncommon here, I can only think if 2 stores that do this.
lol... 10 yen off :O

The only point card I really use is in a manga/figure shop : I collect points when I buy mangas (like the first "Death Note", available in french this month) and I use them to buy some nice figures ! ^^

Here in the U.S. of A. you will pay a penalty for not using your "members" card at most grocers. The price is high with out your card. Just another way of reaffirming the fed / feeder relationship. It's totally voluntary of course.

The Import store I buy from lets you either pay in-store price and you get a Point Card that gives you 10$ per like...10 purchases, or you can just pay the prices they have listed on their site which are generally 10$ less than store price....yeah...

Yeah, I agree most point cards here are pointless. You literally get a card from every shop you enter! I have a crapload that amounts to the thickness of yellow pages! That said, I only carry around 8-ish. But these 8 are the plastic type therefore they make my wallet seem huge even though I only have ¥1,000 in there!

When I shop at Japan, they will ask me if I have point cards almost any stores.
Everytime people talk about point cards, it reminds me of that scence in a J-Drama called Kekkon dekinai Otoko when the actor shops at Conbini....

I think that point cards generally give you about 1% back. Though some are much better value.
For instance Ootoya gives you a free meal for every 15 points. And you get 1 point per meal (sometimes more).
And Denny's gives you ¥500 off 5 points. Where you get 1 point per kids meal, which are around ¥500. So that's about 10%. And sometimes they give you more stamps that they should have :)
Point cards are generally worth having for things you frequent often, or will spend a lot of money at.
There's an article about <a href="http://leefe.ratestheworld.com.au/2008/11/26/land-of-the-loyalty-club/">Japan's obsession with point card</a> back in May last year which you might find interesting.

I used to carry around a lot, but I never actually filled them up, so they were pointless. Now I just carry around a movie point card. I've gotten 2 free movies and free drinks/popcorn with it.
