sainsbury's cards

[paulz]

Anyone else ticked off with the chancellor's decision to stop us collecting points on nectar cards when you buy fags in sansburys?

[Headtime]

Really???? That's a bit of a shocker. However, Nectar cards are an insideous marketing device of little benefit to the consumer. I've thrown mine away.

[paulz]

Headtime - I realise that, but the fact they give you back what's even a minor amount [compared to the spend involved] is better than a poke in the squiggs

[Hippy]

Now would seen a good time to give up the tobacco then. You wil live longer to enjoy the benefits from your Nectar card. Your family will like you more as well I should imagine.

Child 1: My dad's a successful engineer, what does your dad do?
Child 2: My dad smoked cigarettes, ended up with one leg, unable to breathe, and gasping for a fag until he died.

Go for a credit card that gives you cash back .... much more useful than points.

[LeMarchand]

But he hasn't stopped you from getting points by buying your fags with a Barclaycard. Heh heh.

[FTVS]

Have to admit I was astonished that we were ever able to do so wasn't that surprised when it was disallowed.

[Spellmaster]

No, the more that can be done to stop people buying these appalling deathsticks, the better.

[paulz]

spellmaster - so it's ok on beer & spirits then ? What about heart attack inducing food - where do you draw the line?
