watsons membership card

I wanted to blog about this looong time ago. nana and i were in Watsons sometime back when the sales lady told us about the membership card.

Watsons now has a membership card!


BUT... let's see..


They states>

every $5 spent = 1 point
every 20 points = $1 cash rebate


sounds COOL

in other words,

every $5 spent = 1 bonus point
20 bonus points = must spend $100
spent $100 = $1 cash rebate

to earn back your $5 card fee, you first gotta spend $500.

that means, after you got your membership card,
to SAVE $5, you first gotta spend $1000.


Of course it has to be a lifetime membership. who spends $1000 in Watsons every year?
the marketing peeps ought to be shot.

ok, i know they gives alot of vounchers and bonus points for birthday month etc, but is it worth all the trouble?
