We usually hear or see in telly the downside of being a loyalty
member of Department Stores or Supermarkets.
I can’t remember seeing news about the upside of being one. I suppose, it can be deemed as free
advertising and one shouldn’t give these multi-million if not billion businesses
a free ride. As I vow to be more grateful
and thankful, I am going to talk about one of the benefits of being a member
that I experienced recently.
With scanning your card when shopping, your
spending and shopping habits are being tracked.
I know for some people, it is equivalent to invasion of privacy to some
extent. I don’t mind, I have nothing to
hide. If anything, I like it sometimes
as I get offers for products that I usually buy. One of the good things for having your
shopping habit tracked is that, if you bought a recalled product, they send you
an email. I received an email last year
about a double-adaptor (not for firewire audio interface, no). It took me awhile to round up those as I
bought two packs of 2. I took them to
the shops last week and got a refund.
