Watsons / Watsons Card

alfagal SG

Anyone has it?

share about the pros and cons... =)

FireIce SG

i got the card last week, the 2nd day it was launched
activate online straight away get 20 pts

yday i used it for the first time
cos got national day promo
spend $44 nett can get 10% off and 44 bonus pts

some items have bonus pts
if u buy housebrand oso have bonus pts

i think $5 for lifetime membership is quite ok lah
i always go there buy toiletries and misc stuff
so it's quite useful for me

the bad thing is that the 1 pt is awarded for per $5 spent
if u spend $12 today u get 2 pts
if u spend $8 another day, u get 1 pt
(total although $20, it does not equal to 4 pts)
so have to caculate nice nice

every 20 pts equals to $1 which u can use to offset purchases
i currenty have 92 pts

Didn't get it. No use to me cos seldom go watson one.

FireIce SG

this type of thing more useful for obasans

alfagal SG

huh 20 points is one dollar...

wa..logically have to spent more than 100 bucks to get one dollar offset?

cos if lets say 20pts = 20x5 = 100bucks of purchase..lol..

but not bad lar lifetime..okie can consider hurhur..

It is worth it to join membership.

I made 2 trips today to enjoy the 44 points privilege. Think it is real worth compare it with some cards whereby you spend at certain shops and get 3% rebate. Better than Metro card.

The point system is rather confusing and just now I told the assistant about it.

the things there r exp

the only gd thing is that they are near my office

alfagal SG

haha cos we are not used to point value..

and always looking at dollar value like as if using credit card..

FireIce SG

i think the points is quite comprehendable

can always refer to the FAQ at the website

i read and done my calc before i decided to get the card

easy to chalk up points, if u always buy the housebrand items
and oso look out for the promos on other items for bonus points

this can be used with the POSB everyday card
so u can get rewards on both sides

alfagal SG

Hello Kitty SG
