Boots card
« on: November 09, 2010, 09:55:30 AM »
Why do the shop assistants in Boots always ask "have you got a Boots Card?"

If I had one I'd proffer it. It's not likely that the customer will reply with "thanks I'd forgotten I had one"

Prolly have targets for getting people to sign up, store cards are a good data mining tool.

I've got one but I always forget it.
I've got a Shell points card too, and always have to be reminded by the assistant.

I have a Nectar card, I always have it ready so I don't get asked. Seems obvious.

When I was convalescing I shopped with Sainsburys online. After I'd set up the account I found that I could see everything I'd bought in the previous few months  eeek: but useful though.

I have a Nectar card but I refuse to use it on principle, like. Have you ever used the Nectar points for anything?

Only £35 quid? Tank half full was it?

I filled the Land Rover at the weekend £65, then Her Ladyship's Corsa £47  Banghead
