No it's a straight off $55 voucher for the same number of points (10,000) as you'd ordinarily redeem for $50.
You're probably thinking of the Park'n'Shop nonsense recently where you get coupons and then another bonus coupon on top.
With basic Yuu points, effectively it's 0.5% cash back. It's not much, just like your standard credit card rebates (0.4%, 1%, 2% or whatever).
I can understand not bothering with any of it, but if you go for credit card cash back, then this is still another 0.5% and it does add up.
You're right there's no rush to redeem, although over the years I've not really noticed anything more worthwhile than the $55 Wellcome coupon.
I just redeemed one. Yes, the entire $55 voucher must be used within 14 days of points redemption. So the one I just redeemed is valid until 22 June.
Not such a good deal I'm afraid, considering the regular e-vouchers are valid for one year.
Typical Dairy Farm.
I see your point, yes.
In fact I have wasted one before - leaving it till too late and then encountering a system error at the casher which meant I had to try again the next day (and forgot about it).
That said, Wellcome is my local go-to and I'm there at least twice a week, so in my case 14 days is normally fine.
POS points system, got my fill of rubbish knives, cutting boards, and fry pans from the stickers.
Only reason I used the money back system is instant discounted prices, but their points system is also crap, get 2/10 of a % cash back.
Need to get a tshirt made to point to at checkout MO-YUU ah!
Not only is it a slight nuisance having to wave off cashiers repeatedly asking, but it becomes majorly annoying in residential neighbourhoods with other people fumbling around to get their code and creating further delays.
People must not value their time very much if they don’t see the systemic downsides to what is “free”.
Sounds like #18 and #19 comments should be combined to:
"make t-shirt with Yuu QR code printed on it"
Both problems solved!
So having worked on this loyalty programme for about 3 years before it came into being, let’s just say I think it could have been a lot better designed (I tried)
Anyway best deals for me that I’ve found for points redemption are
- KFC Egg Tart redemption (400 points. No other purchase needed)
- KFC Criss cut fries (600 points)
- Wellcome and IKEA bonus vouchers - these come about occasionally and are usually short promotions
