19th November 2008
been counting the number of weeks till its 40 that as i was typing the date today, i realised its been 9 months being 29. which means another 3 months to enjoy it till the BIG 30. this is not the center of wht im about to crap about today people! he he he he..
ever cleared up your wallet to find so many membership cards?
jgn cakap la pasal membership card to me, the idea of cleaning it up only occur, when it is suddenly bulky semacam..ha ha ha...
wtf is a membership card u ask? alar, u knw
"kumpul-point-discount-on-certain-item/certain-season - FREE membership" card that i believe is intended to pull customers back into their stores, then at every month/3months/half a year u'll get catalogs of gifts u can exchange with the points accumulated
(tho looking at the puny points collected so far, punah terus harapan membuak buak to get that new oven, tvPlasma, vacum...etc etc...hehehehehe)
before i got married, i only had the basics of membership card-
bonuslink card (mostly guna when filling minyak, shopping kat parkson) ,
Mr Read (plusSize store but not a member anymore, forgot to renew, causing me to shop another RM800 in a single receipt in order to become a member balik (not gonna happend darling..hehehe)
MPH (yep, am a big book collector, and am trying to make sure i finish reading most of it. hehehehe) and
MAS Enrich Card (am now a proud owner of silver card, thanks to those frequent flying to geneva)
nw expecting a child, i have now added a few more
(and the deals have gotten even crazier k!) :
(i)
anakku - to be a member i had to pay RM10. this has no particular discounts wth so ever just accumulate points for exchange of gifts, but they offer special price for membership customer. I love those gurls working at anakku alamanda and 'angah' at anakku bangi that has so far made my membership of RM10 worth it..
he he he he..
(ii)
manjaku - nw this store is huge in bangi and i am a proud member of this RM3-to-be-a-membership card (cheap!! i knw) the tawaran memang hebat : discounts of up to 30% on items in manjaku
(looking high above the store, not noticing the small typed add syarat-syarat).
and so happily i got one, only to find out that the 30% is only for them white price tags, which most was in yellow, and get this, only valid to use (and membership given) to those who are pregnant. bole! i left that store feeling a bit ripped off la.. by the time the baby comes, out goes the card..
(iii)
mothercare - since i started buying baby stuff in october, the gurls at mothercare alamanda kept reminding me to keep my receipts because of this offer to become a membership for those who have spent a minimum of RM500 within these next few months.
(highlighting of course that by jan 09, it will go up to RM800) and since i already been keeping receipts to see hw much i spent, i thought wht the hell, keep that at the back of my head.
few days ago , i calculated and have actually spent close to Rm495 and boi bersemangat nyer i was for my next mothercare visit.
yesterday i was in KLCC after a talk in ISIS and decided wht the hell, let's get myself out of this misery and buy something to get this freakin card.. he he he...(see the obsession ive become?)
i finally did get the card and the conditions that came with it is- im given special discounts on every item i buy, get to be first in line for special offers and cutDown items and them catalogs that will come to update me (of course to buy somemore la kan), however, this card is only valid for one year, and in order to maintain membership, i have to make sure i have an accumulated 1000 points by december 2009. ah crappp...maintaining membership ni yg i fail ni...
Even the pharmacy in bangi i usually visit to buy my monthly dosage of insulin, recently offered me a membership card after the 3rd month i walked in her store,
she's giving me a good offer for the baby thermometer and will get that in December..yeay.
anyways, membership cards have made me obsessed and left me cheated all at the same time.
and the worst, is when i shop in stores without any points/discounts anything accumulated for..akan ada satu rasa sesal.. bole!
walhal, its not like the points that i do actually accumulate will get me the things they offer in the catalog, which of course comes the next question, do i really need those things?
it will of course take me months even years and please lets not forget the deadline to achieve them blardy points. (valid for a years worth of accumulating points! WTF!)
and of course the stupid RM1 = 1 point crap..buerrrggghh.
i am officially obsessed with membership cards!
anymore membership card i should get? ( " , )
he he he
