Advantages: Card not too garish

Disadvantages: Whats the point?(pun intended)

Well, lets see now.
Until our local Somerfield changed into Tescos 6 months ago, I used Somerfields Premier Points card.

The deal is thus:
you get 1 penny worth of argos premier points for every 5 pounds you spend, and this rises to 1 penny in the pound (x5) if you spend over ten pounds in a single transaction.

This in itself means that if you want to make any significant savings you have to spend over 10 pounds every time, which is not always easy, rendering points transactions at the kiosk nigh on useless.

Then when you come to use the points, as is the way with all the argos schemes, you cannot redeem them at Somerfields, but instead must travel afar to spend them at argos, where you must spend all your cards` worth in one go or you lose the spare points, and they take away your card!

This means you nearly always lose some points :(

So, spare us the jtedious points Somerfield, give us something *normal* anyday!
