Advantages: save for buying normal products

Disadvantages: not huge savings

After examining the details in a little depth it bares down to you receiving a 10% discount on use of the WH Smiths Clubcard. You are only awarded points if your purchase is over the value of £1. If it is, you will be given 1 point for every 10 pence you spend. With many items costing several pounds, i.e. books, videos and music then this can soon tot up your points. Also, from time to time products will carry large amounts of bonus points - I have seen products carry up to 2000 extra points.

The plus side of this is that WH Smiths sell greetings cards and Newspapers/Magazines. If you buy special interest magazines on a regular basis think of how quickly the points will build.

Registering for a crd is very quick and simple. You simply fill in the form, peel off the card and then give it to a cahsier, they will then do the final bits and you are free to use your card, and start to save.

You can redeem points, any number that you desire, at any stage, assuming of course that you have them. They can be as part or whole payment for the goods.

I think you should add how much points are worth. Unless it's significant, I don't think I'll be patronising W H Smith 'cause it's easier to pick up papers etc from the supermarket when you're doing your shopping.

It's not 1 point = 1 penny.
It's 5 points = 1 penny.
A 2% Cashback scheme.
Still better than most supermarkets, but not as good as Boots.

You can also gain points with your card shopping at www.whsmithsonline.co.uk - which has to be one of the slowest shopping sites out there. Good prices though.
