@mrs cabrera: point system goes like this… getting points: P100.00 = 1 point / redeeming points: 1 point = P1.00

Ex: total amount (purchased): P600.00 is equivalent to 6 points
redemption: 6 points is equivalent to P6.00

You’ll get six-peso reward for spending six hundred pesos. Good enough deal? Quite…

Hi! we live near puregold supermarket,so we get to buy our groceries from there..but their loyalty card is not available to everyone unlike SM advantage..you need to have a business to get one.Good news! SM just opened a branch one block from Puregold.

Hi! Just like you I’ve learned to love the loyalty card promos most major grocery and department stores are offering (sm advantage, shopwise, laking national, south supermarket green card, suki card, etc.). Been a member of these cards for more than 5 years na ata (before pa I got married) and been thankful of the peso earnings I got from these loyalty cards. But just want to make a comment is it really true for sm advantage na for every peso purchase of any item you get 1 point = to P1? Kasi based from my experience, it’s not true parang iba yung point system nila for grocery and department store. I was actually expecting a lot of peso earnings na (esp when I was preparing for my 1st born – Igot all major furniture items from baby and co.) but was surprised to earn only P600. Anyways was still thankful pa rin to get something. Also the insurance from SM advantage is automatically deducted from your points (a big chunk of peso is being deducted). I was working at that time at Philam so I know the real amount of the accident insurance per person. Mas mura pa bumili directly from them (so I realized may kita pa SM dun). What worked for me best is the Shopwise Card. No single peso nawawala and surprisingly very easy to earn points.

Yes Rhodilee, these cards can really entice consumers to spend more that’s why it’s important to remember to simply use these discount cards naturally, which means you don’t spend just for the sake of using it.

Even hotels have these sorts of cards na ha? Marco Polo Davao for example has this privilege card that give members complimentary night stay, free dining, etc.

These types of card actually entice consumers to spend more.
