I take a lot of pride in avoiding such things, so it hurts so much to be hit by it this time (even if the actual financial impact is only 31 cents).Quote from: vdeane on Today at 05:14:03 PMA couple money-related ones. One is the short expiration cycle for rewards points at Price Chopper/Market32/Market Bistro. The checkouts only give the option to use them when you have more than 500. You can use them before, but have to specifically request it, so I usually wait until then unless I see that some are expiring. Well, I somehow missed the thing on my receipts mentioning points expiring (either it's gotten less obvious or I got so used to hitting 500 before this happens that I've stopped checking as vigorously as I should) until I finished checking out today, and now I have a few points expiring by the end of the month with no way to use them in time.
Well, yeah, the purpose of loyalty points is not to give you stuff for free, it's to keep you coming back. Putting limitations in the way of redeeming the points keeps the program from costing them too much.
