New Electronic Loyalty Cards on the way Nationwide

Yay, finally, this is awesome! I've had mine for ages but haven't been able to use it, this means I'll never forget my loyalty card. I really prefer the electronic ones it was so exciting when I got one, it makes life so much easier than having 50 different cards like other people...

Whilst I like the electronic loyalty cards there are a few issues. I shall start with the pros :-

1. If you forget your card you can enter the code on your reciept on line when you get home.
2. You can register your card so if you loose it you cancel the card and save what you'd saved.
3. It allows you to build up multiple prizes without having to redeem them.
4. You can keep track of your Nandos prizes on line

Now for the negatives

1. You are only in theory allowed one card per person and certainly only 1 per email.
2. You have to spend £7 to get a point (a pound more!)
3. You can only get 1 point per day regardless of which store your in (seriously!!!! who only goes once in a day!!! 6 Nandos stores in 28 hours is how I roll baby!)
4. You have to log on line to see what rewards you have, no more being able to quickly check if you have something for a lunch time treat visually on the card.
5. No more special offers in store for extra points (like buy houmous and get an extra stamp).
6. No more making deals with the waitress to buy desserts if you can get an extra stamp.
7. All cards are identical so danger of getting them mixed up on the table or with less fortunate freinds if you do as Marc suggests and take your mates card to the till.
8. I can't have a set of 17 cards just in case I take a minibus of non Nandos people to Nandos and want to collect their points
9. My wallet will be very empty as I enjoy having 50 odd stamp cards in my wallet as that sets me out as a true fan unlike some cheese hateing, Ketchup scoffing Northerners that I could mention (who aren't even in triple figures yet :P)

I see that this will be the way it goes in the future as a few scum balls who steal stamps are ruining it for us all, but wish Nandos would alow us more than one point in a day and just keep the one a day limit for online reciept adders (we all know there will probably be some people who pick up reciepts outside of Nandos off the floor just to boost their points so they can get free chicken as they don't have friends to take and steal borrow points off.)

Having used the scheme in Scotland on a few occasions I will find ways of adapting when it is UK wide I'm sure. Just hope eventually it is extended globally for overseas points collection. Also even more important a LONG grace period to use up all of my 50 odd stamp cards.
