Good on them, I hate these BS loyalty schemes, and typically avoid any store that offers them.

Milk it for all it’s worth I say.

    Kiwis seem to love a gimmick.

    Countdown Lego? New World kitchenware? A myriad of power and mobile companies with “free hours” and other schemes?

    And it’s all designed to give the illusion of savings for the customer.

      I assumed all these gimmicks were based on similar things from overseas, because humans love a gimmick.

        There wasn’t much in the way of gimmicks in England. Most places seemed to be focussed on cutting expenditure via whatever exploitative or customer-negative ways so that they could shave another 10p off the price of a bag of carrots.

        But, there was actual competition so 🤷‍♂️

          Pretty sure Australia has a lot of the same stuff.

        NZ is the perfect guinea-pig market to test out gameification gimmicks before risking deploying them in a more important bigger market.
