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.

Exactly, the amount of effort people will go to to save a buck is ridiculous. There's a power company that lets you buy power in advance, with all these discounts. It's been explained to me a few times, and always seems like far more trouble than it's worth. Same with AA smartfuel etc.

Some people really need to think about how much their time is worth.

The worst is when people queue up at petrol stations for hours to save a couple of dollars... Like, why not ride a bike or walk or something instead of driving if you've got that much time to spare...

Yup. Exactly. The queue at Gull often extends down the road.
