bonuslink points

I hardly know anyone who doesn't have a bonuslink card (for the uninitiated, it's a system where you collect points from your purchases and redeem it later for gifts).

Some people go all out to accumulate points to get those nice big gifts (and along the way play into the hands of the purpose of the whole scheme). Some are really nice, and get those gifts for family or friends. If you're like me, it's more of a convenience thing. "oh, i'm pumping petrol at Shell, ok la, swipe la my bonuslink card...."

I'm proud to announce that over a period of 3 years, I have accumulated 5936 points. What an amazing effort. I feel a real sense of achievement. Clap clap clap.....

My girlfriend promptly pointed out to me in my latest bonuslink points summary that I have points expiring within the next few months or so (yes, there is a time limit to the points we accumulate). After much coaxing, I decided, ok maybe i should go redeem something with my points, otherwise go to waste.

There's a 12" table fan, or a sandwich maker, or there's even a badminton racquet for redemption. A nice wallet for dad maybe. There's a nice watch I could get for mum for Christmas, if only she wore watches. The search goes on. Sigh....resources are scarce, wants are unlimited.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Signing off another pointless rambling.
