To find Asda rewards annoying

[girlfriend44]

Asda has a new rewards app! I wont be downloading but

When you go round the store you might see a price say on a tub of roses or celebrations for £1. Thats the price you pay if you have a reward not the normal price.

You have to look really hard to see what the normal price is and they are all over the store. At first glance you will think the tub is a pound, you know it cant be but its prominent and makes you think its a pound. So you have to search out the normal price!

Wish they would stop all these reward apps too its very discriminatory to people who dont have apps and who still spend money.

Sainsburys is best where you have a card if you want to join a loyalty scheme and fair to all.

I think it is discriminatory as I spend about £500 a month (at the moment anyway) in Asda but I don't have a smart phone so I have to miss out. Just offer a card to those that want them.
On a side note Coop loyalty scheme is good and they have both an app and a card.

You can pick up a cheap smart phone for the same price as a bigger purse to hold all the extra cards. Given the saving people have posted, with your spend then it will pay for its self in the first week. Discrimination is rather a stretch

@girlfriend44

not really, its still confusing to have all different prices everywhere in the shop.

Are you confusing Asda with Tesco? There aren't different prices everywhere?

Even with the new rewards app every item in Asda only has one price on it, unlike in Tesco when items can have multiple prices depending on whether you have a clubcard or not.

The only "extra" labels with different numerical values are on the star products, and even then 90% are literally just the green/yellow star that highlights and advises you it is a star product and what reward that individual item earns (10% /£X etc) and the other 10% are the big hanging ones someone else has already posted where it says something like "Buy X item for £Y and get £Z in your cashpot!" If you don't have/want the rewards app just ignore the yellow star POS as it's irrelevant to you.

If you can't tell the difference between a regular white rectangular shelf edge price label and the massive promo posters/hanging signs saying "Buy A for £B and get £C in your cashpot" then that is your comprehension issue.

@Cherrysherbet

If you save your rewards, then change into vouchers from 2nd December -24th December you get 10% more ( Christmas boost)

Brilliant

You haven’t understood Asda Rewards.

You don’t understand what a loyalty scheme is.

You don’t anyone to benefit from rewards schemes because elderly.

All round fail, OP.

Pays yer money & takes yer choice, I guess, re supermarkets.. Tesco works for me, I stick with them.

'not having a smart phone' isn't exactly a protected characteristic

@GinaTribbiani

I asked at the till if I can build up all my points for Christmas and I was told no. It was explained the app went live in august so I have 6 months to use the amount and convert to a voucher, then I have 30 days to spend the voucher. It's a shame as I would have definitely built up for Christmas food shop for the years worth of shopping, at least I can do 6 months though!

August to Dec is less than 6 months

@Morph22010

August to Dec is less than 6 months

Think they meant they wanted to use a full year's points at Christmas I.e. from next January until December. You wouldn't be able to do this as the cash pot would expire before that

[liveforsummer]

Thanks to this thread I've now downloaded the Asda rewards app. I shop across a range of supermarkets so handy to have one for each even though it means smaller savings at any one store. One question- can you use it on fuel? The nectar app makes it clear you have to go in to shop as you obviously can't use your phone at the pump bit Asda has no shop pay option.

[sweeneytoddsrazor]

@liveforsummer

No you can't use it for fuel, or items from a petrol station shop, lottery, stamps, gift cards or infant formula

[liveforsummer]

Ah that's annoying re the fuel

[Sh05]

I think it's great, I don't buy anything different than I normally would. Just my normal shop and my rewards just keep adding up. Its tempting to buy the specials which earn you more but it would mean I'm spending more to earn more which obviously doesn't make sense
It's even better than boots I think because you need to have the total amounts of points to purchase something whereas in Asda you can just redeem your cashpot whenever you want.

I love the asda rewards app I scan the barcode every time
been doing it since may June and have £52 in my cash pot
ee are saving for our December shop so it can go towards nice booze and chocolates :)

[PurpleFlower1983]

You’ve misunderstood how it works, it’s a actually a really good app, I’ve already had about £50 back (we were a trial area).

Aah some stores must have been going longeron this, ours only started in august, was wondering how people had amassed so much in their cash pots in a few weeks

[Willbe2under2]

@Morph22010 it's only been nationwide for a few weeks but they were trialling it in some places before that 😊

I've done a ahop today and got £1.50 already.

My nan was 91 when she died this year. She had every app going. She'd have loved this ageist, discriminatory reward scheme 🤣

My great uncle died a few weeks ago and we're sorting out his house ... He had an iPad, a MacBook, a laptop, 5(!) different smartphones all with different numbers/apps downloaded and a desktop PC ... At 89 he had a better grasp on technology than me!

The vast majority of customers with Lidl plus that I served were older people.

My Dad (78 years old) has been an early adopter of all sorts of tech for years. He's helped me set up more phones and laptops than I can count!

I hate this idea that older people are incapable of using any kind of technology, it's so patronising. They are the generation who invented most of it.

I think you need to move with the times. People are so stuck in their ways that they are closed off to even learning how to use a simple app (not just Asda). If you don't want cash back earned through your shopping then that's really your own loss but don't make silly complaints about it.

[Culldesack]

Not this again. No matter how many times this thread is started, there still remains no issue. You either do or don't want to save money on certain items. Whatever else follows, through joining a scheme, is negligible.

Soon your data will be more valuable than what you are actually buying

I noticed though you only get cashback on branded items? The first time it was kellogs cereal then branded sweets I go on there to buy fruit and some gluten free bits I got nothing in return 😅

No you don't? But if you don't buy anything that is currently on the list then you don't get cashback for it and so far I haven't seen much produce on the lists.

There's plenty of Asdas own brand products in the "star products" list, what products they are change on a regular basis. You can see what is currently in the offer by going into the "Earn" tab and then the star products list and it tells you everything that currently earns cash back
