Conad 'Punti' Alert!

When shopping at Conad this morning they informed me that any points accumulated on their 'Carta Insieme' must be redeemed before 20 June - otherwise they are all lost.     

As we have almost 8000 punti this is not not be ignored!  Should we go for (030) the Braun 'Multiquick MR570 Patisserie' at 6750 punti + €40 or (032) the 'Macchina da gelato "Creamy"' at 7750 punti + €78?  Decisions, decisions!   

What happens next is quite interesting (if you shop at Conad).  Basically:
3 June - 31 August: €1 spent = 1 bonus.  200 bonuses = €5 discount (but see below!)
3-14 September: You can now convert your 200 bonuses into €5 vouchers
15 September - 12 October: You can now use your €5 vouchers (1 if you spend €25 and 2 if you spend €68). 
But if you haven't spent your €5 vouchers by 12 October - they're lost for ever.   

This certainly seems to me to be a scheme to benefit the locals at the expenses of those of us who are not resident 100% of the time.

Ghiro, I have the Braun Minipimer Patisserie and I could not live without it. Very versatile and a great help in the kitchen. The gelato machine sounds great, but.... are you going to use it regularly? I have an entire cupboard full of appliances that I never use!
I think that I must get one of those Conad cards...

We've just ordered a new set of bed linen and Bed Spread from the catalogue, and left with 28 points result. Over the years we've had loads of good stuff from Conad/LeClerc, Kitchen scales, glasses, Bed Linen, Kids toys, Espresso machine. The points soon mount up if you shop there regularly.

You are right, I keep on saying next time, next time... Procrastrination at its best!
