redeeming puntos at Soriana?

by Casa Juan @, Wednesday, March 06, 2019, 16:41 (2809 days ago)

was wondering if anyone has any experience in redeeming those puntos that appear at the bottom of receipts? My appear to expire in 6 weeks and I have a bunch I would like to use before I lose them

Do the puntos have any cash value or can you simply present them at the cash register in lieu of pesos?
Gracias.

We weren't aware of any expiration date. We apply them periodically to our grocery purchase. Just ask the cashier to use the points. That simple.

Yes, almost that easy. Periodically there are expiration dates. Recently they had a glitch that messed up birthdates on the cards. The cashier told us how to deal with it-use 99p each time, then they just scan the card and it's like free money!

Actual impact of redeeming puntos at Soriana

OK I went into Sorianna today proudly clutching my receipt with 1260 puntos. It turns out they were only worth $100 pesos off my $1426 pesos grocery bill. Not exactly a worthwhile endeavor. Reminded me of "green stamps" 60 years ago in the US when you were given stamps to save in a book when you purchased gasoline to redeem for electric toasters etc. I am not in the US enough to benefit from Kroger's reward system, but routinely I received $40 USD per quarter. But this ain't Kansas

We try to think of it as "money for nothing."

We shop there weekly when the maid and gardener are at the house. We buy the few things that we don't/can't purchase elsewhere.

You still "saved" upwards of 5 bucks..... Treats for Jack!!
