I know, didn't realize how much I spend in HMV! Don't know the chances of me reaching the 50000 points would be amazing to go though!

i'm going to try to reach the 50000 points Need to get in touch with HMV as I read in the T&C's that if the points aren't used in two years they get wiped!

That's dreadful. Incentivising customers to spend more at HMV, then wiping the points that they didn't spend on mostly trash...

Says the man with 50,000 points...

I know need to find out how long i've had my points card don't want it to get wiped! Also when I was looking at the Manics signed stuff thats more point than the sound check which doesn't make sense at all!

That is strange! Haha.

Maybe you could do some early Christmas shopping? Surely that'd rack up some points...

See, if Fopp or Amazon ran an offer like that I'd be all over it.
HMV is expensive and shit.

they wipe the points after two years? So you can't build them up then. They're forcing you to buy all your music and dvds through hmv then. I know it's a loyalty card but other stores don't do that
