The largest chain of stores Pyaterochka made a gift to its customers and issued a bonus "Help out a card". The promotion is aimed at increasing the number of sales and attracting new customers. I received this card to find out how much you can save and what the benefits are.
"Help out the card" can be obtained at the checkout in the store. The cost of the card is 25 rubles. To get a card for free, you need to buy products worth over 555 rubles. The bonus card is issued with a booklet, which indicates how to register and how to use this card.
With a bonus card, every purchase will be cheaper. From any amount spent, you get a Cash Back, that is, they return the money in points to the "Help out the card". If the purchase has not exceeded 555 rubles, then 1 point will be credited to the card for every 20 rubles in the check. That is, for 100 rubles you will receive 5 points or 5% of the purchase.
If you spend more than 555 rubles, then for every 10 rubles in the check you will be awarded 1 point. That is, for 100 rubles - 10 points or 10% of the purchase.
The first 30 days from the date of receipt of the card Cash Back is doubled. If the purchase was up to 555 rubles, then you will be credited with 10% points from the purchase. If the expenses were in excess of 555 rubles, Pyaterochka will accrue 20% points.
The biggest Cash Back will be on your Birthday. 3 days before and 3 days after your birthday, you will be awarded 5 points for every 10 rubles spent in the check. That is, 50 points or 50% of the purchase will be awarded for 100 rubles.
Now let's calculate how much they return in rubles. The formula for converting points into rubles is very simple - 1/10. That is, 100 points are equal to 10 rubles. Thus, for a purchase for an amount less than 555 rubles, the return in rubles will be 0.5% of the check amount, and if the amount is higher than 555 rubles, you will be charged 1% of the purchase. Accordingly, 10 rubles will be returned to you from 1000 rubles.
It is most profitable to buy for your birthday. For 1000 rubles in the check, the refund will be 50% in points - this is 500 points, and in rubles 5%, that is, 50 rubles.
If you make purchases for 1000 rubles every day for a whole month, you will spend 30,000 rubles per month, then you can save 1% of this amount, that is, 300 rubles. In the first month, the savings will be 2 times more - 2% or 600 rubles. But if your purchases are up to 555 rubles, then your savings will be even less and it will not be profitable to use the card.
To spend points, you must inform about your desire to write off points before making a purchase and present your card. Points can be used to pay for the entire purchase.
The points on the card, like all products in the Pyaterochka store, have a certain expiration date. Points are valid for 12 months. If you didn't manage to spend the points, then everything that was accumulated burns out.
You can find out how many points you have accumulated on the website www.5ka.ru in your personal account. You can also see the balance in the check upon purchase.
Conclusion
The greatest benefit can be obtained only on your birthday, the savings will be 5% of the purchase. On other days, the savings are not significant and amount to 0.5% or 1% of the purchase. I recommend getting the "help out the card" for those who constantly buy at Pyaterochka. If you are a rare guest of Pyaterochka, then you should not receive this card to save money.
