Sept 24 - 26, 2010: The Big Outlet Sale (Again)
Sunday, September 12, 2010I went to the Big Outlet Sale last April and was able to score my 3rd pair of Melissas. Apparently, the sale is happening yet again this September. Is it just me or does the Big Outlet Sale seems to come more often than I’d like? I dunno. I think that when BIG sales come so often, it doesn’t feel that special. Also, I don’t get a lot of jaw dropping steals.
I’m reading the mechanics; select merchants offer 5% when you use your BPI credit card. You also earn 1 raffle ticket for every P1,000 purchase. Based on my experience last year, both items weren’t proliferated. I didn’t even know select merchants gave additional discount! On a whim, I asked my merchant if they offered additional discounts or anything special for BPI cardholders but there wasn’t any. When I paid my shoes, they didn’t even inform me there was a raffle and I was eligible. Tsktsk....
For BPI, I suggest putting stickers or posters on the SELECT merchants where shoppers can avail of the additional discount. It will make your cardholders feel special. Frankly when I was there, the only “perk” I got was the free entrance and that didn’t make me feel any special.
