Thank you for a polite sensible answer.

These incidents happened about 3 years ago, I phoned using Skype to my UK bank and they said that it was the Thai end that had refused payment.

From comments by Thai sales staff I have come to understand that they do have a limit, which the staff do not know, on foreign Credit Cards. Probably breaks the Rules that the card companies set.

Were these transactions for several hundred thousand baht?

She knows how to pronounce it in English, she just can't remember what her phone number actually is unless saying it on autopilot in Thai.

Yeah, that's really likely if she's a native-English speaker!

I think I worked it out as 0.4% or something like that, a year or two ago. Decided not to bother getting a card.

So you are saying that my 23k+ points will only net me a little over 100 THB of free in store merchandise? Too friggggin funny.

No memory says one was B91K at the hospital and the other around B25K.

My UOB credit card covered both though I would have prefered to use money from my UK bank.

Funny that a person would think that those numbers could be correct.

Funny that with spending over a half million THB that they would only reward you with 100 THB of free in store merchandise....  Pretty lame or else the % that was replied is bogus... I believe the latter but won't know until I confirm with the ownership of the program (Rimping).

Have often used my U.S. bank debit card to pay at Rimping, and have never been asked for a PIN. The cashier probably was asking for your Member Card #.  If you don't have a physical member card, just give your phone number if you ever applied for a member card.  Since I can never remember my phone number, I taped it to the back of my phone.  If you don't have a member card and want one, just go to the customer service desk and apply.

The limit must be being imposed by the card issuer then.  I often charge amounts greater than that to an American issued Visa card.

Someone didn't actually check the program information.  For every 4,400 point, you get a cash voucher for 1,000B  So for 23,000 points, you would get 5,000B in cash vouchers.  Those are cash vouchers - you can use them to get anything in their stores. That's actually much better than Tops where MOST of their loyalty points are in the form of discounts on items "selected by the management.

Can you provide a link to that as I thought I had thoroughly searched their website and found nothing stating that, did I miss it somewhere?

 

TIA....

Their loyalty program is called SuperPlus.  The booklet can be downloaded from:

Hey thanks!

 

Damn, I had downloaded the catalog and even provided a link on this thread but missed that page about the gift vouchers....duhhhh

 

That sounds better than the piddly 0.4% that was replied earlier. But then again, spending over 500k THB and getting in return 5k works out to being about 1% which isn't much of a loyalty program in my opinion, especially with the markup on their products.
