  • Dell bonus points

    From David@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 6 12:14:18 2024
    I was given some bonus points when I recently bought a Dell laptop.

    Apparently they are only good for 6 months.

    So a bit like air miles but even less useful.

    Cheers

    Surely you don't expect them to realise that having just bought a new
    laptop, you're unlikely to buy another one for several years?

    Put them towards a second PSU? I guess their real purpose is to be
    harvested by corporate buyers to spend on their own kit...

    USB C PSU so nothing special.

    Checked and there is just over £15 in value, and is valid for 4 months
    from the purchase.

    I can convert into Dell money but I'm not sure how that helps.

    Udders and bulls spring to mind.

    Cheers
