Zolomoz Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 So from what I could understand in a very rushed conversation... FUN88 1 baht spent = 1 point I need to provide my passport no and phone number every time I shop But there are still questions I have... such as how many points do I need to get before I qualify for a discount of some sort? Does anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgrahmm Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) My wife carries our card - I use a photo on my phone I took of the card & they scan it.....We're shopping there frequently and only one time was asked for a passport....Said no, and they tallied the sale..... One time we got 1000B off a fridge..... Another time my wife got some insulated drinking glasses = that we've never used..... The last time we were told our 50,000 points were going to be expired - come get something free.... My wife ordered a stainless cooking pan (not if it's been used or not) might be worth 300-400B?.... It was supposed to be here last April & they'd call when it came in = no call ever.....My wife dutifully checked in about every month.....It finally arrived in January - but they never called....

If you dont have a Big C card to be scanned they can input the number from your phone to credit you which is what a lot of Thais do. You get notification of extra discounts on the till receipt but it is all in Thai. In the past at various times the cashier has rung through the shopping and then says you have x baht of discount - for which they need to see your passport or driving licence in order to process it.

They can use a phone number to access/credit & the coupons arrive that way....It's true, you might get an extra product once in awhile for free.....

You get texts in English? Mine come in Thai so tend to get ignored........I once asked at the Cus Service desk if it could be changed maybe I will try again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think Big C has fair prices, a nice product offering and parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 4,000,000 points you can get a pencil. Pay extra for the sharpener ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly , you download the BIg C app to your phone from here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.t2p.bigc (only for android phones and remember to select English from the menu) So you can always check how many points you got. It will update itself automatic within 24 hours. And also show you the latest promotions. Edited February 15, 2019 by balo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevc Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Lots of times we go they ask us to pay for half of the shopping first then we qualify for a discount on the rest usually 100 - 200 baht.Sent from my SM-T900 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
