Popular Post Pattaya57 Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 Like most, I've been getting stamps with my change at 7-eleven. I have been giving these to kids who were very happy to receive them. If no kids there I would just leave on counter. Now I find out these stamps are same as cash with a value of 1, 2 or 3 baht. Just proudly bought some free cat food with stamps 😀 7 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sigmund Posted November 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2023 Ever since I recall these stamps always had cash value. So all the more reason to ask for them as some dishonest staff at these counters do not give them out when it's a falang buying. I always watch a bit before paying and if I see others getting, I ask if I will also have. I have seen those staff in Bangkok or Hua Hin saying "no have any more" to a falang and giving out the stamps when the next customer usually Thai started to challenge. Always ask before buying as there are enough 7/11 all over. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said sometimes a get a bunch of stamps, and other times nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a scam by CP to get people to spend more at his overpriced inconvenience stores. Check out his net worth if you think I'm exaggerating. Not available for alcohol purchases so only useful if you buy other stuuf. In the rare event that I get a couple of stamps I give them to the concierge in my building, he's just a big kid and there's no street urchins in my area 😅 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a 1 baht stamp for every 50 baht excluding alcohol (and cigarettes I assume). Cashier never seems to follow that 50:1 rule closely though Edited November 3, 2023 by Pattaya57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Drake Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 It seems like they give out much more in value at the beginning of the promotion and then dwindle. I give mine to my housekeeper. I'll bet over the years they've amounted to three or four thousand baht. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the other way. Spend 220 baht, get two 1 baht stamps, sometimes 1 when it should be 4. I of course never say anything as I was giving them away anyway Edit: maybe it is every 100 baht and cashier correct? Anything I Google says 50 baht but they're all dated many years ago Edited November 3, 2023 by Pattaya57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it quite amazing that you managed to both know what the person in front of you purchased, and then hang around to watch the person after you complete their transaction. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I always (if I remember) to ask for M-stamps. They'll put it on your account by punching in your cell number and you can claim for some very cheap/cheasy prizes like coolers or beach chairs when you accumalate enough points. .... I forgo the option of stamps because I always lose or misplace them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's based on certain products you buy. It's all written there very clearly under the product on the shelf where the price is as to how many stamps you will get. If you have eyes and can see, it's all there for you to read. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anyone Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 For some of the new products they promote, they give stamps. And for other goods nothing at all. There is usually a poster hanging on the wall, from which you can understand what stamps are given for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they were giving out perfume samples to ladies and pulled back when saw you were a guy...maybe nothing to do with being a "whitey" except in your head?
