The stamps they give you at the 7-11

[Hal65]

Are those actual postage stamps (similar to the 1c stamps in the USA) or something else? I keep getting them after every transaction at 7-11.

They are discount stamps, my wife saves them, and last week she bought something and exchanged around 40 of them for a 20 THB discount on that.

[Gsxrnz]

DOH!!

Actually, I'm using mine to wallpaper my lounge.

At the present rate of progress I figure I have to spend about another 15,000,000 Baht to finish the job.

OP, no, no, don't try to post a letter with these stamps, you will be waiting for a loooooong time for it to arrive to it's destination.

[CharlieH]

If you put those on a letter, chances are the post guy would rip them off, literally !

[eeeya]

i know a lady who collects them and has exchanged them for cheap plastic furniture and household goods.

anyone know where the catalogue is online?

"similar to the 1c stamps in the USA"

Whew...some mother do have em

There was some poster not long back claiming he had enough evidence of stamps being withheld to bring a Class Action. He hadn't specified how much of a retainer his Thai lawyer requested for this idiocy.

I simply leave the bloody things on the counter. Personally, I would prefer prices reduced than some crap from a catalogue

Let me guess ...... Euhhm you order the stuff you want from the catalogue in a 7/11 ?

[harrry]

Actually the usual thing is to exchange a book full of them for a small item they have as the monthly promotion. Something like a glass or a drinking bottle with doremon.

We got an excellent umbrella last year as well as a small suitcase. Quality OK. The kids love this stuff

Big waste of time. Wife once collected these things up for months. Finally had enough for like a book full, went ahead and placed order at 7, sorry that will take 6 months. Ok what about this item? sorry that will take 6 months etc etc. In the bin! It's all to get you buying more sugar and E numbers for more stamps. In the end you get like 20 baht off, or end up with a worthless piece of plastic sh.it all the way from China. Do yourselves a favour, leave the things on the counter or say mai pen rai.

[guru]

I just use the stamps the next time I go in to 7-11 to get money off items in the store. Some things such as medicine not included in the scheme.

[TacoGuy]

They are loyalty points. I think you need to spend a minimum of 50B on certain products and you get 7B stamps. They can be used as cash as well as items in the mini booklet. And some clerks do seem "share" the stamps between you and them.

[Felixthecat]

Keep them for yourself or give them to a TG(s)...they collect them to earn product discount's. "The Big C'' shopping malls have something similar as well.

Will all due respect I've seen the end result on many ocassions and have never seen what you've said happen.After the amout for the desired gift selection has been reached, there's been no more than 2-weeks passed by to collect the prize after submitting the completed coupon cards.

[matimati]

Splendid, yet another handbag that looks like all the handbags bought by 7/11 stampers...

[Eaglekott]

You can use them as money at 7-11

1Baht stamp = 1 Baht and the same with 3 baht stamp.

Last time i payed with only stamps, I had a lot and did not know what they were used for

But just one day they will not be valid again, And net time, new stamps.

Use them to pay every time you visit 7-11 instead.

With so many people receiving these stamps but never using them (me included) I am wondering whether there is a charity we can send them to. Anyone know?

I seem to remember that we used to send our Green Shield stamps to Dr Barnados (childrens charity) in the UK.

[and we sent our milk bottle tops to Blue Peter to buy guide dogs for the blind or lifeboats]

[Jdietz]

You can use them for:

- Direct discount for most articles at 7-11

- Special promotional items

- Most 7-11s have a sheet near the door you can paste them on for charity (they'll go to the overprivileged)

We got an umbrella, too.

[WhamBam]

Give them to some sexy lady in the queue behind you. You never know, maybe she will love you long time for your generosity. On the other hand she might slap you for being a cheapskate

[balo]

Any difference between the 3 stamps and 1 stamps ? They give you a bunch of both .
