Most I've ever had was a voucher for £24! :-)

Well I've just checked my points balance and I have 4144 points, so thats £10.

Still, not a gigantic saving. But 10 pound no less.

Oops, my bad. They are also changing points given in the rewards scheme - can't remember the exact details.

I was going by the old system.

On the Game site it says 1000 points = £2.50!

Nope, 2000... but don't get too excited - it's only worth £2. But still, they no doubt have many loyalty scheme members, and £2 a person will work out to quite a bit.

I usually shop at Special Reserve's Egham branch.

The nearest EB is in Staines, a 50 minute walk, while the egham SR is a 5-6 minute walk from my house.

It'll have to be Game now whether you like it or not.

Game are owned by EB, but I had a letter from them recently stating that research had shown that - basically - people prefer the name Game.

Consequently, all EB stores are now being re-branded to Game.

Oh, and if you have a loyalty card, you'll get the same letter, and a nice new design loyalty card. If you had both Game and EB loyalty cards, all of your points will be combined, and they're giving you an extra 2000 points.

Eletronics Boutique. But now they are the same thing, shouldn't make any difference.

Game, but only for the loyalty points and only if I can't wait for it in the mail.

The again, they are the same company, and have essentially the same prices (except in EB they give you less for trade-ins)
