My old understanding was that for every purchase with real monies of $5 or more would get me one stamp filled and I could work towards the next tier at $5 increments as I pleased and get something for being loyal.

My understanding now of the system is that for every purchase, no matter the amount, I will get one LP and have to essentially spend anywhere between $80 and $120 at any given time to get one item I want from the card when the old cards took about that amount to fill in completely. I do not have that kind of disposable income, $5 on here is sometimes a stretch and $20 is a definite splurge.

Can someone enlighten me on this?

For each stamp you will earn Loyalty Points (LP) in ascending value to spend in the loyalty shop - stamp 1 is 1 point, stamp 2 is 2 points and so forth. Completing a card awards you 5 bonus LP, bringing the total for completing a card to 60LP. That's directly from the new layout. So it would seem when you get to stamp 2 you actually have 3 points

Oh! So they still stack then?

@ Arno You get a stamp for every $10 you spend, its been like that for every card. The way it works now is that every stamp you get, you receive points, Stamp 1 is 1 point, stamp 2 is 2 points, stamp 3 is 3 points, etc. Then on the 10th stamp you get bonus 5 points. The 55 points you get from spending $100 is enough to buy every item from the new card (55 points) plus have the bonus 5 points for the next card. [edit] Oops, too late. ^^;

I'm getting it now though I'm still wondering why I was getting the smaller stamps that didn't lead to the loyalty items if it was for every $10 and not the $5 at a time I was spending. XD

I'm having a very blond day...

Rather, it seemed I was getting it every $5. Could very well have been every $10. (I miss being able to use brackets in my forum posts at work.)

I think you still fill the stamps at the same increments, it's just that instead of an item reward at certain stamps, you get an LP reward at every stamp which you can use to choose which items you want at the loyalty shop. The LP reward at each stamp gets higher as you fill more of them on the cards until you fill the last one (the total amount of LP you get from the card should be enough to buy one full set of the cards items from the LP shop). I hope that makes a bit more sense?

Edit: Seems I was ninja'd ;P I should have checked before posting XD

You get stamps for every $10, but the loyalty items were only for every $20 spent I think. ^^

It does, actually. Thank you.

Oh, derp. XD

LOL way too late

Oh! Okay. XD You completely answered my question. I get it now.
