Available for UK. Got it right now.

Tiered rewards actually make a kind of sense, but given that earned points apparently expire (after a year?) this feels more like a yearly VIP system than a standard rewards system, and those are always only for a small group of dedicated devotees with reasonably thick wallets. Like how some of my tea providers will give you rewards for spending $800 in a year.

I mean, it's doable, but.. even a die-hard tea fan such as myself can't make up that kind of expense in a year (nor do I have the finances to do such), so it's definitely oriented for those who buy for large gatherings or buy $200 per can varieties. With gaming, it's even less justifiable, since you're really just talking people who splurge on early AAA releases a dozen or more times a year, or who go in for a half-dozen high-tier 'collector' pre-releases. Regardless of how justifiable it may be to the person's state of being and preferred hobbies, that's definitely not at all an indication of the individual having healthy spending habits (assuming the person isn't just wealthy enough to brush off such a luxury expense).

At least with long-term rewards, you can work your way through things while retaining control over your spending. Though then inevitably those companies seem to randomly add in expirations and not properly notify anyone about them, even to the point where managers still actively provide incorrect information on the matter. On that note: Fuck you, Walgreens.

tl;dr version: Rather than not being a fan of those systems, those systems seem inclined towards specific niches, and really don't seem suitable for something like game sales. Within such contexts they feel less like a loyalty system, and more like a system designed to exploit a specific niche of consumers.

No biggie ,happened to me earlier this evening too.
Had to do a quick captcha.
It's one of those sites that loads a ton of crap in your browser before you can click 'sign-in'.

I just got it from Europe too.

This could be a regulatory thing, I know for our company as well (online gambling) that accounts that have been inactive for 6 months need to have the remaining balance deducted.
