I was thinking if i should get this membership. Its a privilege membership for Bugis arcade. In a nutshell, can get free extra tokens as you accumulate points in this membership card. Hardcore arcade goers must really get this membership. But i'm just a weekly small spender whom spend less than $4 a week, so i'm really contemplating.
How it works: First pay $10 to get the membership card, with $5 worth of tokens inside. The gripe is this card is only valid for one year! zzz. There's a renewal charge of $10.
The privileges that i can enjoy:
$5 for 10 tokens,
$10 for 12 tokens (FREE extra 2 tokens),
$20 for 16 tokens (FREE extra 6 tokens).
The accumulation part is not really fantastic. Accumulate at least $90 then FREE extra 10 tokens zzz.
A simple calculation will shows if it is worth applying for:
Membership application $10 = 10 tokens (lose out 10 tokens) **$10 normally can change 20 tokens.
top up $20 = 46 tokens (free 6 tokens)
top up $20 = 46 tokens (free 6 tokens)
Total spent: $50 (at this time 1 would have offset the 10 tokens lost initially, with 2 extra tokens)
If continue on this formula,
top up $20 = 46 tokens (free 6 tokens)
top up $20 = 46 tokens (free 6 tokens)
top up $20 = 46 tokens (free 6 tokens)
Total spent: = $110 (entitled for 10 FREE tokens for accumulate 200V points.
Total free tokens = 2+6+6+6+10 = 30 tokens.
$110 to be spend within one year means i have to spend $9.50 per month, or $2.50 weekly and get FREE extra 30 tokens. So i can conclude that for a small spender like me, this membership is feasible. |
