There is one supermarket I shop at where you earn 10 points (called greenpoints) for every dollar you spend. And then you can redeem those points to save on some things.
I was looking for juice to buy and saw pink cranberry juice on sale for $2.99 as opposed to its regular price of $3.99. But then there was also a promo that for 300 greenpoints I can get this juice for $1.49. That's a great deal. And I have way more than 300 of them on my account so I could redeem with no issues.
I assumed that I would automatically be deducted the 300 greenpoints and would be charged $1.49 for the juice. I was wrong. And I only realized that when I left the store and looked at my receipt where the price for the juice was $2.99. If I was alone I'd have gone back to the store and to customer service to get this resolved. But I was with hubby, so didn't do that.
Lesson learned! If I wanna redeem my greenpoints I should always tell the cashier. But I wonder why it doesn't pop up on their screen that the item has a greenpoints deal and then prompt the cashier to let me know and ask if I wanna use it.

Sometimes, things just don't work as they should unfortunately.

At our store we earn Fuelperks which you can earn toward fuel or groceries; and you always have to designate that you want to use the points.

But why don't they let you know about it, if there is a deal? That is not right. If I had not seen that sign on the juice shelf or overlooked it I wouldn't have known to ask about it.

@lovebuglena I don't know. Are you going back to the store to rectify it?

@LindaOHio Nope. I live in Staten Island. The store is in Brooklyn. Makes no sense. And I don't know if that deal is still in existence.

I think we are supposed to let them know. I have a membership with gamestop and regal crown. Whenever i want to redeem i let them know.

I have regal crown as well. Now if you have enough points it seems you first have to transfer it to your account and then you go to the person and redeem. I wonder if the points expire. I had enough for a movie ticket last year but never used it.

It's a points system in one of our supermarkets here. You earn 10 green points/per dollar and then can redeem them for stuff. Sometimes you may get something at a bigger discount or even for free with these points.
