I'm glad you mentioned this. Burda didn't exactly distinguish themselves in the recent points for Focus promotion in November or whenever, but at least there is something that replaces Leserservice.
Yesterday. I was in Kaufhof in central Cologne and many of the clients were loudly complaining about the sudden lack of Payback points, some quite angrily. It's true that they didn't exactly give a lot of notice, did they? Personally, I feel Payback is still on a bit of a downward slope. I guess VFT is the place to follow this in detail.
