I just got a sheet of vouchers in the post from Payback, which included "10fach Punkte!" at real until 31.03.2005, and another one offering "250 Extra-Punkte!" between 01.04 and 30.04.05. There are other vouchers for, among others, dm . Are these mailings targeted at certain customers, or are they for everyone?

be careful, not many Lindner apotheken are giving payback points at this time.
why the heck isn't EXTRA a payback member yet? Extra is the smaller version of real (both Metro owned store chains), but while real is usually only good for those car owning people who do big weekend shopping at the autobahn mall, young urban professionals who maybe dont have a car but rather fly on Lufthansa and walk to the neighborhood store cannot get any points. Extra is losing so much business cause people prefer to go to Lidl, Aldi, Plus and all those ****ty cheap-o stores - even though they usually have the same prices (at least on the TIP products - there is a 50 point coupon for buying tip products when you login to your payback account .- valid until today).
People just believe they are cheaper jsut because they are discounters. There would be so many people who wouldnt even consider going to discounters if they could get more miles/points at Extra (and maybe also their private franchisers comet stores).

Metro is planning to sell off Extra asap and exit the discounter business. All the extras that make economic sense have been converted to real markets (both the extras in my county/landkreis

) If there is an extra near you, soon it will be gone or converted into a real.

urgh.. i had 3 extras in walking distance... 2 have been sold and are now comet franchised. the largest one still exists as extra. I thought they were just trying to get rid of the smaller extra stores (selling them or converting them to real Getränkecenter... ) and keep the larger ones... Well, I hope it will become Real, then...
Oh, i was especially mad, when i saw, that extra has a new "point collecting scheme" - total bull****, like for 1000 euro spent you get a set of free wine glasses...

actually there is one extra future store where payback points are given

Yes, but with some restrictions like minimum purchase (50 Euro) at real or only once during the promotion at OBI. Some companies even allow to combine this promotion with other coupons.

Pro7 payback days

okay, there was another thread about this but it was closed due to the discussion wandering towards the topic of financing German television system.
As I noticed people are even gonna sell the info on ebay for 1 cent a mile, I believe we should enter the codes for each day (26.-29th of may) here in this thread. As I read in one ebay "pay me for watching pro7" auction, you can enter the codes on www.payback.de , so no need to send sms to expensive numbers. So if we manage to get all the codes here, it would be a free 3600 (max 900 per day) points/miles for everyone (who is not too scared of GEZ, but what the heck, if they call, just tell them you got the points from flyertalk anyway and you dont have a tv...

oh, anyone knows if you can earn twice with the number and the card number of the second card, you were supposed to give to a friend/family member?

They say you have to send the SMS each time. At the end of the promotion you get an SMS from them showing how many points you have collected and a code. This is the code you have to enter at the payback homepage.

Remember: When the points show up you have only 10 minutes to send the SMS!

This is the "official german version"

:

Nach Aktionsende erhalten Sie eine SMS mit der Summe Ihrer gesammelten Punkte und Ihrem persönlichen Gewinncode. Damit holen Sie sich Ihre Punkte bis spätestens 30.06.05 ganz einfach hier auf www.payback.de ab.

AFAIK:

Two 3-digit numbers per TV program: Pro7 Payback Days TV programs

U have to send a SMS (Has to be a German provider + sender has to be in Germany!) to 77777 (max. 0,49 EUR/SMS)......At the first time, U get an acknowledgment of receipt by 77777.

Today 05/26/05:

1.) 175
2.) 125

According to payback newsletter: 900 points/miles max. per day, but today only 300 !
Four Pro7 Payback days.......max. 3.600 points/miles......but due to today...... ONLY max 3.000 possible! (900-300 = 600.....3.600-600 = 3.000)

I tried it with my second mobile phone contract, but, unfortunately, I got an error SMS from 77777!
