Points cards, and the one number you type

At a restaurant your card usually gives points, because the bill varies. If you are recording the meal yourself from the counter card, you type what you paid, and the venue gets to see it and refuse it.

Scan the printed card on the counter
Type what you paid, for example 24.60
Press Add it to my card
Check My card to see it arrive

A points card suits a place where the bill is different every time. The default is one euro, one point, and the venue may set its own rate, a minimum spend and a cap for a single visit.

It never rounds up. A venue should never owe more than it said it would.

When you record the meal yourself from the counter card, what you send is not a meal: it is a request to record one. The venue sees it on their screen and can say it was not them. If nobody objects, it goes on your card the next day, so a venue that never opens the screen still honours it.

You can record once a day per venue at a restaurant. That is the venue's own setting, so a place that serves you twice in a day may allow a shorter wait, and the message tells you how long rather than just refusing.

Anything over a thousand euro is refused and you are asked to have the venue scan your card instead, which is the honest way to handle a bill that size.

What it looks like A euro is a point unless the venue says otherwise. Thirty-two euro and fifty becomes thirty-two points, because it never rounds up in your favour.

Worth knowing Put in the real amount, because the venue reads what you typed on their own screen and a number that does not match their till is simply refused.
