I came across perhaps the single most ridiculous piece of failed marketing this weekend at the local bowling alley in Augusta ME...
We've been bowling there for around 18 months and they have a reward card scheme. Considering how poor the 'perks' are for league bowlers it's a welcome addition. However, I was told this weekend that I cannot add purchases for my wife (in this case lineage in the recent tournament) to my card, despite me being the one paying for it.
It seems a small thing but it really annoyed as it's such s stupid, petty rule. They also allow food in the restaurant to be added to the card so do I now have to ask to be billed for half a pizza as my wife will be eating the other half and I want my points?
Considering this is the only perk league bowlers get other than a small discount on practice games you'd thing a little flexibility and common sense would be a good idea? That and it's the only rewards points scheme I've ever come across with that particular restriction and there are many of them these days.
As I say it probably annoyed me more than it should have but I hate pettiness and this IMHO is very petty.
/end of rant
