Behind the PRESTIGE CARD
My recent skepticism on celebrating Christmas froze for a while. There were a few domestic trifles arising ironically amidst the season of giving as they so-called branded it.It can be forgotten but this aunt has an attitude of spoiling the momentum somewhere.And so my entangled mind, push this thought away to simply allow a little cheer peek through my bitter pill. My sister wanted to spend time with my parents whom we only get to see during Holidays or when they visit us here in Manila once in a while so she wanted all of us to eat in a restaurant. I was excited too. I get to laugh the way we used to do while talking about our childhood idiosyncrasies that we have outgrown as time passed by. We surprised her by giving her a nosegay of sweet smelling wild (?) i forgot….Her eyes glowed in joy and my paranoia of being old doubled. I totally forgot my problems at this point. We ate happily.
Since the kids havent completed buying their stuffs yet, we have to stand the last minute shoppers jostling and smiling at the same time. At the back of my mind, it will take us hours waiting on the line at the fitting room, at the cashier, or even waiting for your right size.I said fine! But on the contrary we did it smoothly because of this silver Prestige Card that has been sleeping on my wallet. Being a cardholder you are entitled to an exclusive fitting room, counters,gift wrapping section, while non cardholders had to wait.This loyalty program from SM made me contented at least.How to have it….just shop til you drop. =)
