Couples arguing over who shall get the supermarket points on their cards!-

The divorce papers are about to be signed, husband and wife have succeeded in dividing up their property, their cash and even their pensions.

But then comes the issue of who is going to get the Tesco Clubcard points and who will keep the Air Miles – and it’s back to the lawyers.

Divorces are increasingly being delayed by couples rowing over supermarket and airline loyalty points as the recession continues to bite, family law firm Pannone says.
Partner Ed Kitchen said arguments about how to split loyalty points are often ‘deal-breakers’, causing friction between couples who have succeeded in reaching a settlement over their finances with relative ease.
‘Establishing a fair divorce settlement involves calculating what someone will lose out on as a result of not being married,’ Mr Kitchen added.

‘Traditionally, that has meant considering things like pensions or health insurance. Now, though, people realise the value of points accrued through loyalty schemes.’

He went on: ‘When you consider that it can cost several thousand pounds a year to pay for the family holidays and even discounted groceries that these schemes provide, it is perhaps no wonder that separating spouses are demanding either the points themselves or money in lieu of the points.’
Pannone said recent statistics have suggested there are more than 30m Nectar or Tesco Clubcard members in the UK while more than 120m people worldwide are thought to be part of frequent flyer programmes operated by leading airlines.
Superdrug has also recently jumped on the bandwagon with customers able to pick up the Beautycard in store.
Cardholders can earn one point for every £1 spent. The card's unique selling point is that it has a mirror on it and the store hopes it will encourage people to carry carry it in their wallet.

Boots currently has one of the most generous loyalty card schemes with cardholders receiving four points for every pound spent. Each point is worth 1p so if you spend £20 you will earn 80 points, worth 80p.

Tesco Clubcard holders get two points for every £1 and 100 points is worth £1 in reward vouchers.

Sainsbury's nectar card gives you 2 points for every pound although some retailers offer double points for spending. Points are worth an average of 0.5p.

Holidays not holiday. The english school system has 6 half terms instead of 3 full terms so many families have several mini breaks.
Quite frankly this isn't about the points, its about ****in up the other person as much as possible. Such sad people
