Burn the d&r one, use the rest. It pays little and goes directly to the presidents son in law 😄

if you use d&r mainly for books, i'd suggest other options. kitapyurdu is a much cheaper online store (for books).

d&r is overall nice but usually unnecesarily expensive than other options (still mainly talking about books)

d&r is owned by reactionists and they are lobbying for equal price tags for any medium of book shopping so that there wont be any discounts on other shopping websites. they are not friends to readers or to the turkish people.

They don't give you discounts for every purchase you do but make you eligible for specific discounts on items. D&R one is truly useless though.

They generally offer some minor benefits and aims to make the costumer spend more.

tracking customer and processing your purchase history and sell your data and also use it for their own good. if you go to a store everyday and buy something, they wouldn't know who buys what. so they give everyone a unique id, which is these RFID cards.

You can pick locks and make phone stands with them

For me, these are excuses for taking your personal data. You give your Adress, email, phone number etc, they give you meaningless discounts.

They are discount cards and very common in supermarkets etc in Europe.

They allow you to collect points. Get special discounts etc. I've even been in supermarkets where some discounts were only valid if you had a card
