My Laking National Loyalty Rewards Card

I've been loyal to National Bookstore for a while now and applying for their loyalty rewards card is something I had no regrets doing. I earn points for each purchase I make which will become e-purse to pay for my next item if I wanted. It is actually one of the many rewards card I have that I really use and I never leave my house without. 

What is "Laking National" National Bookstore Loyalty Program anyway? 

"Laking National" National Bookstore Loyalty Program works like any other rewards card in the country. You apply for the card, pay a minimum amount for membership fee (or collect receipts for free card) and present your card every time you purchase a product to a particular store or service. I personally shop at National Bookstore and I bet every Pinoy has and will always be National Bookstore junkie. It is like heaven for a self-confessed bookworm and planner addict like me. It houses almost every school and office supply you need plus other unexpected materials you didn't even know you will be in need of.

CON:

Before my Laking National Card expired last July I was able to use my points and it turned out I have around 310 e-purse wallet. I got myself the book The Room by Emma Donoghue and I only need an additional of 60pesos to avail the book. This is super cool by the way! I'm thinking of renewing my card to avail the 1000points bonus.

Final Notes from SavingsPinay

In my opinion having the Laking National Card by National Bookstore is a good idea. You can totally use the card as National Bookstore is everywhere. The membership fee is budget-friendly as well as renewal fee. Also better to get your card now or renew it because October is coming and it is National Bookstore's anniversary. You might get amazing deals!!!
