lobo1969 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 With double VIP points in October I'm currently just over 2000. Even though I had a points membership for many years, I've never actively worried about getting them until my city finally got a LEGO store about 6 monthes ago. I've bought 90% of my LEGO at TRU sales. Has anyone let the points just rack up over a long period of time? Has anyone hit 5 figures??

@rtisan Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I`m sitting at around 2800 VIP points. Sadly they expire 2 years after you get them, which means I doubt very many (if any) have been able to reach 10000 in their account (perhaps if you count the points already spent as well). Only a small portion of what I buy is at the Lego store, and is mainly exclusive sets and PAB cups for my collection. Would be very impressive if someone had 10k (Emazers perhaps? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 OH I didn't know they have an expiry date!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I have that many lol, but I was thinking of taking a break from buying Lego... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think I only have 3 or 4 hundred right now. Got 250 or so from the double point promo. I usually cash them in right away but I like the idea of saving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Seems as though it's a waste to let them accumulate since they don't accrue any interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justafrog Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I spend them pretty much as I get them. When LEGO, working in close cooperation with the NSA, stop harassing Angela Merkel and get around to tracking my secret location here deep in an underground bunker, I don't want to lose them in the ensuing firefight and apocalypse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unfortunately Apple already knows where you are and the NSA gets all their info from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ermmm... 600.000 points. I try to spend them as I get them, since I am freaked out by the story of a "black-listed" reseller who had his VIP account wiped . Now I can barely keep $15 in points before spending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I went to the Lego store the other day and got a new guy at checkout. He was going through his rehearsed spiel about you have <blank> dollars in Lego VIP reward points.

MartinP Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have about 250 points right now, but I have spent a lot more. I do not like to save up all the points. I spend them as soon as I get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, my thinking is of all the street cred I'll gain if I can walk into the LEGO store and buy a SSD on VIP points alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have 379, it's the most I've ever had as I hardly ever buy from S@H. Like sadowsk1said there is no point in letting them accumulate. If you make a purchase from Lego and don't use any points you have your balance at the time and let them sit "until next time", then you have essentially just cost yourself money through inflation and opportunity cost.

pins79 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 If you apply enough VIP points to lower the set price to below $75, will LEGO still ship for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
