My Very Own Esprit Card

I got my own Esprit card last week by buying three items that added up to more than $150. It seemed like a walk down to my past, when i was unable to buy such expensive items since i am just a poor student (or more like i am not willing to spend the money on mere clothes). Still remember that i was so happy when i bought my first and only top at Esprit during sec school, which made me $50 poorer. Haiz.. So now that i had the ability to buy these items, i became a bit siaoz.. Cos the clothes i bought probably can be bought in local stores at half the price if they do not come with the brand name. heehee..

Anyway, I realised that the card is valid for only one year, and I need to spend $600 within this 12nths to renew the card automatically. I dont know whether the marketing person is smart or just plain damn. Instead of spending $600, i can just spend $150 to get a new card, right? Or is that one of the scheme to ensure we at least buy something in the coming months? I predict that by requiring me to keep doing this, it will only results in a loss of interest in this brand for me. Well, let's see what will happen in the next 12 mths. I do know one good thing is that i will enjoy 20% on my birthday month, November.. Want to borrow my card, just let me know :p
