Points at Specs work based on the pre-tax value of the items purchased, taking into account both the dollars and cents spent. The point values are rounded up to the nearest whole number. This means that even if the amount spent is just a few cents over a whole number, it will be rounded up to the next whole number to determine the points earned.
For example, let's say you purchase a bottle of wine that costs $14.99 before taxes. The point value for this purchase would be 15 points, as it is rounded up from 14.99. Similarly, if you purchase a beer that costs $2.50, you would earn 3 points, as it is rounded up from 2.50.
It is important to note that the point values are based on the pre-tax amount, meaning any discounts or promotions applied to the purchase are taken into consideration. So if you have a coupon or take advantage of a sale, the point value will be calculated based on the discounted amount.
To illustrate this, let's say you purchase a bottle of wine that originally costs $20, but there is a 10% discount applied. The discounted price would be $18, and the point value would be calculated based on this amount, rounding up to 18 points.
Furthermore, it's worth mentioning that point values are earned on all eligible purchases, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as any accompanying food or merchandise. So whether you're buying a bottle of wine, a six-pack of beer, or even a wine opener, the point value will be calculated based on the pre-tax amount spent on all these items combined.
In my personal experience, I have found the points system at Specs to be quite rewarding. As a sommelier and brewer, I often find myself exploring various beverages, trying new wines and beers, and stocking up on essential tools and accessories for my craft. The ability to earn points on all these purchases adds an extra incentive to shop at Specs.
Not only do I get to enjoy the products I love, but I also accumulate points that can be redeemed for future purchases. It's like a little bonus for indulging in my passion. Plus, the rounding up of point values ensures that even small purchases contribute to earning points, which is a nice touch.
