This marketing strategy never gets old...
I still remember the first few stamp redemption bonanza held by a department store... 
Items ranging from towels to cookware, porcelain/ chinaware to wine glasses...Recently Giant Hypermarket had their stamp cookware redemption. For every RM20 (USD 5.70 approx) spent you will gain a stamp. With the stamps you could purchase an imported pot/ pan from Italy for a fraction of the price.
But don't be too excited yet, because the minimum stamps required range from 90- 200 stamps!! 
Yup, if you do the maths you'd realise that you've spent RM1800 (USD 514 approx) at their store already...
And you would still have to pay for the pot/ pan!! 
But that's less than RM10. (USD 2.85)Nevertheless, we managed to collect the stamps only to find out that all the cookware was redeemed/ snapped up.
And who says that Malaysians aren't a gullible bunch??
thats the way the story goes! First your money then your clothes! (My Mom always said that about crooks)
