they wipe the points after two years? So you can't build them up then. They're forcing you to buy all your music and dvds through hmv then. I know it's a loyalty card but other stores don't do that

I've got 19000 points on mine. I didn't realise they get wiped after 2 years.

I keep forgetting about my points card. Checking now, I almost have 20,000. Have some receipts I can validate (but it's not working).

HMV's online store is pretty decent I think - their prices are usually the same as most other sites, and they are the fastest for free delivery, so I use them sometimes.

You can only validate 1 receipt every 24 hours, which is...helpful...

I liked HMV when they used to sell records, but now they just seem to sell headphones and T-shirts in their shops.

its awful.. you have to look for the music now. The oxford circus one should still look like a music shop but the smaller ones are just depressing

Must be a restriction based on all the submissions they get every day...

I've tried both of the valid ones that I've got and neither works. I'll have to go into a store soon and see if they'll do it there (expecting that they'll say "can't do that here, sorry").

The record store in Piccadilly is an HMV, right?
I once went there to buy the latest R.E.M. single, and the guy who worked there couldn't understand what I was looking for.
Whoa, I didn't think my English was so poor!
