a purchase bonus points are added to the card
and at the end of the year gifts are given for
the points earned.

Moore super markets, Reliance fresh.

that full value of the product will be returned to
them if they are not satisfied after using the

your product or service, offer a money-back
guarantee. Give a detailed explanation of eligible
