(Click here for Frequently Asked Questions)
Frequent Buyer Programme is being withheld for the time being with effect from 1st October 2001. However, points earned upto 30th September 2001 can be redeemed. 
Some people call such schemes "Loyalty Points Scheme". Obviously they mean customer's loyalty to a shopping site or mall! We call it Frequent Buyer Programme. It is our loyalty towards our customers that has spurred us into starting this programme. This is a Programme under which you keep accumulating points with every purchase and at time of your choice, you redeem the points by exchanging them with items on the List of FBP Items.
