Some of you who've been in other countries that have ToysRUs stores, may be familiar with the VIP clubs they've had running, that earns bonuses and access special prices of select items in stores... well, now it has finally come to Australia.

The membership is free, and you can either register on the website, or obtain a VIP card from a TRU store and activate it on their site (they just gave me one with a purchase last weekend).

Just be aware of all the conditions and privacy policy pages on their site, as you are required to give them a lot of your personal details (address, phone number) for something that doesn't need them... because they do note on their privacy policy page that they share your information with their partners, including ones that are foreign.

If that doesn't bother you, the VIP club earns you two things...
1) - access to in-store discounts of selected, noted items, and
2) - points that can be redeemed as a discount at checkout.

Number 1 is really the best thing for this promotion, as something might eventually show up as a VIP discount that you want, and you have the card ready for it.
But Number 2 is not something to rely on as a bonus, as you only get one point per dollar spent, and you only get $1 discount with each 100 points earned... but only accessible if you have more than 500 points in your account.
So that means, you only get $1 off for every $100 you spend, but you can only start claiming that discount after $500 spent.
A 1% discount wont add up to much unless you spend a lot of money at TRU stores.... which most of us don't, as they are one of the more expensive sources, so Number 1 is probably the only reason I'd recommend this promotion (in case they have something of interest on VIP discount and you need the active card on hand to get it).
