This is a bit naughty!!

I have just logged into my Arrow account to see what my current points / credits were. From memory, last time I looked I had around £40 which I was going to use to treat myself to the 'Grudge' set for Christmas

However, it now says "Your points - 180". This equates to nothing because it states "£5.00 credit - Requires 500 points - You need 320 more points"

Looking a bit deeper in the FAQ's, I have just seen a note from them stating: "Your points expiry 365 days after being added to your account so please make sure you remember to convert them into credit within that time."

So... if you *think* you have been saving your Arrow Points in order to get something special when it is announced, check your total in case of disappointment!!

I read the Sisters Brothers book a few years ago. Really good western haven’t seen the film. John C Reilly is always great though!

Man, that sucks.

I had about £12-worth of points left sitting there, waiting to ease the pain of ordering some big box-set some day... but no more.

Not a huge loss or anything, but just one more bit of low level nastiness which makes me about 75% less likely to ever bother buying directly from Arrow in future.

I haven't touched Arrows site in years. The site is pathetic to use. The prices are absurd. I'm just not wanting to give them my money.

It might be worth sending a message to the customer service email to say how many credits you had, that you had spent a lot of money to acquire them, and you were hoping to use them soon.

You might get nothing, but they might help you out and give you a discount voucher or code.

As the saying goes, a shy bairn gets nowt.

Just when you thought they couldn't get any worse , arrow or should I say the hut group outdo themselves .

Like many others I will not buy of them direct and will happily wait for a discount on anything I want

Stoked about Arrow finally putting out a Blu ray of Show Me Love/F***ing Amal, albeit as part of a Moodysson boxset.
Finally!
