Reward Medals – what on earth are they

So I keep getting eMails about reward medals that I have earned from being such a valuable and regular customer – but I’m not, so I’m a little confused by them.

It started out saying something like “your recent purchases have earned 150 medals, you can convert 100 of these into a £5 discount”.

But I hadn’t made any recent purchases, in fact I’ve not purchased much directly from Warlord Games for a couple of years and even then it wasn’t a huge amount.

So I just put it down to be a marketing exercise to bring the reward medal scheme to my attention and a way of giving me  a £5 discount making it seem like I am getting some special treatment – I imagine that everyone registered for the newsletter got the same.

And then today, I got another email saying that I now have 175 reward medals because I had earned a further 25 medals last month.  And I certainly did not buy anything last month.

So how is it that I am earning reward medals – I visit the site and the forum regularly, so do you get them just for visiting the site.
