Ask the cashier whether can buy one pack of alkaline battery and proceed to TnG reloadÂ

By the cheapest Energizer of RM19.90 for 4XAA, approximate costing that i have gotten quite long ard 9 months ago is RM16.30+, imagine senq in bulking, so maybe RM15.50.
So lets take RM16 to easier calculate. earn you RM4 to round out easier calculation.
then T&G RM500*2.45% for AMEX charges since you use AMEX and they are forced to bear >.< (this not sure, approximately only hahaha) = RM12.25
so they (SenQ) earn you RM4 from batt (if you want calculate till max = 40 cents) = Rugi RM8 after - out RM12.25 (or rugi 7.60 Max calculations rofl)
then not to mention you also Rugi.. RM500 *5% + 2.5% for points = RM37.5 /
OR By Cash rebates based only RM25 for Rebates, - RM19.90 for batteries, isn't that a little pointless where the savings should comes first
Plus not everyone needs alkaline bat's in their houses... some have Slow discharge Rechargable NIMH's like Sanyo Eneloop and others @ their house.. and Except AGAIN they are buying those stuffs, then SenQ have more money to earn when you are thinking to save...

*Rechargeable batteries in Electrical shops are Extremely High Priced...

*What i have mentioned above doesn't take considerations on how much RM500 T&G profit margin Sold to consumers, as i have no idea how much T&G earns when reload without service charge... )
