NOTE: THIS IS APPLICABLE TO ALL BIG BAZAARs. not just Velachery.
Big Bazaar, no doubt is a money saver! I have personally saved quite a lot because of mass purchase from this shop.
But of late, more specifically AFTER they introduced this concept of "installment Cashback", things have started to worsen.
Height of it is now, I guess, Buy for Rs.2000 and get Rs.2000 back.
I was about to apply for this but I noticed the fineprint just before pre-booking.
Yes, you will get Rs.2000 back, but you would need to spend MORE and MORE to get that back.
this Rs.2000 cash back is split into TWO Rs.1000s.
first Rs.1000 is split into 4 months of Rs.250 each. To avail each of this monthly Rs.250 you have to spend Rs.600 minimum THAT TOO only apparels, THAT TOO only selected apparels & shoes. Needless to say all those applicable apparels would be JUNK.
the second Rs.1000 is not your choice. It is a grocery kit. You cannot exchange it. It may contain things that may not needed for you, but still you will have to buy.
Over and above all these, Parking charges, infamous queue.etc.etc.
I guess they have taken this CASHBACK system to the extreme.
Upto you.
