There's a new way to cut the cost of buying merchandice from Hereford United - by signing up to Conference rewards.
In essence the Conference have done a deal which means that when you shop at certain outlets you can receive Conference Rewards.
The process is simple you sign up online at www.conferencerewards.co.uk and then make your purchases through one of over 200 retailers (many high street brands including ASOS, CDWOW!, Currys, Dixons, Ebay, Expedia, Game, Halfords, HMV, JD Sports, Kitbag, Marks & Spencer, Mothercare, Play.com, Tesco and Thomas Cook), the reward points are added to your account and then you are free to redeem against a whole host of your club's products, you could get your season ticket, your shirt or many money can't buy items only available through Conference rewards.
As is usual with any promotion of this kind, one has to spend some sort of money to, for example, get a signed shirt.
One of the rewards is a years subscription to the Conference magazine. For that 2945 points are required. However to obtain this magazine you would have to send £981.66 at MFI where the reward is 3 points for every £1 spent.
Another reward is a season ticket for which one needs 58950 points. If one decided to go to Tesco Books for example one would need to spend £29475.00!

UPDATE: It appears that the Conference Rewards site's security certificate is not currently valid. One would have thought this would have been checked before the launch.
