I still think they shouldn't be given any points for it even if bought online, but this is a good example of them.
MyGers Points Update
- Thread starter Rangers72
- Start date
Very close to being staunch
How close is close?

Should add a barcode onto the programmes so if you buy them from a vendor you scan it and sumbit your rangers number for the point.

In fairness, £20 for the TC membership = 20 points5 match programmes = £35 - 5 points
European away matches before this season = £320 approx - 5 points
Some system

In the 21st century you’d think an organisation would have provisions in place to allow this to happen.
Then you step back and remember our MyGers system requires manual inputting of points and is open to human error; you also then consider the ticket office have messed up ballots before because of an error in the filtering
Until our technological capabilities improve, I’d say your suggestion is a pipe dream
Domestic away games can easily cost me £100 a pop - for Nada points added5 match programmes = £35 - 5 points
European away matches before this season = £320 approx - 5 points
Some system
Yep, your right some system
They want you to buy direct from Rangers - more money for them.

Problem with that is people want to read the programmes on the day.
I ordered the real madrid one and it took 4 months to arrive
I really don’t think people realise the commitment it takes to follow Rangers abroad.
People still read programmes? I thought they just bought for the points.Problem with that is people want to read the programmes on the day.

Then straight in the bin because no one wants them
Having the technical ability to input points as they are accumulated is also a pipe dream that may never be realised while our business model is based on and are dependent on manual input

Set up costs for new technology/systems/expertise will be high initially but shouldn’t be the primary consideration for a club our size
We were talking about the poor systems years ago yet we’re still using the same systems.
* I have noticed customer service seems slightly better, though it’s still frustrating the ticket office is only open on match days
I do know and understand the commitment of following abroad- done many a 3 to 5 day trip on a bus - unlike the in and out quickly flying squad of today
but the comment was directed at points gained in certain circumstances and away games have zilch points added

I’m not overly up to speed with away games, I know it’s going to be some formula but does anyone know what it’ll be?
Like, if you’ve applied for every game will you be getting max points so long as you bought all games offered to you?

I thought it was just 1 or 2 points for the games you’ve purchased?

That’s the main problem- I like to read my programme at the game. Last season when we couldn’t get to games and Reach were still doing them I ordered a block of 12 programmes. There were no additional postage costs and every single one arrived in advance of the actual match. I have ordered a couple online this season and every single one has arrived at least days after the game. My St Mirren programme arrived two days ago. For the sake of missing out on one point and not paying a £2 postage surcharge then it’s better for me to buy at the ground!Problem with that is people want to read the programmes on the day.

The full set up for aways games is a joke. Encouraging people to apply when they don’t want to go just so they’ve registered their interest. Then giving priority on tickets to those who go to the least games.I do know and understand the commitment of following abroad- done many a 3 to 5 day trip on a bus - unlike the in and out quickly flying squad of today

I doubt Rangers know. It’s just a mess.

You're lucky that you have the St Mirren one, still no sign of it here. Hopefully it isn't raining when it arrives as the packaging is pathetic compared to proper companies that do programmes.

Changed it because people complained about how they’d accrue points if they were unsuccessful/how were they meant to gain points to climb up
So it’s to be based on games applied for rather than how many individual tickets you get (if you get offered and don’t buy I suspect you’ll be penalised)
Some laugh when bronze and silver get more points than gold or something ridiculous like that
MyGers is pish.

A sentence that sums up this scheme to be honest. People buying all sorts of shite they don’t want / need just to get points.
Its effectively an indirect means of the club just selling points for money and is exactly why the scheme should be based on match tickets and attendances only.

They missed a trick not selling “mygers points” as an actual gift idea - particularly for Christmas
“Buy 200 mygers points for that special someone in your life, for only £750”
Or better still, allowing people to buy gold mygers memberships for £1872, but only having a limited 100 packages available so the sold out rapid

We’ve only just got card payments this season at the kiosks. The club’s stuck in the 90s.
Anyone that is moaning about being down the pecking order when travelling abroad should be ok from next year though I would think.
We would have lost two years of which their was only one away game in Europe. And should have had a good few aways games now from last year and this , which gets you 15 points.
And if not ok, then it’s because you don’t go to all home games, haven’t had season ticket for 5 years and so on.

few games back I went down for a coffee.
Card only but the card machine isn't working just now.
What you want me to do then?
Eh just take it
Wasn’t sure if it was like a rolling 5 years…. As now it’s really 5 and a half years given that points are updated in year.

Yes, technically so - it’s a rolling 5 year period at the start of a season, but 5.5years half way through the current season

Lyon looks like it’s been added and I just bought 7 programmes an hour ago and they’ve also been added already.

Maybe we could create a library with our unwanted programmes, alternatively we could create bags of confetti
I can’t believe I caved and bought them. I bought that subscription a month back as it was easier but at the end of the day the club gets the money. And I get the points.
R
RobbenHood
Guest
On that subscription, I bought it following a coupon win and fancied some mygers points
What games are included?
Lyon is showing in purchase history, unlike Brondby. But it’s not on my pals purchase history. Has everyone’s been updated?
Believe it’s every home match from Stirling Albion. 2 cup and 6 league before split and 2 after (maybe 3 looking at the potential opponents). At least 10 matches.

Will be 2 at Ibrox after the split - every season is 19 home and 19 away games.
If the top 6 finish as is, us, Hearts, Hibs, and Motherwell will be due to play 2 at home and 3 away, which is impossible. One of us will get an extra home match. We are also due to play every current top 6 team away from home, so at least 2 of them will have to come to Ibrox 3 times this season.
The desperation to have the max points available is the saddest fucking thing I’ve ever seen and that’s no exaggeration. Especially for those high gold and already guaranteed Euro aways anyway

Until we know the script for Parkhead, it’s the unknown
Soon as that’s cleared up, I reckon golds will become more selective with what they buy. Me personally; I’ll never drop out of gold if mygers stays in its current guise but being in the top 300 could get me a Celtic ticket
Saddest thing ever though?

Ah my bad, I never realised the others’ schedules. Wouldn’t put money on the SPFL computer ‘randomly’ giving us the extra home game right enough. I imagine (assuming the top 6 stays as is) that 2 of the teams will be making 3 visits to Ibrox - the fixtures have been somewhat kinder to us than in recent previous years (most notably the intended ‘ten in a row’ season by total coincidence of course!)
