Year-end warning to consumers: Check your accumulated points

Consumer associations are warning that loyalty-card points accumulated by Turkish shoppers may expire at year-end, urging holders to check and redeem balances before they lapse. The groups did not cite a specific monetary value for the points at risk, but said consumers should review expiry terms across programs rather than assume balances carry over. The warning matters because unredeemed points represent a direct, if often overlooked, household asset that can be forfeited silently. Consumers should watch program-level expiry dates and any notice periods for redemption in the final weeks of December.
