How many of you remember the Skulz Program?

Way back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s Games Workshop had a customer rewards program for Mail Order Customers.

They called it the ‘Skullz’ program and it rocked.  I actually managed to save up enough points to score the Adeptus Mechanicus squad which I still have to this day, but the Baneblade kit escaped me.

For it me the program definitely influenced the amount I would buy on each order, and I imagine I wasn’t the only one.
Do you think that with another lackluster year profits wise, a customer rewards program similar to this is in order?
