Continente Cartao (card) for shopping

B
#1
Ola a todos,

I shop at the local Continente supermercado here and they always ask if I have a Continente card. Is that
a discount card or a credit card? What does it cost to get one?
Muito obrigado  :)

Great card to have.  I normally accumulate all my points/euros and then twice a year use them up i.e. when I go on holiday I use up all the points/euros on my holiday shop and at Christmas I do my Christmas shop using up all the points.

Did you know that you can also show your Continente card at the cinemas in the Algarve - Forum, Guia Shopping and Portimao on a Tuesday and get half price cinema tickets, popcorn and a drink?
