Fair Trading Act 1986

Unfair conduct - Unfair practices

18: Trading stamp schemes prohibited

You could also call this:

“No more collecting stamps or tokens to get free stuff”

You are not allowed to use trading stamp schemes. This means you can’t give out stamps or tokens that customers can collect and exchange for goods or services. This rule used to be part of the Fair Trading Act 1986, but it was removed in 2003. The government decided this rule wasn’t needed anymore, so they took it out of the law.
