Hi there! Don’t Buy Blind...

 

Businesses in South Africa understand that fuel is a major and unavoidable expense for their customers. Many use fuel rewards to attract new customers through loyalty programs.

The Reality of Fuel Rewards

Our team has compiled a synopsis of various reward programs associated with the “Big 6.” However, these programs often aren’t as impressive as they seem. They are designed to capture your personal data or deepen brand loyalty, rather than genuinely helping your financial well-being.

Loyalty programs generally offer ~1%-1.5% back. For instance, spending R2000 on fuel at two fill-ups might yield only R21.46 in rewards.

Using the PitStops App, however, could save you between R180-R200 per fill-up!
