Astron Energy has partnered with Shoprite Group to let Xtra Savings members earn rewards on qualifying fuel purchases at participating Astron Energy service stations across South Africa from November 10. Members swipe or scan their Xtra Savings card when they fill up, and rewards are credited within 24 hours. They can be redeemed at Shoprite Group stores, including Checkers, Shoprite and Usave, or on the Sixty60 delivery app.

“In the current economic environment, value needs to be real, relevant and easy to access. By bringing together fuel and grocery rewards, we are connecting two important parts of customers’ everyday lives,” said Thayuri Moodley, Head of Marketing at Astron Energy.

All Xtra Savings members earn R0.25 ($0.015) per litre, up to a monthly cap of R4,000 ($240) or 190 litres of qualifying fuel, whichever comes first. Members who spend more than R3,000 ($180) a month on qualifying fuel see their rewards double to R0.50 ($0.03) per litre, including litres already bought that month. Xtra Savings Plus members earn R0.50 per litre from the first litre, up to the same cap.

“We are building rewards partnerships around a simple idea: helping customers get more value in a simple, transparent way,” said Hayden Scholtz, Head of Partnerships for ShopriteX at Shoprite Group.
