For every $50 a shopper spends at BI-LO, he or she receives a five-cent-per-gallon reward applied to his or her new [image-nocss] My BI-LO Bonuscard that is used at the pump to roll down the price of gasoline. The $50 threshold can be achieved through multiple visits to BI-LO and it is all tracked automaticallyand immediately in "real time"through the new My BI-LO Bonuscard.
There is no limit to the amount of fuelperks! rewards a customer can earn. So, if a shopper and his or her family spend $200 over the course of several weeks or in a single visit, they accumulate a 20-cent-per-gallon reward. Customers are able to redeem their fuelperks! rewards by swiping their full-size My BI-LO Bonuscard in the card reader at any of the participating Shell-branded or Spinx gas stations. The price per gallon on all grades of gasoline will automatically roll down the amount of fuelperks! rewards earned and the customer can pump up to 20 gallons of gasoline per visit.
BI-LO is working with Excentus Corp., the provider of fuelperks!, to launch the program.
According to Excentus officials, BI-LO will be the only grocery store chain in the area to offer fuelperks!. Through Excentus, BI-LO is working with Shell and Spinx to provide gas stations near BI-LO stores.
BI-LO customers will need the new My BI-LO Bonuscard to redeem fuelperks! rewards. Converting to the new card requires a stop at a BI-LO store to have the customer's old card scanned; all existing data will be retained with the new card. All BI-LO shoppers will continue to enjoy everyday savings with their My BI-LO Bonuscard and will be able to take advantage of other BI-LO customer appreciation programs with the added bonus of gasoline savings.
