If your family shops at New World, Pak’n’Save or Four Square, there’s a change coming to how you earn rewards.
Foodstuffs, the company that owns all three supermarket chains, has announced a new loyalty programme called Club+. Sign-ups opened this week, and the programme will officially launch on 15 June.
Club+ lets shoppers earn rewards called “Club+ Dollars” when they buy groceries at New World or Four Square. Those dollars can then be spent at any of the three supermarkets, including Pak’n’Save. Members also get access to fuel discounts and special personalised deals.
One reason behind the scheme is that most New Zealanders don’t stick to just one supermarket. Foodstuffs says more than three-quarters of customers regularly shop at more than one store, so Club+ is designed to work across all of them with a single programme.
Pak’n’Save shoppers won’t earn Club+ Dollars when they shop there, but they can still spend any dollars they’ve earned elsewhere. Foodstuffs says this is because Pak’n’Save focuses on keeping prices as low as possible, rather than running a traditional points system.
The new programme also means the end of the New World Clubcard, which will close on 26 July. Foodstuffs says existing Clubcard balances, shopping history and preferences will all be carried across to Club+ automatically, so nothing will be lost.
