For the majority of people and most businesses, refuelling is just part of the job and it’s a necessity. fuelGenie has made the process easier for businesses thanks to our fuel cards, but what’s in it for the individual drivers? Well, potentially quite a lot actually!
fuelGenie keeps track of all of the refuelling and the invoicing which means that the paperwork required from a driver today is significantly less than it used to be. However, one aspect of business refuelling that is often under publicised is the potential for drivers to gain ‘personal’ supermarket loyalty points thanks to strategic refuelling.
When a business takes advantage of the fuelGenie fuel cards and drivers are directed towards supermarket forecourts to fill up, they are helping their businesses keep costs down. However, there is also potential for them to help themselves. By ensuring they have a Morrisons More card, a Tesco Clubcard or a Sainsbury’s Nectar card for example, when they refuel for business, they can add those accumulated fuel points to their own loyalty card.
Over time, particularly if you or your drivers cover a lot of business miles, they can earn enough points to allow them to make significant savings in-store, put the money towards meal vouchers or even in some cases, double points, which can then be used for bigger purchases such as televisions or even holiday air miles.
It’s all about making the miles accrued by you or your business work for you and your team. By highlighting the personal rewards available when using fuelGenie alongside a supermarket loyalty card, people have the potential to save money. How much money people can save will purely depend on how many business miles they cover during a regular week.
At a time when there is a lot of uncertainty and costs can often be hard to predict, the majority of drivers will appreciate the opportunity to earn some rewards. Whether that is a small amount or something more significant, anything is better than no reward.
Make sure you take full advantage of the benefits offered by supermarket refuelling in terms of business, but also personal rewards. That way the system can benefit everyone.
