FNB drops Checkers for Pick n Pay

FNB has expanded its partnership with Pick n Pay, offering increased eBucks rewards and ending eBucks earnings at Checkers from 1 April 2025.

So that's how you screw over your customers and bailing out a struggling retailer.
I shop at Checkers, so now forcing me to shop at PnP, a place I do not want to shop.
Why not have both? No thanks. Screw you guys, I'm going home.

 

[Dolby]

I think Checkers & Engen were the big ones for most ... so they better have a plan B in place

 

[Flojo]

But why.
Its makes no sense..

@Kung Fu Porkchop would you drop a 320d for an i20?

 

[Mystic Twilight]

But why.
Its makes no sense..

Most likely makes business sense for fnb and pnp, fnb gets paid a cut of shoppers spend saving/spending ebucks at pnp and pnp pays to get a bunch of shoppers directed to buy stuff from them.

...so now forcing me...

Behavioural economics, which is what discovery has been doing for a while on their vitality program.

Yeah, our PNP absolutely sucks.
I guess I can upgrade and use Spar.

The conspiracy theorist in me, thinks Pnp offered them a cash/cut offer to good to decline....Pnp is desperate it wouldn't surprise me if they resort to these type of tactics to save the ailing business.........Must have been one hell of and offer for FNB to jump ship

 

[PaulNOTsaul]

Lets see how many "loyal" customers will stick with Checkers

 

[Bliksis]

The fck with PnP. They're KAK. Checkers for general groceries, Spar for some meat, the rest at markets and butcheries.

eBucks minions take note!

 

[Gtx Gaming]

Atleast pick and pay gives 20% back for paying your bills!

You already know the answer. Why the f*** would anyone do that?

 

[RedViking]

That's when you know management is out of touch with reality.

At least the i20 is reliable

 

[RedViking]

Literally, just the head. Lol!

Some "loyal FNB customers" might take umbrage with the change, and I'm not one of them, but there are plenty of other customers who won't care in the slightest, or who will benefit from the change.

There are plenty of things in the world worse than losing a few ebucks... shopping at PnP is one of them.

What do you mean? A 320d is reliable

Depends on which one you go to and what items you buy. Milk and eggs are often cheaper at the PnP than at the Spar which are just across the road from each other.
