Let’s take a retail store for example. If you spend a certain amount and you present an advantage card at the counter, you might receive a freebie.
Some of these perks can include a free facial, getting 500 pesos off on a certain purchase, and, upon reaching a spending limit, it can also be upgraded. Aside from that, members also get to enjoy a private lounge where one can rest their feet, cool off, and rehydrate before going to another shopping spree.
You can earn rewards
Every purchase using an advantage card merits 1 reward point per 200-250 pesos spent; and you can even earn points while fueling up! Just make sure to check which fuel partners your card can be accepted in.
Usually equivalent to a peso, rewards points can be redeemed for future purchases.
