PnP rates and tier system
“This is an outstanding innovation for our customers and we are very excited about the additional benefits they will gain,” says Richard van Rensburg, Pick n Pay’s director of technology and services. “Innovation has been absolutely critical to creating South Africa’s favorite loyalty program and this new Smart Shopper innovation means customers leave our stores with affordable groceries, points on their card and now free data on their PnP Mobile SIM card. ”.
