FairPrice
extends Pioneer Generation discount for another
year
SINGAPORE: NTUC FairPrice announced on Thursday (Dec 28) that it
will be extending its 3 per cent discount for members of the
Pioneer Generation (PG) for another year - the third time it has
done so.
The scheme, which takes 3 per cent off purchases made by PG members
at all FairPrice supermarket and hypermarket outlets, is now
effective until Dec 31, 2018, said the supermarket chain in a press
release.
FairPrice has disbursed more than S$11.5 million in discounts since
it was introduced in October 2014, it stated. Savings disbursed
this year alone amounted to more than S$4.5 million - an increase
exceeding 40 per cent from the year before.
"The PG discount scheme has been very well-received and we remain
committed to serving the needs of our pioneers by providing greater
savings for them," said CEO Seah Kian Peng.
Earlier this year, the scheme, which only applied on Mondays, was
expanded to also include Thursdays. Beyond this, FairPrice also has
the seniors discount scheme, which gives all shoppers aged 61 and
above 2 per cent off their purchases on Tuesdays.
The press release stated that PG members also enjoy priority
queuing at designated counters, where customers are encouraged to
be gracious and allow them to move ahead in making payment.
PG members need only to present their PG card, which was provided
in the Government's Pioneer Generation Package.
