For those who pump petrol regularly, you might already be familiar with the Esso Smiles programme. It is a driver rewards loyalty programme that encourages and rewards drivers in Singapore who pump petrol at Esso.

As part of the programme, you would be entitled to a 10% fuel discount when you present your Esso Smiles card when paying for fuel.

You also earn Smiles points each time you refuel at Esso. Every litre of Synergy™ fuel pumped at an Esso service station earns you 1 Esso Smiles point. If you purchase 250 litres of Synergy™ fuel within a calendar month, you will earn an additional 35% bonus Esso Smiles points and enjoy exclusive Esso promotions and giveaways.

Download The Enhanced Esso Digital App To Maximise Your Reward

Instead of presenting the physical Esso Smiles card, you can now download the enhanced Esso app, which is available on the App Store (for iOS users) and on Google Play (for Android users).

The enhanced Esso app allows you to earn Smiles points easily using the digital Smiles card, track deals quickly and redeem rewards flexibly. You can enjoy exclusive perks, including surprise fuel eVouchers, and explore a range of rewards and offers using Smiles points. For instance, you can redeem a $30 instant fuel redemption with 750 points.

Stay updated with the latest news and access members-only promotions. You can also plan your driving route more efficiently using the Esso stations locator available on the Esso app.

If this is the first time you are downloading the Esso app, you can choose to link your existing Esso Smiles Card, or register for a new Esso Smiles digital card.

For first-time Esso app users, there is an exclusive welcome offer of up to $14 worth of fuel vouchers that you can enjoy. The offer is also applicable to existing Smiles members registered in Singapore who have not downloaded and logged in to the Esso app previously.

Earn Smiles Points Easily Through The Esso Smiles Digital Card

Within the Esso app, there is the Esso Smiles digital card that you can use to collect Smiles points while paying for fuel at the Esso station. This means you won’t even need to show a physical card to earn Smiles points.

As a regular driver, I pump around 100 litres of petrol each month. This works out to about 1,200 litres a year, equivalent to 1,200 Smiles points annually, based on the 1 Smiles points per litre earn rate.

Track Deals Quickly On The Esso App

The aim of earning Smiles points is, of course, to eventually redeem them for the deals that you want.

With the Esso app, you can conveniently keep track of accumulated Smiles points. The app also includes deals that you can redeem your points for. These include fuel vouchers, mart vouchers, partner deals and discounts, and other services at Esso.

Redeem Rewards Flexibly Through The Esso App

Once you identify the deals you like, you can redeem them through the Esso app.

One important point to note is that you may enjoy a better deal if you redeem some of the deals on the app itself rather than in person at the service station. Personally, one thing I like about the Esso app is that all my rewards from Esso can be found on the My Rewards page. I no longer have to worry about misplaced vouchers or forgetting to bring the vouchers when paying for fuel.

The app provides an all-in-one access for your fuel-related needs, containing the Esso Smiles digital card, keeping your rewards, tracking of Smiles points balance and redemption of deals.

Whether you are an existing Esso Smiles member or new to the Esso Smiles programme, the Esso app is a handy companion you need, to maximise the rewards you can enjoy when pumping fuel at Esso. Download the app and find out more here!
