Petrol prices are at an all-time high in South Africa, following the latest hikes for June.<\/p>\n

Record prices were driven by the conflict in Ukraine – and resulting sanctions against Russia, supply-chain bottlenecks, and a tightening of global monetary policy. “The increases are significant and will hurt all consumers and they will undoubtedly exert inflationary pressure on the economy,” said the Automobile Association<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Debt Rescue chief executive Neil Roets said that the latest hike takes increases in the petrol price over the past 12 months to 41.5% \u2013 and all indications are that prices will continue to rise in the coming months.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is also the highest month-on-month increase ever recorded \u2013 a whopping 11% increase from May 2022 to June 2022,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

This is how the price changes will reflect at the pumps:<\/p>\n

With projections that prices are likely to continue to rise, loyalty and reward programs offer consumers some respite at petrol stations across the country.<\/p>\n

According to Melissa Hanley, head of marketing at Pick n Pay, the global pandemic saw more consumers turn to loyalty programmes, with nearly 75% of consumers using loyalty programmes in 2021. And in recent months, several big brands have launched reward programmes of their own.<\/p>\n

Chemicals company Sasol recently launched a new customer rewards programme offering savings on fuel purchases and other benefits, while Capitec also came to the party in 2021, partnering with Shell service stations.<\/p>\n

Sanlam<\/strong> is the most recent entrant to offer fuel rewards through its Money Saver credit card. It has partnered with Total Energies to give customers a guaranteed R1 per litre back.<\/p>\n

BusinessTech looked at some of the offerings by financial services companies and retailers partnering with service stations across the country:<\/p>\n
