How to shop smart and get rewarded daily with Discovery Bank
March 2023
How did COVID-19 shift our spending behaviour? According to the latest #SpendTrend23 research by Discovery Bank and Visa, South Africans are spending a lot more on groceries, travel, eating out and takeaways after the pandemic.
The good news? Despite rising food and fuel prices worldwide, Discovery Bank clients on average spend less money when they:
- Shop for healthy food at Pick n Pay or Woolworths
- Fill up at bp or select Shell service stations
- Shop in-store or online with their Discovery Miles.
Here's how you can shop smart and get rewarded every single day with Discovery Bank.
