What you need to know about the "Thank You" Bonus Program

Many customers have problematic situations with banking operations, and the "Thank you" program is not included in the category of exceptions. And all this is due to the fact that not every card holder is responsible for recommendations for use. For example, some do not know that bonuses for purchasing are accrued within 5 working days, but if the purchase amount exceeds the threshold of 15,000, then the bonus units will be charged for 40 days (workers).

Also, before you connect "Thank you" from Sberbank, remember that only those operations that are equivalent to cashless settlement for goods in a regular outlet are bonuses. And, for example, the payment of fines, the payment of tuition and other accounts is not subject to bonuses. In addition, for active program participants, there are higher bonus rates, which they can also use at their discretion.

How and where can I spend bonuses "Thank you"?

The advantage of bonuses is that it's always nice to spend money on purchases without withdrawing them from the monthly budget. Each bonus unit in partner shops, which already has more than 10,000 in Russia, is equated to a single ruble discount. Thus, if you exchange the accumulated points when making a purchase, the discount on the goods can be up to 99%. So, for example, if the cost of the necessary thing is 500 rubles, and the same or greater amount of points is on the buyer's card, then it will be necessary to pay only 1 ruble.

All this information must be known to the customer before the "Thank you" from Sberbank is connected so that the comfortable use of the program does not cloud the unforeseen problematic situations.
