A loaf of bread for 99c

FNB eBucks and Pick n Pay partnered to offer qualifying FNB customers a loaf of bread every week for 99c through a voucher initiative at all stores nationwide.

FNB Easy PAYU and Easy Bundle customers can purchase up to four loaves of bread a month at 99c per loaf.

To qualify, FNB Easy PAYU and Easy Bundle customers must swipe their cards for any amount when purchasing goods at Pick n Pay stores.

“The 99c bread offer will no longer be available at Shoprite stores, although FNB customers will continue to earn rewards at Checkers and Shoprite,” FNB said.

Pick n Pay CEO Sean Summers said they were delighted to be part of the 99c bread initiative to provide relief during difficult times.

“We see the value and role that loyalty programmes, like our Smart Shopper programme, play in helping customers stretch their budgets,” he said.

“Our Smart Shoppers could even use their points to pay for their 99c loaf of weekly bread vouchers from FNB eBucks.”

This partnership is a win for Pick n Pay after being dropped by Discovery Vitality as a HealthyFood partner.

Discovery Vitality announced that from 1 September 2024, the Vitality HealthyFood benefit will be updated to include Checkers and Checkers Sixty60.

“Sadly, we will be saying farewell to Pick n Pay as a HealthyFood partner,” the company said.

It did not provide a reason for this decision, only saying, “The Vitality programme is constantly evolving to ensure that we continue to drive healthy engagement for our members”.

“The HealthyFood benefit will end at Pick n Pay stores and on-demand platforms on 31 August 2024.”

Therefore, transactions made from 1 September 2024 onwards at Pick n Pay will not qualify for HealthyFood rewards.
