ADNOC Self-Service Pumbs With Rewards (20 Fils Per Gallon)

Today was my first day using self-service pumps at ADNOC petrol stations. I've been using ADNOC smartcard (Rahal) to fill my car for over a year now and I was wondering what benifit do I get over those who pay with cash or credit cards. Now motorists in Abu Dhabi, using self-service pumps at ADNOC will get rewards of 20 points worth 20 fils per gallon. It's about time! I know Kuwait has been using Self-Service pumps for over 10 years now.

Customers will have the option to redeem the points to purchase certain ADNOC products or services except petroleum or donate the money to charity, said a statement issued by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) on Monday.

The company officially launched the self-service on Monday (April 14), the first of its kind in the UAE. A few pumps in 15 petrol stations across Abu Dhabi provide the self service, in addition to the regular service. Self-service will have a positive impact in reducing the cost of petroleum by way of collecting rewards for every gallon purchased, said the company.

The points stored on customers' Rahal Smart cards (the prepaid and e-cash smart cards) can be redeemed with a minimum of 1000 points worth Dh10. But customers cannot redeem it to purchase petroleum products. They can later redeem to purchase other products from ADNOC Oasis, Lube Change, Car Wash and many other services and products offered by ADNOC service stations at the end of each month.

Customers will also have an option to donate the points accumulated to the Red Crescent society as a contribution by the company and its customers towards the charitable projects. Customers who wish to donate can make a request to the petrol station staff with their Rahal cards.

The Self-Service option will be applicable to 'EPLUS' 91 and Special 95 petroleum and Super 98, and exclude Green Diesel.

Rahal Smart Card, ADNOC Distribution's pre-paid smart card, worth minimum Dh 200 ,is available on all petrol stations. This new service is the most recent of many such initiatives ADNOC Distribution has launched for its clients and customers. Some of the recent products released include E-Plus, Green Diesel 500.
