Giant doubles its senior citizen discount to 6% until 14 June
It's for Singaporeans and permanent residents aged 60 and above, and are members of the yuu rewards programme.
SINGAPORE – Food and grocery retailer Giant is doubling its senior citizen discount to six per cent from Wednesday (7 June) until 14 June, excluding weekends, for all yuu Rewards Club members.
Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) aged 60 and above, who are members of the rewards programme, can enjoy the six per cent discount across all Giant stores with no minimum spend, parent company DFI Retail Group (DFI) said in a statement on Wednesday.
However, the offer is not applicable for online purchases. Several products are also exempted from this programme, including tobacco and cigarettes, newspaper and magazines, infant milk powder, phone cards, Dairy Farm gift vouchers, lottery and purchases from concessionaires.
DFI's marketing director for Food and Own Brand, Southeast Asia, Lee Yik Hun, said that the initiative is part of DFI's ongoing commitment to ensure the elderly and vulnerable costumers can purchase daily essentials and get best value in the times of inflation and economic uncertainty.
"We know that every dollar counts and are continuously looking for opportunities to support Singaporeans," Lee said.
