“Aral has been an important PAYBACK partner for almost twenty years. Digital services have played a central role from the very beginning. The new option of paying with the Sparkassen-Card and collecting points at the same time perfectly continues this strategy and creates additional value for customers,” says PAYBACK Managing Director Bernhard Brugger.
Dr. Joachim Schmalzl, Executive Board Member of the DSGV, adds: "What began with regional partners has been consistently expanded to national players such as EDEKA and Netto – and now Aral is following suit. This makes the experience much easier for millions of customers: refuel, pay, and collect points in a single step. This is made possible by the Girocard system in the Sparkassen-Card, which many people use every day anyway."
To collect points, you must link your Sparkassen-Card to your PAYBACK account. Initial registration and linking can be done easily via online banking or the Sparkasse app. There is no need to present your PAYBACK card separately – points are credited automatically. PAYBACK has over 35 million active customers and works with more than 700 partner companies. With over 36 million private checking accounts, the Sparkasse banks are the largest financial group in Europe.
PAYBACK points can be collected and redeemed at Aral gas stations for all current and future fuels, for charging at more than 3,900 Aral pulse charging points, and at participating Aral gas stations for fresh snacks or coffee specialties in the shop or bistro and for car washes. Currently, customers receive one PAYBACK point for every two liters of fuel, two kilowatt hours of electricity, or €1 spent in the shop at participating stations, and even more with coupons.
