NOCO Express' refreshed Friends & Family goes live May 2.
TONAWANDA, N.Y. — NOCO Express refreshed its Friends & Family program, nine years after introducing the loyalty initiative.
Friends & Family, which relaunches May 2, makes it easier for NOCO customers to earn additional savings and entries into monthly sweepstakes.
"Having launched our original loyalty program in 2009, we wanted to give it a fresh, easier-to-understand update based on customer feedback and new technology available," said Jim DeFilippis, vice president and general manager, NOCO Express. "By signing up in-store or via the new NOCO app, our customers can save every time they fill up at the pump or shop at one of our locations."
This month, the loyalty program will feature more than 25 prizes, including his-and-hers bicycles valued at $1,000 as the grand prize. Local restaurants and retailers are also providing gift cards as prizes, he said.
"As we celebrate 85 years in western New York, we are excited for the opportunity to partner with other local businesses on the promotions and prizes offered through the new Friends & Family program," DeFilippis added.
According to the retailer, customers enrolled in the new NOCO Friends & Family program can earn instant savings and rewards, with free in-store items, discounts on monthly specials and birthday rewards.
Customers are encouraged to swipe their card both at the pump and in-store. Eight or more visits per month to NOCO Express earn customers two entries per swipe and 12 or more visits earn three entries per swipe.
