Smith Oil Enhances Mobile App
NEW CUMBERLAND, W.V. — After the successful rollout of its fuel pay mobile app in 2022, Smith Oil Co. has again partnered up with Liquid Barcodes Inc. to expand the platform, introducing customers to a new loyalty program.
Liquid Barcodes developed the program via its C-Store Pay system. The application will now include digital stamp cards for several popular items, along with fuel pay, which allows consumers to drive in, swipe to choose the fuel pump number in the app, link their bank account on the first visit, and fuel up and go.
The addition of the stamp cards will let customers earn a free item after purchasing a certain number of identical items, such as Monster energy drinks, coffee, cappuccino, fountain drinks and milk gallons. Smith Oil is also working in conjunction with other consumer packaged goods companies to offer more items via the program in the future, the company stated.
