Dis-Chem launches ‘extra’, a rewards plan with additional cover
Dis-Chem stores have introduced a new rewards programme called extra.
The programme give policy holders immediate access to 20% discounts on various essential home and health products.
This includes more than 2 500 health, home-care, personal care and baby products from leading brands, available from all stores and the online store.
According to Rui Morais, CFO at Dis-Chem, the difference is in the simplicity of the extra rewards programme, providing meaningful and immediate benefits.
“It is easy to understand and measure, in a market where rewards programmes are increasingly complex and unclear.
Furthermore, the benefit is easily accessible and material, and will make a noticeable difference to shoppers’ budgets in an environment where the consumer is under exceptional financial pressure,” Morais said.
What is the cover ?
At issue is insurance that delivers health products that meet the needs of many South Africans, and gap cover for unexpected medical aid tariff shortfalls.
The programme provides coverage of up to an additional 500% of medical aid rates for tariff shortfalls and also covers sub-limits, dental reconstruction as well as Family Protector and Hospital Booster benefits up to a specified limit.
Day-to-Day Cover
This provides for families that need to take care day-to-day of medical needs with access to private doctors, dentists, optometrists, medication and a range of other benefits.
Accident cover
Families are covered in the event of an accident, or medical emergency due to a heart attack or stroke.
Accident cover provides emergency cover for stabilisation at the scene of an accident, transportation to a private hospital by Netcare 911 and treatment in a hospital or in a casualty ward after the accident.
The store hopes to offer fully integrated health benefits beyond traditional medical services. –
