KUALA LUMPUR: Petron Malaysia Refining & Marketing Bhd, in collaboration with MyKasih Foundation, has established “PetronMyKasih Jom Derma” donation programme to give Petron Miles (PMiles) cardholders a chance to donate their points for a good cause.
MyKasih Foundation is a government-approved charitable organisation.
Since its inception in 2009, the foundation has channelled RM280 million worth of aid to more than 300,000 low-income households and students nationwide.
Petron Malaysia head of retail and commercial business Choong Kum Choy said working together with MyKasih Foundation, the company would be providing its customers the opportunity to help by donating their PMiles points to those in need. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE
Choong said the company’s PMiles card was more than just a loyalty card that provides members with attractive rewards.
It also now allows members to share their points with needy families from as low as 500 P-Miles points, which converts to a gift of RM5.
“Using the PMiles card to contribute is easy and convenient as our customers can do so whenever they are at our stations.
“And for the benefit of those who contribute, the donations will be issued with tax-exempt receipts from MyKasih,” he said.
Petron Malaysia said starting from May 7 until August 31, each P-Miles point donated would be converted into cash and vested into MyKasih Foundation.
Through the foundation, B40 families can purchase groceries and other necessities from more than 250 retail store partners including Mydin, Tesco, Giant, Econsave, The Store, Aeon, 99 Speedmart and TF Value Mart.
“Every 500 PMiles points donated will be converted into RM5, while every 1,000 PMiles points into RM10.
“Customers may donate in multiples of RM5 or RM10 at all Petron service stations through the sales counter.
“Petron customers who donate through this programme will be issued with a receipt. This programme is available at all Petron stations nationwide,” it said.
