According to the PicknPay website, as a Smart Shopper, you earn points every time you swipe your Smart Shopper card.

"Points can be spent on anything you like and are just one of the ways we save you money. Another way we reward Smart Shoppers is with personalised discounts as long as we have contact details for you and you have opted into the Smart Shopper programme."

According to OptiOffer, discounts give customers a sense of accomplishment and pride. They feel like they've outsmarted the market by getting a great deal, so there's no guilt or shame in buying something that's 50% off. In fact, they're more likely to brag about how much they saved, which validates their decision to buy the product at a discounted price.
