What Is KFC Rewards?

Briefly News reported that the KFC rewards programme works around three monthly missions. Beyond the missions, members receive four exclusive deals every month simply for being signed up, no extra steps needed. KFC Rewards can be used in three ways: kept for yourself, shared with someone in your network through the app, or donated to the Add Hope charity initiative.

On the 11th of every month at 11 am, a special mission drops, tied to one of four passion areas: music, gaming, sports, or fashion. Three guests who scored highest in the KFC Rewards mission stations at the Fourways launch walked away with Boys of Soweto golf shirts valued at over R2 000. KFC's pop-up mission stations, where participants stand to win, are open to the public in Johannesburg Fourways Mall for a week before moving to KZN and Cape Town.

In an interview with Briefly News, the two customers were quick to point out what appealed to them most on the KFC Rewards app. One, @sunkissedaries_ on TikTok, said the ability to send a voucher to a friend who is struggling financially was her favourite feature:

"If one of my friends is down and they would like a meal, and I know I don't have money, but I've got the voucher, I'm definitely going to send that voucher."

The other winner said giving back was her thing, noting she always donates her two-rand reward to charity and feels guilty when she does not. Watch the KFC Rewards launch at Fourways Mall:
