Great news for seniors and low-income families!

FairPrice has announced the extension of its popular discount schemes into 2025, ensuring that the Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation, and Community Health Assist Scheme (Chas) cardholders can enjoy greater savings at their stores.

Discount Details

Starting from now until December 31, 2025, these discounts will be available across all FairPrice physical outlets and Unity pharmacies. Eligible seniors — those holding the Pioneer and Merdeka Generation cards — will receive a generous 3% discount on designated days, while Singaporeans aged 60 and above can look forward to a 2% discount every Tuesday!

Eligibility Criteria

But who qualifies for these benefits? Households where each person earns between $1,501 and $2,300 monthly can apply for the orange card. Meanwhile, those with a monthly income of $1,500 or less can obtain the blue card, unlocking various savings opportunities during their shopping trips.

How to Avail the Discounts

To take advantage of these discounts, customers simply need to present their digital or physical membership cards at the checkout or select the appropriate option at self-checkout kiosks. Discounts can be utilized for transactions up to $200 a day, making it easier for families to manage their expenses.

CEO's Statement

Vipul Chawla, the CEO of FairPrice Group, emphasized the ongoing economic challenges many Singaporeans face despite a decrease in inflation rates. “We want to do our part in helping vulnerable Singaporeans stretch their dollar further by delivering on our mission of keeping daily essentials within reach for all,” he stated.

Additional Benefits for Members

Moreover, there are benefits for NTUC Link and union members as well! Every dollar spent earns 0.5 Linkpoints, which can be redeemed for discounts later on—100 Linkpoints equal $1 savings!

Conclusion

As the cost of living continues to rise, initiatives like these from FairPrice are pivotal in supporting the community. Don’t miss out on these savings – check your eligibility and make the most of these fantastic discounts before they expire!
