SINGAPORE — For a flat annual membership fee, subscribers will be able to enjoy savings and rebates as well as access to grocery and transport services under a new subscription programme launched on Monday (March 19) by supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice and ride-hailing operator Grab.

Called Score Subscription Programme, it was first announced in January when NTUC FairPrice and Grab signed a Memorandum of Understanding.

The programme was developed after a survey was conducted with more than 1,000 customers between the ages of 20 to 40 years. The survey showed that there is a “potential in the market for such a service”, said NTUC FairPrice and Grab in a joint media statement.

Groceries (69 per cent) and transport (54 per cent) were listed as top services that respondents wanted from a subscription service, they added.

From now till May 18, Score’s first-year subscription will be available at an early-bird price of S$18. After the promotional period, subscribers will have to pay an annual membership fee of S$29.99. The membership fee rises to S$49.99 from the second year.

Under the programme — which was launched by NTUC Secretary-General Chan Chun Sing on Monday — subscribers will be able to benefit from both companies.

For example, subscribers can get a five per cent rebate for incremental spends above S$100 in a single receipt at NTUC FairPrice, FairPrice Finest, FairPrice Xtra, Unity stores and Warehouse Club. Other perks include 1,000 LinkPoints for each subscription year and free access to Warehouse Club, run by NTUC FairPrice.

Meanwhile, subscribers can also get 50 per cent discount off all Grab rides on the third Monday of every month and attend members-only Grab events, such as private movie screenings. Users who take four rides on Grab will also receive 20 per cent off the remaining rides for the rest of the month.

Commenting on the partnership, NTUC FairPrice CEO Seah Kian Peng said, for a start, the programme “maximises benefits to customers and complements their groceries and transportation needs”.

“Progressively, Score will be further developed as we collaborate with other industry leaders to provide a comprehensive service with different offerings to complement the customers’ lifestyle,” he added.

Group CEO and co-founder of Grab Anthony Tan added that Score is a “perfect embodiment of the double bottom line approach that is core to both organisations... (and) a win-win-win for FairPrice, Grab and our customers”.

The companies also said that they welcome other industry leaders to include a wider range of products and services on top of grocery essentials and transportation offerings.

To sign up for the service, consumers can head to www.scoresg.com.
