Under the program, Nationwide’s 391 members can earn points when they purchase products and/or services from preferred suppliers, and by participating in various Nationwide events.
The earned reward points can then be redeemed for free attendance at Nationwide’s annual conference, and to acquire gifts from the group’s Rewards Redemption catalogue.
According to Colin Pocklington, managing director Nationwide Jewellers, “Every time a member purchases from one of our preferred suppliers, their settlement discount plus their rewards benefit equates to an additional 4 per cent saving, over and above the usual group trade discounts.”
He explained that more than 192 members have accumulated sufficient points to attend the 2022 annual conference at no cost.
“Members can even use their points to book hotel rooms at trade fairs,” Pocklington added.
“We have seen very strong support for our preferred suppliers since the new scheme commenced, and there is no doubt that members appreciate the added benefits that the scheme provides."
All Australian and New Zealand members have been mailed their 2020/21 Rewards Statement along with an updated Reward Redemption catalogue.
Nationwide also runs an Apprentice Support Scheme and an Apprentice of the Year Award. The former provides vouchers for both tools and cash to jewellery and watch apprentices, while the latter offers the winner a prize valued at more than $1,000 as well as the Nathan Cameron Perpetual Trophy.
