FINDLAY, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2022 — Marathon Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: MPC) today announced a pilot of a new and improved rewards program available to its jobbers and dealers to enhance the retail consumer experience. The new loyalty program, Marathon Rewards, will replace the MakeItCount Rewards platform. During the pilot, select sites will transition to the new rewards program for testing prior to the market-wide release expected by the end of the year.
“Customer loyalty is integral to the Marathon Brand,” said John Rice, Brand Marketing & Commerce Manager. “This upgrade is a component of our broader Marathon Brand strategy, which includes the recently launched Endurance Image and our new Marathon Insight mystery shop program currently under development.”
Through Marathon Rewards, consumers earn rewards on fuel of 5¢ per gallon, rewards on select in-store purchases, and consumers may qualify for additional third-party offers. Rewards can be redeemed to save on qualifying fuel purchases, and the program kicks off with a $5 reward incentive for new member-related activities.
Marathon Rewards is powered by Stuzo’s Open Commerce® product suite, which provides a personalized consumer experience with targeted offers for specific store locations and targeted consumers.
“Stuzo is excited to partner with Marathon to bring the all-new Marathon Rewards program to market,” said Jake Kiser, Chief Customer Officer, Stuzo. “Marathon Rewards utilizes Stuzo’s patent-pending Wallet SteeringTM System, which drives incremental share of fuel and merchandise to jobbers and dealer networks.”
