How to activate SPAR Club card in Russia?

| Published | LAST UPDATED .

As an example of activating a SPAR Club card, we give the Russian version of activating the loyalty program. In other countries where the SPAR distribution network is present, the registration procedure may vary. But the essence remains unchanged.

Why activate the card?

The SPAR CLUB card is a savings program for customers. When you shop at russian SPAR, EUROSPAR and SPAR-express supermarkets, you get points that are credited to the card. Accumulate points and exchange them for goods in chain stores in Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Samara, Penza, Vladimir and Ivanovo regions, Chuvash Republic, Mari El Republic and Mordovia.

In addition, the availability of an activated card and its presentation at the cash desk allows you to take advantage of discounts on club promotions for certain goods.
Also, an activated card linked to the Personal Cabinet on the official website of the SPAR network allows you to use additional privileges, such as a smart basket. You cannot create a Personal Cabinet without a card.

Please note that bonuses are not added to an inactive card! In other words, it is not enough just to buy a card, fill out a questionnaire.

If a new card has not been activated within 3 months - it will be blocked. A new card is not issued free of charge.

The operator will ask for the card number and your personal details to fill in the form.

After completing the above steps, an SMS with a registration code will be sent to your mobile number. This code must be communicated to the operator of the Hotline. The operator confirms registration and assigns you a bonus account number. Now you can accumulate points for purchases.

Activation of the SPAR Club card in the Personal Cabinet

The card can be activated through the procedure of creating a Personal Cabinet at the official website www.spar-nn.ru. For information on how to do this, see "SPAR CLUB card - access to the Personal Cabinet". Creating a Personal Cabinet opens up even more opportunities for the cardholder.

How do I know the balance of points on the card?

There are two ways to find out how many points you have been credited for a purchase, your balance and the amount of points spent:
- an additional check, which is issued at the moment of purchase. It shows you the current balance of points.
- You can find out your balance by calling the Hotline 8-800-500-72-04 (free call). To identify a club card, the call must be made from the mobile phone number to which the card is activated.
- In the Personal Cabinet on the website www.spar-nn.ru.
Points are accumulated from the first purchase using the club card. The first write-off of points is possible after the activation of the card. Points are credited directly on the day of purchase.

How are points awarded?

Points are credited to a SPAR CLUB card from the purchase sum (check) of 350 rubles excluding goods for which no points are credited*. The amount of points is calculated as a percentage of the sum of your purchase:

Keep in mind that points are not credited:
- for products participating in special offers and promotions that are highlighted by special price tags
- for goods paid for (partly or fully) with points already earned
- for tobacco products.

Also, points are not deducted:
- for tobacco products
- alcoholic beverages
- The period of bonus points validity is 1 year from the moment of their crediting.
- If for 12 months no purchases were made on the card - the card is blocked, bonuses are cancelled.
