On Friday (11 October), Caltex Malaysia announced that its loyalty app, CaltexGO, now offers rewards from Watsons, FamilyMart MYDIN, 7-Eleven, Lotus’s Grab, and Touch ‘n Go. 

Registering requires installing the app, providing a phone number, and creating a username and password. Complete registration also requires providing an email address (which I tried) and payment card information (which I did not do). 

Because I did not complete the registration, I could still use the app, but I did not get my 500 gratuity points for first-time registration.

At the time of this write-up (11 October), only three rewards were on offer: 100 points for the Carbon Offset Program (stay away from this), 1010 points for a RM10 FamilyMart voucher, and 1010 points for a RM10 Watsons voucher. 

2 points are earned for every 1 litre of fuel purchased. With the price of RON95 at a little more than RM2 per litre, each point costs about RM1. Every 100 points could also be spent at a value of RM1 at Caltex.

I like how the CaltexGo app asks permission to push notifications and announcements on the device, SMS, and email and how all of it can be turned off to accept notifications for transactions to email. 

However, like all loyalty apps, it can be easily skipped. 

The CaltexGo app is available on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
