PETALING JAYA, July 4 – Esso Malaysia Berhad (Esso) and ExxonMobil Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Mobil), which are subsidiaries of ExxonMobil in Malaysia, are sponsoring 3H2M, a 13-episode travelogue programme on TV9 that features interesting holiday destinations in Malaysia. This programme is hosted by Dr Fazley, a multi-talented artiste who will invite local celebrity families to join him in each episode for a journey of discovery within Malaysia.

Journey with Smiles

3H2M showcases interesting holiday destinations in Malaysia and ways to enjoy a holiday with minimal cost. Participants will be given a set amount of money to be spent during the trip. Esso and Mobil will help them save some cash by providing them with a Smiles loyalty card. With the Smiles Points that they have earned, participants will be able to redeem free petrol and mart items at any Esso or Mobil station that they will be stopping by throughout their journey.

"At Esso and Mobil, we understand our customers' needs because we are drivers too. Our Smiles driver reward programme was designed to offer greater value and convenience to customers.  We hope through the "3 Hari 2 Malam" or 3H2M programme, viewers will learn how to stretch their budget and get more savings," said Faridah Ali, Retail Business Director, Esso Malaysia Berhad.

Smiles strives to bring a smile on everyone’s face

The Smiles Driver Rewards programme, launched in July 2005, is a loyalty membership programme that offers convenience and great value. Smiles Points accumulated from Esso and Mobil stations can be used to redeem exclusive rewards from the Smiles Catalogue. Smiles cardmembers can also make redemption of fuels and mart items (except tobacco & epay) on the spot from participating Esso and Mobil service stations without the need for forms or vouchers. Every 100 Smiles Points is equivalent to RM1 worth of mart purchases.

Smiles Points do not have an expiry date. Customers can continue accumulating Smiles Points as long as they make at least one qualifying purchase within a year from the last purchase. This way, customers will be able to enjoy complete freedom and flexibility to accumulate Smiles Points and redeem exciting rewards of their choice.

How to sign-up for Smiles

Since its launch, the Smiles programme has received overwhelming response from customers nationwide. As a reward for loyal customers, Esso and Mobil are offering a chance to win a trip to Dubai, Australia or Hong Kong for all Smiles members when they purchase fuels using their Smiles card until July 31, 2008.

Those interested to become a Smiles member can drive into any of the participating Esso or Mobil service stations and pick up an application form. Smiles membership is FREE, and the Smiles Card can be used immediately to earn points.  Completed forms can be submitted to the stations, mailed or faxed to the Smiles Customer Service Centre at 03-7728 6225.  For more information on Smiles Driver Rewards, call 1-300-880-323 during business hours or visit www.exxonmobil.com/smilesmy.
