KUALA LUMPUR, August 30 – A total of 100 Esso and Mobil customers were recently rewarded with a brand new Nokia X3 phone each after being selected as the early bird winners of the latest ‘400 Nokia Phones Smiles Promotion’.

At a recent prize giving ceremony at Menara ExxonMobil, Esso Malaysia Berhad Retail Business Director, Faridah Ali said, “We at Esso and Mobil are constantly finding ways to recognise and thank our loyal customers for their continuous support and to increase their satisfaction levels every time they spend with us. Hopefully, through this promotion, we’ve not only managed to put a smile on some of their faces, but also added value and mileage to our customers’ spending”.

Hamzah Mohamad Aziz, aged 41 from Alor Setar who was one of the early bird winners thanked Esso and Mobil for awarding him a new mobile phone. “I felt extremely happy but at the same time shocked when I was told that I had won a brand new Nokia phone. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Esso and Mobil for rewarding me for my loyalty”.

Hieu Kau Sern, 34, from Petaling Jaya added, “I’m thankful to Esso and Mobil for selecting me as one of the winners. I was actually looking for a new mobile phone and to be rewarded with this is just timely and I am grateful."

Through this ongoing ‘400 Nokia Phones Smiles Promotion’, Esso and Mobil will be giving away a total of 400 Nokia phones. With 100 units of Nokia X3 phones already given out to the early bird winners, customers can still participate to win the remaining 150 units of Nokia X6 and 150 units of Nokia Mini 97 phones.

To qualify and stand a chance to win one of these phones, customers simply need to swipe their Smiles cards when they fuel up at any Esso or Mobil service station nationwide. Every cumulative spend of RM30 on Synergy fuel entitles customers to one automatic entry - no forms, no slogan and no hassle to be eligible for the promotion. The more they pump, the higher chances they have of winning. The closing date for participation is 4 September 2010.

The Smiles Driver Rewards card is a free loyalty programme card accepted at about 560 Esso and Mobil service stations in Malaysia that enables customers to earn points from both Esso and Mobil service stations. Smiles Points will not expire for as long as customers earn points at least once a year. Smiles members may redeem their Smiles Points instantly for a wide variety of items at the stations, or exchange the Smiles Points for attractive household appliances, car accessories, lifestyle items and more. Every RM1 spent on Synergy fuel is equivalent to 1 Smiles Point.

To enjoy more great rewards and promotional offers, customers can visit any Esso or Mobil service station to sign-up as a Smiles member.
