What is Esso Smiles Driver Rewards™ programme ?
Esso Smiles Driver Rewards is a driver's rewards programme that rewards loyal consumers (you) for spending at Esso service stations in Singapore.
What is this new programme change?
From 1 October 2025, Esso Smiles Private Hire cardholders will no longer earn Smiles points for purchases. Instead, you will receive monthly eVouchers offering greater and more immediate fuel savings. Each month, you will receive 5 eVouchers of $5 off $60 gross spend and 15 eVouchers of $3 off $40 gross spend. These eVouchers are automatically issued via the Esso app on the first working day of each month.
Why am I no longer receiving Smiles points?
Smiles points issuance has been discontinued for Esso Smiles Private Hire cardholders since 1 October 2025, so the Esso Smiles Private Hire Card can provide higher-value fuel savings via monthly eVouchers instead.
Why was I not informed about the change to the Esso Smiles Private Hire programme?
Information about the new Esso Smiles Private Hire programme is made available through Esso service stations, the Esso Smiles website, the Esso app, SMS and the official Esso Singapore Facebook page.
Will my existing Smiles points be removed?
Smiles points accumulated before 1 October 2025 will remain valid and can be redeemed until 31 March 2026. After that, any unredeemed points will be forfeited. We recommend using your remaining points before the deadline to redeem rewards via the Esso app.

What new vouchers will I receive under the updated Esso Smiles Private Hire programme?
At the first working day of each month, you will receive 5 vouchers of $5 off $60 gross spend, and 15 vouchers of $3 off $40 gross spend.
When will the vouchers be issued?
On the first working day of every month, vouchers will be automatically issued to your account via the Esso app.

No action is required. As long as you remain eligible under the Esso Smiles Private Hire Card programme, the vouchers will be issued automatically.
How long are the vouchers valid for?
The validity of each voucher is stated on the eVoucher itself. Please refer directly to the eVouchers via the Esso app or the SMS eVoucher link sent to your registered mobile number for expiry details.
