AURA BUY INVEST DONATE


Aura Buy Invest Donate, one of Australia’s newest cash back reward programs, is thrilled to announce Shell Coles Express as its Exclusive Fuel Partner, in a new deal that will see Aura Members receive money back into their Aura Investment Account.

The partnership will provide Aura Members across the country with the opportunity to receive 3 cents per litre cash back reward via the Aura Buy Invest Donate App*.

Aura Members can register to redeem the fuel cash back reward daily. When combining this fuel cash back reward with existing Coles supermarket docket and Coles Express discounts this gives customers the option to save up to 17 cents per litre.^

Aura Buy Invest Donate Co-Founder and CEO Troy Zafer said the new partnership is a fantastic way for every day Australians to be rewarded for their purchasing loyalty and invest for their long-term financial security.

"We know that Australians are crying out for a better way to be rewarded when they make purchases with their favourite brands. We’re thrilled to partner with Viva Energy to provide our Members with a financial reward when they make purchases at Shell Coles Express. The 3 cents per litre cash back reward on their fuel purchase will be deposited into their Aura Investment Account, and can be invested in a selection of ETFs or withdrawn into their regular bank account. In addition to the cash back reward that an Aura Member receives on their fuel purchase, Aura will make a donation to the charity, sporting club or community group of the Aura Member’s choice," Mr Zafer said.

Jevan Bouzo, the Chief Executive Officer of Convenience and Mobility at Viva Energy (Shell’s Australian licensee) said "the new partnership would support its aim of fuelling Australians now and into the future. Viva Energy is the exclusive supplier of high-quality Shell fuels and lubricants in Australia, supplying approximately a quarter of the country’s liquid fuel requirements."
