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’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their fuel purchase will be deposited into their Aura Investment Account, and can be invested in a selection of ETFs or withdrawn into their regular bank account.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.
