Petrobras Premmia: Combustível

What the Premmia programme covers and who it suits

If you already buy fuel at Petrobras stations, the useful question is whether the points you collect are worth opening the app for. The listing describes Premmia as the loyalty programme for Postos Petrobras, and the app is where you follow your balance, look at offers and choose rewards.

The programme is built around fuel. Petrobras stations sell petrol, ethanol and other fuels, and points come from those purchases at participating sites. Other spending points is covered in the next section, but the listing treats the pump as the starting point.

Because the points are tied to a single station network, the programme mainly suits people who fill up at Petrobras sites regularly. Someone who buys fuel elsewhere would have no reason to collect Premmia points.

Earning Premmia points on oil changes and store purchases

Points come from more than fuel. The listing says an oil change at Lubrax+ counts, and so do purchases at BR Mania convenience stores. Both are presented as ways to add to a balance that already grows at the pump.

The programme also offers a multiplier. The listing says you can boost your points and earn up to four times as many, but only under the conditions the programme sets out. The app does not say what those conditions are beyond that line, so the multiplier should be read as conditional rather than automatic.

Taken together, a person who fuels up, changes oil at Lubrax+ and shops at BR Mania would collect points from three kinds of spending through one card-free balance in the app.

Redeeming points for discounts, products and tickets

The main use of a balance is redemption. The listing describes fuel discount coupons that can be claimed in the app and used at participating stations, along with offers at those same sites.

Points can also be exchanged for BR Mania products, Lubrax+ services and benefits from partners. Air miles, cinema tickets and event tickets are listed as options as well, but the listing says these depend on availability, so a particular reward may not always be on offer.

Between the fuel coupons and the partner benefits, the programme covers a range of everyday spending, from the car to the shop to a night out. The listing does not put a value on each redemption, so the exchange rate is something to check in the app itself.

Paying for fuel through the app

The app can also be used to pay for fuel. According to the listing, a payment made through the Premmia app adds points automatically on eligible transactions.

The practical effect is that you do not need to type your CPF, the Brazilian taxpayer number, into the card machine to be credited. The listing treats that as a convenience of paying in the app.

The points are only added on eligible transactions, so the listing's wording suggests that not every payment method or purchase will earn points.

Clube Premmia and extra benefits

Clube Premmia is described as an optional extra. Members get access to more coupons, more benefits and more chances to earn points, according to the terms of the club.

The listing does not say what the club costs or how it is joined beyond the statement that it is open to participants in the programme. Its benefits are tied to its own conditions, so anyone considering it should read those terms in the app before relying on them.
