SINGAPORE – Vulnerable Singaporeans will continue to enjoy savings on daily essential items such as rice and eggs until Dec 31, 2026, after FairPrice Group (FPG) on Dec 18 announced an extension of its daily discount schemes.
The extension will cover discounts for seniors, Pioneer (PG) and Merdeka Generation (MG), and Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) Blue and Orange card holders, whose households have a lower monthly income.
The discounts were supposed to end on Dec 31, 2025.
FPG was the first and only retailer to launch its discount scheme for CHAS Orange card holders in October 2024. The discount scheme is funded by FPG’s philanthropic arm, FairPrice Foundation. The other discounts are funded by FPG.
The discount scheme for CHAS Blue card holders was introduced in 2021.
Households with a monthly income per person ranging from $1,501 to $2,300 are eligible to apply for the orange card. Households with a monthly income per person of $1,500 and below can apply for the blue card.
To get the discounts under the schemes, eligible customers have to verify their information on the FPG app with Myinfo via Singpass, and use the app to pay for their purchases at checkout.
Alternatively, they can present either their physical or digital membership cards (the latter are on the Singpass app) to staff at cashier counters or self-checkout counters.
The discounts are valid for up to $200 per transaction per day.
