In Portugal, knowing how to shop smartly can make a big difference—especially with programs like the Pingo Doce loyalty card. At Immo Lusitania, we believe in helping not just with real estate, but also with real-life tips that help expats and new residents thrive. One clever strategy that’s gained popularity lately? Using Pingo Doce promotions to save big on both fuel and groceries—especially if you’re a couple or family.
Let’s break down how this works, and why it’s an especially handy tip for expats relocating to Portugal.
What Is the Pingo Doce Weekend Fuel Promotion?
Pingo Doce regularly runs a popular weekend promotion that gives back to loyal shoppers. Here’s how it typically works:
- Spend €100 or more at Pingo Doce during a valid weekend campaign.
- Receive €20 in fuel vouchers for BP fuel stations.
- Get €20 credited to your Pingo Doce loyalty card for future grocery shopping.
These campaigns usually happen on designated weekends and are advertised in-store and on the Pingo Doce website.
How Couples and Families Maximize the Offer
Many households are discovering a clever way to double the benefits of this promotion:
- Each adult signs up for a separate Pingo Doce loyalty card.
- Each person makes a separate €100+ purchase on their own card during the promotion.
- Each person receives €20 in fuel and €20 on their loyalty card.
That’s €40 in fuel + €40 in groceries back for a couple shopping smartly.
⚠️ Pro Tip: You must ensure that each card is registered under a unique account and each purchase is separate. Combining receipts will not qualify.
Why This Matters for Expats
If you’ve just moved to Portugal or are exploring the country as a future home, small money-saving tips like these can make the transition smoother:
- Keep your weekly costs down while adjusting to local prices.
- Learn how locals shop, live, and save.
- Access both urban convenience and countryside affordability.
It’s not just about fuel or groceries—it’s about feeling at home in Portugal.
