Looks like following Countdown pulling out, AA SmartFuel is shutting down.

I also got an email from Countdown:

Everyday Rewards is coming 1 February 2024

We are launching a new loyalty programme early next year that will replace Onecard and we’re proud to announce bp as our foundation partner.

Sounds like without BP and Contdown, AA SmartFuel aren't able to continue.

I feel like a few loyalty/discount type programmes have been shutting down recently. From bigger ones like this, to smaller ones like the stamp cards you sometimes get at food places.

I guess they're a way of addressing inflation by cutting costs instead of raising sticker prices, which the reptilian part of our brains notice more readily
