How to enroll and redeem Airtel Kenya’s Zawadi Points
Loyalty reward schemes have become popular among mobile service providers in Kenya; Safaricom’s Bonga point has seen customers redeem mobile phones, laptops, free airtime and data bundles depending on points gained. For each Kshs.10 used, customers are rewarded with 1bonga point; Airtel has unveiled its own reward scheme ‘Zawadi points’ to reward its customers for everything they do on Airtel’s network raging from voice calls, SMS, hama and data.
Airtel’s Zawadi points previously known as Rewardz gives Airtel customers who stay and use their services redemption prizes depending on the number of Zawadi points accrued. Re-branding Rewardz scheme to Zawadi points will accumulate points gained prior to re-branding and forward them to the new scheme; however, level points have been substituted with Customer status which gives customers with a higher status more points. Rewardz partners and Rewardz cards will no longer be available.
