We get it, times are hard (aren’t they always?) and now more than ever you’re thinking to yourself “I really need to start saving money”. For the most part, that voice in your head has a point, saving money is important, regardless of the times.
But even as you work towards ensuring you have adequate funds to support your retirement, pay off a mortgage, or to put a love one through school, it’s good to know that treating yourself once in a while is just as important as saving.
Don’t agree? Maybe these five reasons can help convince you…
#1 You get to scratch that retail therapy itch

“Scratching an itch doesn’t feel good at all,” says nobody, ever. If you’ve ever wanted something so bad but had to hold yourself back, then you know the torment it can put you through. But it really is okay to indulge in some occasional retail therapy. Just don’t spend more than what you can afford.
#2 You get new stuff

Anybody else feel a split-second pang of guilt after splurging on something? If you answered no, then lucky you! But if you answered yes, then fear not, the guilt will pass after about two seconds when you realise how glad and happy you are for buying that cool-looking and practical new gadget or that gorgeous new dress. Guilt? What guilt?
#3 That new stuff smell

Whether it’s a new phone, a book, or a car, having new stuff means getting to enjoy that wonderful new stuff smell. Most people say it’s just the smell of chemicals that didn’t have a chance to air out, but we call it the smell of joy and happiness.

Who doesn’t like the smell of new stuff? It’s so good there’s even a “new car scent” air freshener.
#4 You feel like there’s a reward for your hard work at work or at school

Let’s face it, you won’t always receive a reward for giving a 110% at work. That’s just life. That being said however, gifting yourself with something for successfully completing a project can help motivate you to keep up the good work.
#5 You get reward points that reward you with more cool stuff

If you’re going to spend that hard-earned cash of yours then of course you want to get the most bang for your buck. There’s nothing kiasu about that, it just makes sense, which is why the Petron Miles Privilege Card is the best thing you can get for yourself.
Apart from earning three Miles Points for every litre spent on Blaze 97 and Blaze 100, and two Miles Points for every litre spent on Blaze 95, Diesel Max, and Turbo Diesel Euro 5, conversion of your points for Petron Blaze fuel is equally generous with more tiers and less points required for redemption!
Good on fuel? Redeem RM1 for every 100 points for groceries and driving essentials at Petron Treats Mart! But there’s really no hurry to redeem your points! If you are in it for bigger rewards, you’ll be glad to know that the more you accumulate your points, the more you can redeem. For example, 3,000 points will get you RM45 instead of RM30! Plus, the Petron Miles Card is free for life with no expiry period on your points! All you gotta do is just make a fuel purchase within 12 months.
You aren’t just restricted to redeeming your Petron Miles Points for petrol or groceries at the Petron Treats Mart either! With merchant tie-ups, your Petron Miles Privilege Card becomes “Miles Better”, rewarding you with discounts on Zalora and on Sunway Lagoon tickets, and more. Plus, you can take advantage of exclusive Petron Miles partnerships with Marvel, AirAsia BIG, Enrich, Zalora, Uber, Kurnia Insurance, and others for better privileges.
You can also convert your Petron Miles Points for points with any of the following PMiles Alliance Partners:
- 100 MAS Enrich Miles Points with 400 Petron Miles Points
