Even in times of unstable economy and crisis, this bank was able to maintain the savings of citizens, which proved its worth and earned respect. Over the years, he continued to develop the segment of his services for both individuals and legal entities, creating the most favorable and comfortable conditions for cooperation.
So today, another product is offered by Sberbank - the “Thank you” campaign, which any holder of a valid card from this financial institution can connect.
What kind of program is this?
The “Thank you” bonus offer is specially designed to save money on the card holder. After purchasing goods in stores, the customer receives in the form of bonuses in an additional account 0.5% of each purchase. Accumulation occurs imperceptibly for the holder, however, in a couple of months the amount can be significantly pleasing.

How to connect "Thank you"?
In order to become a member of the bonus program, it is not necessary to contact the bank branch and sign
additional agreements, everything can be done independently. To do this, you can use self-service devices - an ATM or a terminal - and select the “Thank you” service. Then, clearly following the step-by-step instructions, familiarize yourself with the rules and confirm the consent to participate by entering the SMS code.
You can also activate the “Thank you” service from Sberbank in the Sberbank Online system by selecting the “My bonuses” section in the client’s menu. For the same cardholders who use “Mobile Bank” to manage their own account, it is also not difficult to activate the bonus program. For them it will be enough to send a message to number 900 with the text "Thank you" and the last 4 digits of the active card. And then send the confirmation code received to the same number.
However, if the above methods are difficult for a person, and he cannot figure out how to connect “Thank you” from Sberbank, it is better to contact the nearest branch of a financial institution and make activation with a qualified employee.
What you need to know about the thank you bonus program
Many customers have problems with banking operations, and the Thank You program is not an exception. And all this happens due to the fact that not every card holder is responsible for the recommendations for use. So, for example, some do not know that bonuses for the purchase are accrued within 5 working days, but if the purchase amount has exceeded the threshold of 15,000, then bonus units will be credited for 40 days (working).
Also, before connecting “Thank you” from Sberbank, it should be remembered that only those operations that are equivalent to cashless payments for goods at a regular outlet are bonus. And, for example, the repayment of fines, tuition and other bills are not subject to bonuses. In addition, for active participants in the program, increased bonus rates are provided, which they can also use at their discretion.
How and where can I spend "Thank you" bonuses?
The advantage of bonuses is that it is always nice to spend money on purchases without removing them from the monthly budget. Each bonus unit in the stores of partners, which are already more than 10,000 in Russia, is equivalent to one ruble discount. Thus, if you exchange the accumulated points when making a purchase, the discount on the product can be up to 99%. So, for example, if the cost of the necessary thing is 500 rubles, and on the buyer's card the same or a large amount of points, then only 1 ruble will need to be paid.
The client should know all this information before connecting “Thank you” from Sberbank so that the comfortable use of the program is not overshadowed by unforeseen problem situations.
