Stagecoach has announced the launch of a new customer rewards scheme to help support ‘staycations,’ with special offers right across the country in the leisure sector including visitor attractions, places to eat out and hotels.

The new scheme, Stagecoach Rewards, will provide exclusive discounts to bus customers to encourage people to return to the things they enjoyed doing before the pandemic. The scheme will support local attractions and also retailers, with each of Stagecoach’s 17 regions regularly seeing new local offers as well as a range of discounts for national visitor attractions.

The launch of the new rewards scheme is designed to encourage people to make use of their local attractions, enjoy staycations and use sustainable and easy public transport for their journeys.

Carla Stockton-Jones, Interim Managing Director UK for Stagecoach, said: “Our services play a really important role in getting people back together and connecting them to the things they enjoy most, such as days out, shopping trips, meeting up with friends and family, nights away and meals out.

“We want to support our local attractions right across the country and help them to recover from the terrible impact of Covid-19. This new scheme will offer a range of discounts for customers to shop, eat out and visit tourist attractions in their local area, but will also provide choices for people wanting to take a longer distance day out or night away.

“It’s crucial that we now all work together more closely than ever before to support our local communities and help restart the economy.  Our bus services offer an easy, safe and environmentally friendly way to support the leisure sector and can help people get back to the things that they enjoy doing.”

Passengers can access the discounts by signing up to rewards.stagecoachbus.com to get a promotional voucher or code, which will entitle them to a discount when they present it to the retailer with a valid bus ticket.
