Magnet is one of the largest retail chains in Russia. It has a widespread presence across the country, especially in smaller towns and rural areas. The stores offer a wide range of food products, household goods, and even their own private label. The company is known for its low-price strategy and active expansion.
In recent years, Magnet has been actively developing online sales and delivery services. For customers, it is beneficial to activate the Magnet card. This allows participation in the company’s loyalty program and access to numerous benefits.
To access the functionality of the loyalty card, registration is required. An essential condition is providing a mobile phone number for verification. Don’t want to or can’t use your phone? The SMSBOWER service comes to the rescue. Here you can buy a virtual number for registration with Magnet. It is low-cost, and the purchase can be completed in just a few clicks.
You can shop without a card, but it’s important to understand that this won’t allow you to take advantage of numerous bonuses. Activating the Magnet card online on the website provides the following benefits:
If you activate the Magnet card using the card number, you can accrue bonuses as part of the loyalty program. Bonuses are valid for 12 months, after which they expire. The card can be issued as a physical card or virtually in the app. You can get it completely free at any store. An alternative option is to register it in the mobile app.
There are some rules to consider. To use the card, it must first be activated. There are several options available, which we will discuss in detail.
Simply ask the cashier for assistance. You will need to provide a phone number for linking. Once the employee completes the registration, a message will be sent to your phone.
