GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) appear to be launching a rewards programme in March.

From what I understand, signing up will start you on Bronze tier and you progress up to Silver and Gold.

Bronze tier gets you 1 free on board beverage, 1 40% off a ticket voucher and 10% off on board food and drink.
Silver (50 points) goes up to 15% off on board food/drink; Gold (120 points) 20% off.  Silver and Gold earn you free tickers, lounge access and Pullman dining offer.

You will earn points by booking via GWR.com & GWR app.  10 points for spending £30-69.99 per day and 20 points for >£70.
PAYG▸ (Pay as you go) points are earned depending on your weekly capped spend.
Points reset on the anniversary of your sign up.

Interesting, although I've not seen anything about it online or on my GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) app yet.   Is the launch official yet or is that soon to come?

I am ... tempted as a moderator ... to suggest that this thread / story should be starting life in our "Rumour Mill" ...  in fact just for the moment I will move it there ....

SWR» (South Western Railway - about) rewards have officially launched, so I suspect it’s got good weight to it

Sounds interesting, sadly too late for me having just spent over £200 on upcoming trips.
Out of interest what is your source for this story as there doesn't appear to be anything publicly shared about it

From GWR staff.  There's been an internal brief.

It'd be good to bring GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) season ticket holders on board.

Well I seem to remember a statement that they would come up eventually with something new after the old "Forward" loyalty scheme was closed.

Taken a bloody long time though ...

How does this fit with the 'End of franchises' thing. SWR» (South Western Railway - about) have just launched their version, yes?
