Rome, 25 September 2020 – Swipe the card (also to buy sweets) and win. There are up for grabs three thousand thousand euros of ‘super caschback’ for the first 100,000 who use paper the most. And no, it’s not the rich who are benefited: the number of operations counts, not the number of payment. In short, 5 coffees are equivalent to 5 luxury bags.
The project to encourage the use of electronic money it is central to the government. And sources close to Palazzo Chigi return to cashless specifying that the objectives of the operation, which Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte seems to care in particular, are “the modernization of the country changing consumer payment habits, in line with Europe; a more digital, faster, simpler and more transparent system “.
And therefore, to promote the cashless, the government has allocated 3 billion euros per year. Those taking part in the initiative will benefit, government sources explain, from “10% ‘cashback’, ie a refund of 10% of purchases made with electronic money”. “With a expenditure ceiling of 3 thousand euros and therefore with a maximum cashback refund of 300 euro (a figure that may increase because as a precaution it is expected that all participants will reach the maximum spending. If this were not the case, there will be more resources that can raise the cashback over 300 euros); 50 Million Euros in Prizes with the Receipt Lottery (only with payment card). With single prizes of up to 5 million euros “, conclude the sources.
Yesterday the premier Giuseppe Conte he had specified: “This is a reform on which I have personally committed myself. From December 1st there is a 10% refund on what you spend, up to a maximum cost of 3000 euros: the more you use the card, the more you earn. But not only. The famous Befana bonus, which from today will be called super cashback, will be 3000 euros per year. We renamed it this way because – just like cashback – it will be refunded every six months. The 100,000 citizens who will use the card the most – that is, they will make more transactions regardless of the amount spent – will have a refund of 3000 euros per year. In addition, there will be up to 50 million euros up for grabs with the receipt lottery, only for those who use electronic money “.
