Got a 3,000‑Ruble Gift Card from Pyaterochka – Thanks a Lot!

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was scrolling through the Pyaterochka app when a promo popped up promising a 3,000‑ruble gift card. I tossed in my address and phone, waited about four weeks, and finally got the card in the mail. It knocked a solid chunk off our grocery bill and made me feel a lot more confident shopping there, even though I wish the reward could've been delivered digitally and faster.

Hey there, how's it going? Long time no see 😊

Every now and then I swing by a Pyaterochka. Honestly, I’ve never been the type to get all worked up over the tiny promos they throw our way.

I’ve never actually seen anyone win anything from those “special offers.” Most of the time the so‑called “freebies” are just baked into the price we all pay every day. It’s hard to imagine the chain pulling cash out of pure profit for a pseudo‑contest. As the saying goes, if there’s no one to take the bait, the whole thing falls flat. Shoppers are lazy by nature, so you have to nudge them with discounts and bonuses to get them back more often.

Anyway, I had the app installed, so I started scanning my receipts. A few of the campaigns gave me nothing more than a pat on the back. But the “Opening the Dacha Season” promo actually hit the jackpot for me. I got an email saying I’d won a 3,000‑ruble gift card.

To claim it, I had to reply with my address and phone number – which I did. Then they told me the card would show up at the post office in 2–3 weeks. Huh, interesting 😂

Four weeks rolled by and I was already forgetting about it. Then a text popped up saying the card had arrived. I sprinted to the post office. They don’t drop it in your mailbox; they hand it over at the main post office. I was given a registered letter, and inside was the coveted prize.

Petroshka store gift card review The app doesn’t show the card balance – you have to check it at checkout. The card comes with a tiny instruction sheet that’s dead simple to follow.

Petroshka store gift card reviewI decided to put it to the test that very evening. I got to the store about 15 minutes before closing so the cashiers wouldn’t be swamped. New stuff always makes them a bit nervous, and they’ll take a moment before you’re done and head home with your groceries.

So I grabbed a handful of everyday items – the stuff I usually buy. When I handed over the card, the cashier looked genuinely surprised. Apparently no one in that Pyaterochka had used a card like this before me. Her eyes widened when she checked the balance. The screen flashed: 30,000.

But the little guide says one ruble equals ten points. So you just drop a zero and you’ve got the 3,000 rubles they promised. Honestly, why not make one point equal one ruble? It’s confusing for both the shopper and the cashier.

Almost all the points count toward the purchase; you just need to chip in an extra 1.5–2 rubles and you’re good to go.

In the days that followed I burned through the remaining bonus points so the card wouldn’t just sit there. I bought the usual groceries – toothpaste, sunflower oil, soap, toilet paper, canned goods, spices – everything I’d buy anyway.

All things considered, this little surprise gave me a nice boost of good vibes and made me trust the Pyaterochka chain a bit more. It’s cool to see them run these kinds of promos. Hats off to the marketing team – it really does crank up shopper demand.
