Research Strategy
We first initiated a general search about the loyalty of rewards programs offered by Exxon Mobil. There was no information regarding the dividend rate of the program. Therefore, a mathematical calculation was done using the data available regarding points earned and how these were redeemed into money savings from purchases. Through research of notices made by ExxonsMobil and numerous news outlets, we were unable to find any evidence of any recognition awarded to ExxonMobil Rewards+ program. This is likely caused by how recently the program was implemented. After exhaustive research of platforms focused on reviews of customers such as Consumer Reports, CNET, and TrustPilot, we were unable to find reviews regarding the rewards program. However, there are reviews available about the app, which was developed mainly for customers to have access to the rewards program.
