Overview
- The operator confirmed that DeutschlandCard will cease all business activity on November 30, 2026, after announcing a phased shutdown in April 2026.
- Esso will stop taking part earlier on October 28, 2026, ending the ability to earn or redeem points at its petrol stations.
- Collected points do not automatically disappear at shutdown and remain valid under the program’s participation terms for up to 36 months from the posting date.
- Customers can currently use points at Esso, buy items in the Prämien‑Shop, or convert balances into universal vouchers, though the Prämien‑Shop often yields lower per‑point value than vouchers or fuel redemptions.
- Users should check partner‑specific deadlines and act quickly to convert or spend points because partner exits and the phased wind‑down have already reduced practical earning and redemption options.
