ABSA rewards

Good Morning I am disappointed that ASBA has taken SPAR off their rewards program. Some of us have to pass a Spar on our way home and cannot drive and extra 10 kms just to get rewards. What ABSA is doing is forcing us to change banks ,because we all know rewards is a new way of life in RSA ,thanks.
