Each finance transaction will increase the funds available on the card with a range of ways for dealers to increase the value of their rewards, including gambling them on a web-based game of Black Jack at the MotorV8 portal.
MotoNovo has grown its market share of the independent sector from roughly 3% five years ago to 10% at present and the changes to its dealer reward programme follows recent news of a £1.8m investment by parent WesBank and plans to expand the company.

However, writing in Motor Finance, Peter McDonnell, chief executive of reward group Cordoba Rewards, has warned incentives such as cash, vouchers or loaded credit cards could now come under greater scrutiny of the Bribery Act.
