Turkey Loyalty Market Size & Forecast by Spend Value Across 100+ KPIs by Program Type, Channel Mix, Sector, Embedded Loyalty Penetration, and Platform Spend Segmentation - Databook Q2 2026 Update

The loyalty market in Turkey is expected to grow by 16.2% annually, reaching US$1.14 billion by 2026.

The loyalty market in the country has experienced robust growth during 2021-2025, achieving a CAGR of 17.9%. This upward trajectory is expected to continue, with the market forecast to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2026 to 2030. By the end of 2030, the loyalty market is projected to expand from its 2025 value of US$987.1 million to approximately US$1.94 billion.

Key Trends and Drivers

Shift loyalty from points-only rewards to paid membership and retention economics

• Turkey’s e-commerce loyalty model is moving beyond campaign-led discounts toward paid membership programs that bundle delivery, cashback, entertainment, and payment benefits. Hepsiburada Premium is the clearest verified example: the company identifies Premium as its subscription-based loyalty program and reports that Premium members receive benefits such as free delivery, cashback, campaign access, and streaming-related privileges. More recently, Hepsiburada’s Q2 2025 results linked the increase in “other revenue” partly to growth in Premium subscription revenues, showing that loyalty is now being treated as a recurring revenue and retention lever rather than only a promotional cost.
• High customer acquisition costs, frequent price comparisons, and weaker discretionary purchasing power are pushing marketplaces to lock in repeat buyers. Hepsiburada’s own filing frames Premium as central to “nurturing loyalty,” noting that members shop more frequently than before joining the program. This is important in Turkey because large marketplaces must defend engagement while consumers remain value-sensitive and merchants look for platforms that can deliver repeat demand rather than one-off campaign spikes.
• Paid loyalty is likely to intensify, but with tighter economics. Programs that combine free or faster delivery, payment-linked benefits, and partner perks will gain more attention than simple points programs. However, the model will remain selective: platforms will need to prove that subscription benefits lift order frequency enough to offset delivery subsidies and cashback costs. This will favor players with logistics, payments, and merchant ecosystems under the same roof.

Turn grocery loyalty into an omnichannel, wallet-linked engagement layer

• Food retail loyalty in Turkey is becoming more tightly connected to online grocery, payment services, and store-level convenience. Migros’ 9M 2025 interim report shows that online channels accounted for 20.4% of sales excluding tobacco and alcoholic beverages, while the number of stores serving online rose significantly year-on-year. The same report lists Migros subsidiaries covering online food retail, payment, and electronic money services through Moneypay, logistics, retail media, and corporate payment services. This indicates that grocery loyalty is increasingly being embedded into a broader digital retail infrastructure rather than being limited to supermarket cards.
• Turkey’s grocery retailers are operating in a market where consumers remain promotion-sensitive, but retailers also need richer first-party customer relationships. Online grocery expansion gives retailers more behavioral signals across baskets, delivery locations, frequency, and payment preferences. Migros’ continued investment in IT, self-checkouts, electronic shelf labels, R&D, distribution centers, and online-channel expansion points to a loyalty model increasingly supported by digital infrastructure and operational data.
• Grocery loyalty will likely become more personalized and more operationally integrated. Retailers with payment arms, delivery networks, store density, and retail-media capabilities will be better placed to move from broad discounts to targeted offers, app-based missions, wallet-linked rewards, and supplier-funded promotions. The trend should intensify as grocery remains a high-frequency category, but the margin pressure in food retail will keep rewards focused on measurable repeat purchases rather than expensive blanket incentives.

Expand bank-led loyalty into daily-life payment apps and merchant ecosystems

• Turkey’s bank-card loyalty market is becoming more app-centric and merchant-network driven. Garanti BBVA’s 2025 integrated annual report shows that Garanti BBVA Payment Systems serves more than 600,000 merchants and more than 25 million cards, while Bonus cardholders can earn points and use installment benefits at Bonus merchants. The report also states that BonusFlaş is being renewed with more personalized and AI-powered features, with the aim of turning the app beyond a payment tool into a personal assistant that delivers context-relevant offers.
• Banks in Turkey continue to use credit-card rewards, installment options, POS networks, and merchant campaigns as customer-retention tools. The driver has intensified because merchants need traffic and conversion support, while banks need fee income, card usage, and digital engagement. Garanti BBVA’s 2025 report also highlights retail-card digital experience improvements and premium card privileges, showing that rewards are being combined with security, app-based campaign access, lifestyle privileges, and differentiated card propositions.
• Bank-led loyalty will remain a core pillar of Turkey’s loyalty market, but competition will shift from standalone points to relevance, merchant coverage, and digital journeys. Banks with large acquiring networks and strong mobile apps will be able to deliver more targeted rewards at the point of spending. At the same time, fintech wallets and marketplace wallets will pressure banks to make rewards easier to discover, redeem, and combine with merchant offers.

Tighten loyalty-card governance as regulators focus on verification and personal data use

• A new compliance dimension has emerged for Turkey’s loyalty programs. In February 2026, Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority issued a principal decision on loyalty card programs, specifically addressing cases where a customer’s mobile phone number or loyalty card number is used by a third party at checkout without proper verification. The decision requires the practice to be brought into compliance, making verification and consent controls more important for food, cosmetics, technology, DIY, apparel, and other loyalty-heavy sectors.
• Loyalty programs in Turkey often rely on phone numbers, app IDs, card numbers, purchase histories, and promotional consent. As retailers push personalization, wallet-linked rewards, and one-to-one campaigns, regulators are paying closer attention to whether the person receiving the reward or discount is the actual data subject. The KVKK decision directly reflects complaints and reviews around third-party use of loyalty identifiers, which raises the risk of unlawful processing and personal data breaches.
• This trend will intensify in the near term as retailers, banks, and wallet providers update checkout verification, app authentication, consent flows, and data-governance controls. Loyalty operators may face higher compliance costs, but better verification should improve trust and reduce misuse of loyalty accounts. The most advanced programs will likely move toward app-based authentication, OTP-based redemption, tokenized IDs, and clearer customer consent journeys.

Competitive Landscape

Over the next 2-4 years, competition is likely to intensify rather than consolidate quickly. Banks will defend their position through merchant networks, installment rewards, and wallet-based campaigns, while retailers and marketplaces will push paid loyalty, delivery benefits, wallet integration, and personalized offers. Regulatory scrutiny will also rise: Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Authority issued a 2026 principle decision on misuse of loyalty card or mobile-number identifiers at checkout, which will make authentication, consent, and data governance more central to loyalty design. Programs with payments, verified identity, and high-frequency spending categories will be better positioned.

Current State of the Market

• Turkey’s loyalty program market is highly competitive and increasingly shaped by three overlapping ecosystems: retailer/e-commerce loyalty, bank-card rewards, and travel-linked loyalty. Competition is no longer limited to traditional points collection; it is shifting toward app-based engagement, paid membership, embedded payments, and merchant-funded campaigns. Hepsiburada’s Premium program shows how e-commerce players are using subscription loyalty to increase order frequency, while Migros is strengthening grocery loyalty through online food retail, MoneyPay, logistics, and retail-media assets. Banks remain structurally important because installment culture, card rewards, POS networks, and wallet apps are deeply embedded in consumer spending behavior.

Key Players and New Entrants

• Key loyalty competitors include Hepsiburada, Trendyol, Migros, CarrefourSA, Turkish Airlines’ Miles&Smiles, Pegasus BolBol, Garanti BBVA Bonus/BonusFlaş, Yapı Kredi World, İş Bankası Maximum, Akbank Axess, and wallet/payment players such as MoneyPay and Hepsipay. The most notable recent market change is Kaspi.kz becoming the controlling shareholder of Hepsiburada in January 2025, adding a fintech-super-app owner to Turkey’s e-commerce loyalty field. This creates potential pressure on local competitors because Kaspi brings experience in the marketplace, payments, consumer finance, and app-based engagement.

Recent Launches, Partnerships, Mergers, and Acquisitions

• Recent competitive activity points to loyalty becoming more infrastructure-led. Migros established Moneypay Finansal Teknoloji ve Yapay Zeka A.Ş. in March 2025 for corporate payment services, expanding the retailer’s payment ecosystem. Garanti BBVA reported 2025 upgrades to BonusFlaş, including more personalized campaign discovery, QR/NFC wallet capabilities, and integrations such as Borusan ENBW’s 5 Şarj membership flow. Hepsiburada’s acquisition by Kaspi.kz is the clearest consolidation event, while Hepsiburada Premium continued to act as a retention lever within the marketplace model.
