Are you looking to save money on fuel when you’re on the road? Whether you’re travelling for business or pleasure, it’s important to get the best value for money. Although electric vehicles are becoming more popular, petrol cars remain the most popular choice for many long-distance travellers.
Fortunately, many big fuel companies offer loyalty programmes, such as rewards for customers that fill up with them regularly. This includes perks such as cheaper food and drinks. If you find yourself regularly visiting the same petrol station, it's definitely worth looking into what loyalty programmes they offer.
Esso, for example, runs a partnership with Nectar and the Tesco Clubcard. You can collect and spend Nectar points at many Esso locations, receiving 5p per litre of fuel for every 300 points or redeeming Nectar points you’ve collected at the Esso stations with partners. You can collect these points by putting a minimum of ten litres of fuel into your car and either paying through the Esso App or by scanning your Nectar card. For a limited time, Esso is also running a special bonus scheme that rewards you with double, four times, and six times the Nectar points respectively for your second, fourth, and sixth refills.
Shell runs a loyalty scheme called Shell Go+ that allows you to ‘earn visits instead of points’. By spending £10 or more on fuel, you’ll get money off fuel every ten visits. Additionally, you’ll receive 10% off food ranges on the go, hot drinks, Shell Helix Motor Oil, Shell Super Shine car wash or Quick wash, as well as ‘treats and surprises’ along the way.
BP also has a loyalty programme that allows you to earn points you can redeem on fuel, in-store, or with specific partners. You’ll earn one point for every pound spent in-store, one point for every litre of regular fuel, and two points for every litre of ultimate fuel.
Finally, Texaco has the Star Rewards programme. You’ll get one point for every litre of fuel purchased, worth 1p. You can then redeem 500 points to get a £5 reward. The points can be redeemed at M&S, Argos, John Lewis, and other stores. Alternately, you can also donate your balance to charity.
If you’re a regular on the road, these loyalty programmes are definitely worth looking into. They can help you save money on fuel, food, and car washes, as well as giving you the chance to redeem your points for gift cards or flights.
