Does anyone know whether the Asda Bonus card can be used to buy petrol?

It says "may be used for in-store purchases in full or part payment (excluding third party concessions or products, petrol and lottery tickets) at any time."
so no.

also the bonus expires after 31st December so don't get more than you can use between now & then.

We got one today, and when loading it with £144 I got called "crafty" & was asked if I was buying one every day & in every store! :embarasse

I can't see any onerous restrictions on the Wilkinson savings card, but I have a question.

If I'm going to spend £20 (or more), is there anything to stop me buying 19 x £1 stamps in one go, then claiming a free pound? Effectively 5% off a £20 purchase.

Hi, does anyone know if you can spend your Asda savings in several transactions, or if you have to use up the whole amount in one shop? I know this used to be the case previously, but can't find this information anywhere now...?
Thanks a lot

I asked this at Customer Services last weekend & they said you didn't have to use it in one go, & that the remaining balance would stay on the card.

Does anyone know if you have to use a debit card to buy them or can you use a credit card? That way I could get cashback on the credit card as well as the bonus?

Good point. I think i'll use debit card. You never know nowadays with credit card and cash advance charges.

You can use a credit card - i use my tesco clubcard CC haha and get Clubcard points at ASDA - ironic huh - the £6 added to £144 lasts all year apparenely - i bought 2 last 2 years and used into January - very tempting to treat it as non money and overspend though

I thought Sainsbury's did a saver scheme with stamps. Anyone have any details about this please?

Thanks

I have just loaded two cards with £144 pounds each, so hope to make £12, but I am not sure what "if you redeem your card between bonus day and 31 december, we'll give you money towards your shopping" means??? can someone tell me.
