earn points from petrol

1977pjc

Hi,

Can anyone help?

Seeing that from October Sainsbury's is cutting the amount of nectar points it is giving you on petrol, for 2points for ever pound spent. To 1 point for ever litre spent.

I'm now trying to work out who is offering the best deal on points on petrol.

I have Sainsburys, Tesco, and Shell close.

I think Tesco, and Shell kind of work out the same i think.

Any ideas anyone?:rolleyes:

Cheers

2 points per pound = 2p cash = 8p in deals PER POUND SPENT!!!

Basically the reward rate on Tesco petrol is now 8 times more generous than Sainsburys petrol if you use your points towards Deals.

i go into the nearest petrol station, when i need fuel.

i dont see the point of spending £5 to save 1p per litre.

i had 5p off coupon for sainsburys this week, i put in £37 and got £1.90 off

It makes sense for me.

Tesco Yarmouth has the cheapest petrol in the area, plus points.
I work in Yarmouth anyway, so why wouldn't I fill up there.

I use my tesco clubcard for petrol (and every other) purchase. I pay transfer whatever I have spent on it at the end of each day via internet banking, my own way of earning the most points I can for deals.

Is this point promotion on every tesco petrol purchase? If i earn 2 points per litre then a full tank, around £45 would be 90 points plus whatever bonus I get on spending on the card, I think its another 1 points per £2 = 22ish points. Total would be 112 points x 4 for deals = £4.48 per tank OR about 10%!!!! My maths is rubbish - hope this makes sense.

May not be any use, but Morrisons have a 'Morrisons Miles' reward card. Petrol is around 95.9, so you would have to spend £319.35 to get £5 back, so not as good as some others.

Clubcard Plus is one of the credit cards, not a bonus - Broke Student is counting one extra point per £1. You earn your normal 1 point per £1, then whatever extra you get from your credit card. On the older ones like mine you get something like 3 points for every pound spent in Tesco, but only 1 point for every £2 spent elsewhere, but with the newer ones I think you just get 1 point per £2 spent anywhere.

So if you spent £45, you'd get 45 'normal points', then paid using your Tesco credit card you'd get 22 extra points. So you'd get 67p, or 268p of Deals vouchers - just under 6% back.

I have one of the older ones too faithless, wonder why they arent so generous with the new ones?
