ASDA Card

My part time job is driving so with my personal mileage I do about 25,000 miles a year so I use a lot of fuel.
Almost 100 % is bought from ASDA using my ASDA Credit Card.
It is usually the cheapest fuel in town by 1 p or so but also when you pay by their Credit Card you get an extra 2p a Ltr. reduction. Right there , at the pump. ie If you put 30 ltrs in then you get an instant 60p back on your Bill,
I have a separate Flexi Account at Nationwide and a Direct Debit to pay the ASDA Card off in full every month. Savings over a year about £60.

    Me too. At my current local price of 91.9p per litre, 2p per litre off and the 0.5% cashback comes to a total discount of 2.86%.

    However, until 30 June, I will be using my new Morgan Stanley Platinum card, with its introductory 3% cashback rate. When this drops back to 1%, I will use the ASDA card for petrol again, but keep using the MSP card for shopping.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    I'm currently debating between this and a M&S card. the M&S card pays 1% cashback (or voucherback) for money spent on it in M&S, and 0.5% voucherback for money spent on it eleswhere. Does anyone know if the ASDA card pays straight ?% (not sure what % it actually is - anyone who can enlighten me, thanks) voucherback wherever you spend on it, or does it pay more when you use it at ASDA? I've searched and searched the smallprint & T&C on the website and the application leaflet I picked up instore, and it doesn't actually tell you the rate, just says you get 'points' and the T&C for the points will be sent to you with the card....call me a cynic but it's making me think there's something funny about this offer of points.
