I don't think there is any other difference. But if you're paying £2.95 to save 2.5p per litre on 50 litres (say) of fuel making £1.25 that doesn't seem a very good idea.0 -
I guess you could use a Santander 123 Credit Card in place of the unavailable Luma, That gives 3% Cashback on Petrol/Diesel, and 1% on general Supermarket transactions.
Keeping it simple...
- Buy £1000 of 3V cards using the Santander card = £10 cashback (assumed). (there are loads of other cards there which might also apply if you already shop with those retailers).
- Get Petrol or Diesel discount of £1/litre on 60 litres = £60 saving + 61p cashback on the remainder (maybe not worth the hassle).
- Spend the 3V cards on Elec/Gas and other on-line transactions.
Effective price = £24 for 60 litres = 40p per litre.
I only need to fill my car once a month, so I can see this being viable. (Not sure I could stand the hassle of doing it more often).
Can you fill petrol cans on Morrisons' forecourts?
Worth noting - you can accumulate the Fuelsaver vouchers over time, but each one is only valid for 63 days.0 -

You can fill petrol cans but the max amount of fuel you can buy in one transaction with fuel saver vouchers is 100 litres.
I want to know if they will allow you to fill 2 cars up at once if you have the other car ready behind at the pump.0 -
100 Litres is fine - that could take me to the best part of 2 months' diesel.0

You need this Credit card, but woops it isnt available. Wasted 2 minutes of my life watching some self glorified wannabe talking a load of ****
Ebay : fuel petrol vouchers , MUCH simpler & they also inform whats on offer on which supermarkets via the mad rush to sell current schemes.
Voucher search will give you all sorts of goodies too.
Heyyyyyyyyyyy I didnt need a silly video to tell you that
How'd you work that out?? As the OP stated in the video, you don't have to have the 4% Luma card, it still works without. Even just doing as he says and paying cash would save 26p a litre.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

Not forgetting collecting points the Morrisons fuel loyalty card. Another free fiver!! Worth it if you're buying fuel anyway.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

If you reduce your DD amount with the utility company to £1 a month, you'll keep that benefit, while then using the system to make "ad-hoc" payments to quell the inevitable underpayment.
Is it possible to specify an amount for a DD? Usually the amount is variable and the instruction remains with the originator, meaning that they have control over the amount claimed.Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

In this case, the DD amount is fixed and agreed between company & customer. If you make a large payment, they would certainly agree a reduced DD. (I suspect £1 is not worth their while, but i certainly had £5 for a while - npower).0

i think people are annoyed because they were made to watch the whole video and the guy seemed to ramble quite a bit before disclosing the information. Lots of suspense but the big reveal was a bit of a wet blanket which makes people annoyed.
Op could have summerised the requirements in 6-7 bullet points.0
