Which Petrol Stations accept Contactless Credit/Debit Cards?

If I pay by contactless I get 5% cash back so which petrol stations accept contactless in Birmingham?


Also how do I search for shops online that have the contactless facilities local to me?

    Re your 2nd question I don't believe there is a way to search for shops who have contactless.

    Why bother with that, just go about your daily routine.

    I know morrisons have it.

    TSB until the end of the year are doing a promotion of 5% back on all contactless payments made at retailers tills.

    So I would assume the OP is trying to get back £1.50 on every £30 fill up.

    OP, Sainsburys are not yet contactless. They hope to be fully up and running by Spring 2016, so cross them of your list.

    Just a thought, Morrison and Waitrose have contactless points in their stores as I have used them. Perhaps their petrol stations do as well.

    I like to avoid supermarket petrol cause the last time I put supermarket petrol in my tank my car has been running rough on it.


    Hence I would like to prefer BP or Shell or better.


    Doesn't Shell do contactless? They are cheaper than BP in my area.


    Yeah 5% cash back is equivalent to 5-6p off a litre, which makes it enough savings for supermarket carrier bags :)
