I currently spend £2.5k+ on petrol monthly. That's over few vans and cars.

I do have a Shell points card, two of my other drivers have BP Nectar thing.

What's the best way to get the most of the rewards companies offer? Which one is the best/ which garage should we stick to?

Most of the fueling is done in Central London, so no cheap Asda garages etc unfortunately.

I would be interested to know about this. I spend about 1k a month on work fuel bills, something i had never really/had to consider/ed (albeit the milage has increased 4 fold this year due to expanding)

I love the 5 p off reciepts at tesco and the family does £51 pound shops regulary (sometimes splitting a £200 pound shop in to 4 rolleyes

I await the answers only PH can offer.

If these fuel bills are classed as inputs to your respective companies then you are able to claim 20% if you are vat registered and you follow the rules regards seperating personal use from business use.

Cash back credit cards.

My Egg one gives 1% back on any spend up to £20k a year.

yes Combining a reward-giving credit card with Nectar, Clubcard or similar is the best way to go unless you can claim it as business use, and then get the VAT back.

My old man always used to take lining rigs to Tesco whenever they needed filling up, £500 a pop onto the Clubcard, thank you very much hehe

I think Tesco CreditCard is your best best but it only if you then use your clubcard points on the 4x deals.

Nectar points gets you bugger all.

Have a look at the AmEx platinum credit card it gives tiered cashback up to 1.5% also no monthly fee as with Egg.
