Does anyone have a view on the best loyalty scheme out there, for either money off fuel, or a decent


I'm probably starting a new job shortly, where I'm getting a card for fuel, and I will be doing a lot of miles about 40k a year... I was hoping to find out if it's worth joining a scheme, where I could get some money off fuel for my own car, or against something useable

It is a company fuel card I get, so I can't use another and claim it back, it will need to be something to swipe as well as this one.

Redeemed against useable things rather than gimicky one off things

Anyone any views?

thanks

Hope that you can use the card at a supermarket and collect their reward points.

I am sure that the Revenue was going after employees who were picking up Air Miles and like a while ago.

The Shell loyalty cards aren't too bad.

Tesco is 1 points for every £2 spend - 0.5%
But converting your Tesco points into deal can give you 3x facevalue of the Tesco coupon.

Shell is 1 points every litre bought (2 points if it is V-Power) - About 0.6-0.7%, or you can claim airmiles instead. But not the best value.

Nectar points are not too great - 500 points for £2.50. So, 0.5% again.


Best value is collecting Tesco points and using it for other deals through their coupon exchange program.

Where is your company fuel card for or is it an open one?

HI is that with their standard club card, as opposed to the credit card scheme they do?

Yes.

Pretty sure you have to pay with the credit card to get the extra points.

You need their credit card to get extra points, but the deals are available just using club card.

I do not believe you can use a loyalty scheme card along with the company fuel card because you are not paying for the fuel. Hopefully somebody will prove me wrong as I got a company fuel card last weekend.....

Yeah you're talk rubbish... wink

I've got a fuel card for the works truck and I always use my Morrison's loyalty card with it.

I work for Royal Mail, We use Arval fuel cards on all our vans now. They can be used at Tesco or BP stations where we can collect either Clubcard or Nectar points whilst using the fuelcard

It depends on what fuel card you have I guess. I have a BP one, so I can collect Nectar points.

To be able to get Tesco Clubcard points it would have to be a fuel card that works at Tesco forecourts (not forgetting that some Tesco ones that arent next to supermarkets are actually Esso, so no clubcard points are available).

Thanks for the responses, I will now avoid the fuel station that told me I cannot use my loyalty card when using the company fuel card.

I keep a selection of them on me, they are free to join up so wherever i go i tend to pick out the relevant card. I live right next to a morrions so the £5 generally gets spent on some weekly rations like milk and bread, etc

Whoever said you can't use rewards cards with fuel cards is talking hairy balls.

Isn't that what I said ?

Or do you mean that as someone with a Tesco credit card, you can get the double points even if not paying with the Tesco credit card ?
