Hi all,

My partner is now clocking up mega miles with her new job which requires using her own fuel. My question is which fuel station offers the most in the way of rewards?

I have a V Power card she's been using and I don't think it's worth it for the amount of fuel she's using.

I've never done many miles and all my petrol cars have always used V Power so Shell was a no brainier for me but her it's simply the rewards she's interested in.


Kind regards

I fill up around everyday to every other day. I have a v power card used to get about £20 I think. I now fill up at Tesco as much as pos.

One years worth of filling at tesco got me £900 of watch with a vouchers for spare (goldsmiths 3 for1) they do loads of other deals with other partners too

By far the best for rewards. I use a fuel card. If you use their credit card to pay as well you will get even more points

Nectar (BP, Sainsburyrs) is arse.

In 110,000miles I racked up about 40 quids worth of points.

Pay on Tesco credit card and collect Morrisons miles.

Van hated Tesco diesel but was great on Morrisons.

Getting through £60-70 a day it quickly adds up smile

Esso, they don't offer rewards. When I was doing mega miles I found that on average their fuel is cheapest across the UK & I definitely got more miles from a tank of their diesel than I did from any of their rivals.

Morrisons do a miles card which is just a points collection card. Get £5 shopping voucher for every 500 points.

Pay using a Tesco credit card and get 1 Clubcard point for every £4 spent.

With the odd exception Morrisons is cheapest or within a few tenths of a penny of just about everyone else.

I see. I actually have a Tesco credit card, but I always fill up at Shell and always shop in Sainsburys! I only got the card because of some 0% on purchases deal they had going at the time. I don't even have a Tesco clubcard as I hate Tesco's food and never shop there! laugh

Morrisons scheme is the best value. Tesco have halved the number of points you get on fuel (1 for £2)

I use Sainsburys / Nectar and pay with a cashback credit card. The rewards aren't brilliant but the closest Tesco is out of the way.

I do Shell card, (as I run on V-Power at the moment,) and pay using an Amex Cashback Card.

I'm not sure it's optimum, but it's not bad. If I did more miles, I'd be thinking about the Tesco / Tesco or Morrisons / Tesco thing.

It might be worth looking into M&S or John Lewis Credit Cards too.

Get an American Express card and use Shell. I get close to £200 cashback a year on the credit card and around £10 worth of free fuel a quarter at Shell (this is based on using £35 of fuel a day - 5 days a week)...

We both use Sainsburys for Nectar points and use a cash back card which gives 3% off each fill up - soon adds up and more valuable than points to spend on a kettle!

Worked this out a few year ago when tesco changed there clubclard points on petrol from 1p in a pound to 1p in two pound.

Morrisons works out the best. I for one have a capital one cash back card with an intro rate of 5% cash back, made myself a few quid just by using this card then at night paying it in fuel. No brainer. Money for nothing.

How much would you need to spend on petrol say per month for this to be worthwhile?
