Are fuel cards worth it for private use?

The TOP garage on the Tallaght bypass offer their own loyalty card if that’s any good to you. 6c off per litre. No signup or account. Just scan at the till when you pay.

No, there's no catch. It's a guaranteed free discount so a no brainer. When you first get one just make sure before you start filling that the station you're at takes whichever card you have.

Using 4c discount as an example, every 25l bought saves you €1. Doesn't sound like much but when you calculate it out based on your usage it can be significant.

I Have the Circle K fuel card - actually started with the Topaz one before the buy out. As mentioned before I save about a euro per fill on average, not huge money but it all adds up if you fill every week or even fortnight. You do get the play or park competitions - never won anything mind but the treats for losing are handy. Also the loyalty card for the coffee and carwashing is handy.

The best thing about it is that if you are tight for funds you can fill up and not pay for 2 weeks so you can manage it that way but as a previous poster said you need to time it so the funds will be there come payday.

You can use the same card for as many cars as you like, you don't need a separate one for each vehicle.

It's also worth pointing out that Parking Tag users get 4c off per litre at Circle K, might save you having to sign up for a card at all.

This thread seems to be confusing 2 different things,either a discount card(for 4c off a litre for example at circle K) and a fuel payment card.

Which is the OP talking about?

Can you use the AA discount scan to get the their 3c off and then scan the Circle K fuel card for their 4c then to get the 7c off?

or is is that you have a fuel card through the AA that offers 7c off?

Most of the fuel payment cards would offer some kind of discount on the pump price or nobody would bother using them, and a lot of the 'private' discount cards are also linked to bank account and used for payment, so sort of all the same in that regard.

Saying that, I'd imagine the OP is looking specifically for discount.

Check with every organisation you're a member/customer of, some will have some kind of fuel card deal on offer. Bank, credit union, work, union, sports clubs, phone provider, energy provider, insurance provider etc. I could have got one about 5 ways.

As an example Circle K have a basic list of affiliates but there's far more than what they've listed.

No, because that'd be a fuel card, not just a discount. You can only use one fuel card as the sale is charged to them.

AXA do 4c off, I think avant do too.
