Can you combine fuel discounts?

Some eligible supermarket dockets and member rates may combine at the same linked bowser, with compatible listed rates reaching about 10c/L (around $5 off a 50L tank before caps and conditions). App price locks and points generally do not combine with cents-off.

Are fuel discounts better than finding a cheaper station?

A discount comes off the pump price, not the cheapest price in town. A few cents off a station near the top of the price cycle can still cost more than a competitive station near the bottom, so find a good pump price first and then apply any eligible discount.

How does a 7-Eleven fuel lock work?

Instead of cents off, the app can freeze a local price for a limited window and volume. It can help when prices are about to climb mid-cycle, rather than as a discount on an already-cheap fill.

Motoring-club member rate lists 6c/L off, or about $3.00 on a 50L tank

On a 50L tank, Motoring-club member rate's listed 6c/L is about $3.00. Eligible offers may combine to 10c/L, or about $5.00 on the same fill. Check the underlying pump price because a discount does not guarantee the lowest final cost.

How to compare

Check the pump price first

Choose a competitively priced station, then apply an eligible discount.

Check the local cycle

In cities with price cycles, the underlying pump price may change by more than the discount. Check recent movement before a large fill.

Open the map and compare nearby reported prices before choosing where to redeem any card or docket.

When to use a price lock

A price lock holds an eligible price for a set period. Compare the locked price with nearby stations when you need fuel.

Lock near the low

Timing

A lock may be useful when local prices are low and you expect to fill within the provider's valid period.

Check cycles

Price

A locked brand price may still be higher than another nearby station. Compare the base prices first.

Expiry, radius, volume, one-fuel limits and account rules can change the value. Read the current app terms before relying on it.

Use the lock only if it is lower than the reported station prices available when you need fuel.

Member-only fuel

Before using member-only fuel

Include the membership fee, distance, fuel type, opening hours and queue time in the comparison.

Membership fee

Fee

Spread the annual fee across your expected litres. Occasional fills need a bigger cents-per-litre gap than weekly commuting.

Route fit

Distance

A station on your normal route avoids extra travel. For a separate trip, check that the price difference covers the detour.

Check the exact grade before driving. Member-only stations may not sell every premium or diesel grade at every site.

Queue and hours

Time

Peak queues, unmanned payment and site hours can erase a small saving. Check the station page before a time-sensitive fill.

Discount types

How fuel discounts apply

A supermarket docket gives a fixed cents-per-litre discount after an eligible shop and is redeemed at a participating service station.

An app price lock holds an eligible local price for a set time and fuel volume. A member rate gives an ongoing discount and may combine with another offer where the provider terms allow.

Every discount is taken from the station's base pump price. Compare that price with nearby stations before applying the offer.

Using a discount

Using fuel discounts

Compare discounts with nearby prices

Start with the base pump price, then apply any eligible loyalty offer. Compare nearby stations on the map, then use the distance-saving calculator if a lower price requires a detour.

Combining discounts

A supermarket docket and a motoring-club or rewards member rate may both be accepted at the same linked bowser where current terms allow. For compatible offers, the listed rate can be about 10c/L. That is about $5.00 on a 50L tank before caps and conditions. Price locks and points use different rules, so check the provider terms before combining offers. The fill-up cost estimator turns any combination into a dollar figure for your tank.

Time it with the price cycle

A discount is more useful when the base pump price is competitive. In cities with multi-week price cycles, check recent movement on the price cycle, and browse fuel guides for more ways to cut your bill.
