  Professor Shmahoo has done the math, and to counteract the $2.95 per month fee, for regular fuel, for a saving of 2c per litre, you need to be buying more than 150L of petrol per month to make this worthwhile, and then you are bound to buy it from Caltex sites.

  I don't rate the 5% off in-store purchases, because I don't use that, but each to their own.

  Congrats to the Poster - I think it's a great deal if you routinely use premium fuel, and/or drive a lot and use a lot of fuel.

  Remember, YMMV.

    Did you miss the part where the fee is waived for life?

    It still doesn't suit me though as minimum top-up is $200. That's money better left on offset account.

      at around 5%, that's costing you about $10 per year in lost interest…

        jv is spot on.

        about $10 per year in lost interest

        you mean extra interest he's paying? being offset account, he has less to offset his loan ergo more interest

        problem is if you are in savings or worse everyday a/cs you get much less interest

        i fill my tank weekly and these days $200 does not go a long way
        so it is not over 1 year but weeks rather if you drive a lot.

  Hmmm can you link it to a CC instead of a bank account, so that way I can earn FF points 'topping' this card up ??

  even always premium fuel like myself, gotta fill 75 L before getting any profit out of it, i use approx 20 L a week, so apparently the company has done the math for us n made it not easy to benefit

    Yes but if we just do bit of maths for 20L/week u still get something back Premium Fuel Average $1.6*20L=$32 with 4C Off saving $1.28/week $5.12/Month $66.44/year and trust me with saving of $66.44/year you can buy lot of stuff with the help of OZbargain.com.au :)

  Wouldn't be as good as 5% off for ing paywave/ discounted ww gift cards.

  • 

    ozbmm on 29/08/2014 - 17:54

    It is actually more savings with 5% off (e.g. using current unleaded price, $1.30/L x 5% = 6.5c/L savings).

  • 

    daver on 29/08/2014 - 18:27

    Nor as good as 2% either unless I'd account 0.8cL a saving, only I don't
    really buy here so neatly avoid disguised increase :')

  Sounded good until I got to the part of the application where the minimum opening credit was $200 and it would top up $100 every time I reached $75 based on the minimum estimated usage of $200 a month. I don't spend that much on fuel unfortunately but good for people who do!

  without spending $30 or more @ supper markets.

  that fact is though that most people do spend $30 or more at supermarkets…

  Can you use this card at Woolworths Caltex? Just making sure is all.

    Yes you can but cannot use the shopper docket with it.

      Well, not much point then.
      You usually have excess 4 cent discount shopper dockets and it's one more way for hackers to get your bank details.

    Coles applies shopper dockets to gas, I recall I had some for $0.20 off per litre.
    Most Woolies/Caltex dont have gas up here so they dont in my experience.
