    Watch out for this one. A couple of servos I use don't participate.

    Last time I used this, the attendant allowed me to prepay. So go into the servo, prepay for the petrol and he'll program the pump to stop exactly where you need it.

    Saves you from spending 15$ worth of fuel only to find out the servo doesn't accept the voucher.

          Give as gift doesn't work for me for some reason,….. it still says I have exceeded the maximum amount.

        • doweyy on 09/08/2017 - 15:32

          @tidie:

          You have to make a new account with a throwaway email and then send it to you as a gift.

        • illumination on 09/08/2017 - 15:42

          @doweyy: Oohhhhh I see what you're saying now.

          So you still need to make a new account but by giving it as a gift you have it all together (in your own email)!

          @doweyy: but it still sends it to that fake email you made up on groupon, and if that person uses it, then there goes your $15 bucks lol.

        • doweyy on 15/08/2017 - 21:47

          @Inflow:

          What do you mean? You go into gmail and make an account then use that at groupon, nobody else owns the account so not sure what you mean.

      +2

      Yes

  • Click_It on 09/08/2017 - 14:53

    Tempted, though my 3 Caltex's within a 15 minute drive are all a bit pricey, not at bad as Shell but consistently higher than 7-Eleven where I save the most using their phone app.

    I have a woolies caltex which is always the cheapest but I'm assuming they probably don't take this? Or might they?

    Seems a bit hit and miss, I'll stick with my 7-Eleven. I price match to the servo 15 minutes from home and fill up at the one 2 minutes from home, it's just too good once you've used it a few times. Saved myself 30c/L recently.

    • illumination on 09/08/2017 - 14:59

      Pretty sure Woolies Caltex do not take this.

      • Click_It on 09/08/2017 - 15:00

        Thanks for confirming. That's a no deal for me then, the $20 for $15 doesn't warrant paying extra and driving further to get it. Just my situation.

        • illumination on 09/08/2017 - 15:02

          Fair enough.

          I'm somewhat similar. I have a Woolies/Caltex near me which is consistently cheap, but I pass enough standard Caltex's which accept this for this to be worthwhile. At the bottom of the cycle, 25% off a normal Caltex without 4c/L discount is still cheaper than 5% (eGift Cards) with 4c/L discount.

          +1

          @illumination:

          True. I just did some crude maths and it would be cheaper buying this than using 7-Eleven, even at the more expensive Caltex's I'd probably be ~5c/L better off. That said there's an inconvenience driving out of my way (I don't naturally drive past any) so I'm probably still going to give it a miss. It could be a ripper of a deal for someone passing a cheap Caltex though!

          EDIT: Yes I'd save 5c/L on 98, 4c/L on 95 and and 1c/L on 91 at my nearest Caltex. It's tempting for the higher octane fuels.

      • retiredfeline on 09/08/2017 - 15:08

        ? A couple of Woolies Caltex servos appeared in my results, after the filter.

        • Click_It on 09/08/2017 - 15:18

          Is there a way to check online which ones will accept? Coz my caltex is $0.36 more expensive than the Woolworths Caltex. If the latter takes these cards then it's a no brainer. My local woolies is 100.7 (E10), 103.7 for 91 etc.

          EDIT: Nevermind, it's amazing what happens when I read (http://www.caltex.com.au/find-a-caltex)

          @greenpossum:

          Thanks. My Woolworths Caltex don't accept it BUT… I'm an idiot and forgot there's another Caltex a few driveways down who price match that servo. So I'm in luck! 77.8c/L for 91 here I come.

          @Click_It:

          Wait… Price matching fuel? I have never heard of this in my life!

          .. Unless you simply mean they often have a listed price matching the other one due to competition!

        • Click_It on 09/08/2017 - 15:50

          @illumination: yeah sorry, there's a stretch of road about 300m long with 4 all bunched up. 3 of then compete and then shell does their own thing (+25c). Not a price match, I was rushing to close the laptop and leave work early :)

  • iNeedMoreMoney on 09/08/2017 - 14:54

    Automatically goes to your Stocard app for use, very handy. Thanks OP

    • illumination on 09/08/2017 - 15:01

      I find these come up better in the WalletPasses app. Tried Stocard but it doesn't show balances whereas this does.
      .. but having said that, I know I've used 2 out of 3, yet WalletPasses still shows full balance of $20 as if I had never used it.

      • ttwaite on 09/08/2017 - 17:21

        Yeah takes a few days to update, you can manually delete them though.

        • illumination on 27/08/2017 - 00:10

          Hm it's been more than a few days and my balances still show $20. I can also see it was last updated on June 20 but I can't see anyway to trigger a manual refresh… any idea how this can be done?

    • pennypincher98 on 09/08/2017 - 16:54

      I'd be interested about this too. Not likely though, it would probably come under the telco/mobile/gift cards/recharges category that always seems to be excluded..

  • thesaver on 09/08/2017 - 15:24

      Worked for me too.

      Not saying you're lying but you'll probably need to include a little bit more info as to why it didn't work for you, because my suspicion is that you went to a non participating servo (in which case it's technically your fault).

      • thesaver on 09/08/2017 - 15:34

        I went to a participating servo in fact I have tried 3 of them. There must be something wrong with the voucher. I understand this sought of thing can happen however groupon are arseholes to deal with. They never return your emails, and when I have phoned they hang up on you. I would never buy anything through Groupon again and warn others to also not use them.

    • superm86 on 09/08/2017 - 15:36

    Only for people who haven't bought this before? Says I've reached my limit

  • payless69 on 09/08/2017 - 17:12

    I keep winning them but United sells fuel so much cheaper

    • pennypincher98 on 09/08/2017 - 17:43

      Sell them to people who have really shonky people running their nearest United?? (aka me :P)

    • [Deactivated] on 09/08/2017 - 17:57

      Yeah, but this is essentially 25% discount. United usually sells their fuels 10c cheaper than Caltex-Woolies sells, which is equal to 10% difference.

      • pennypincher98 on 09/08/2017 - 18:10

        Some people do not have access to a United in the same way they do to a Caltex…
        Wait if its only 10% different from Caltex to united, and 25% difference Caltex card to no card, why not go to Caltex to get 15% off? Am I missing something??

    Dumb questions here:

    Do I do the redeeming process in store? Or Do I use that link to redeem before hand?

    And do I swipe a card on the eftpos machine? I thought it was a digital card…

    • wtfnodeal on 09/08/2017 - 22:42

      Have the QR code ready before payment, tell the servo you wanna pay by digital gift card they will ask you to point the QR code at the scanner thingy.

  • thydzik on 09/08/2017 - 23:54

    does the full amount need to be used with a single transaction?

      No

      • thydzik on 10/08/2017 - 00:31

        • wtfnodeal on 10/08/2017 - 00:45

          Why not? If you don't have enough balance on the card then pay the rest buy any other form of payment you wish.

  • Inflow on 10/08/2017 - 04:03

    So for example if I fill up a full tank of petrol for $50 and I buy 3 of these starcash cards, could I use all 3 of them at once?

  • Hardlyworkin on 10/08/2017 - 04:58

    Does the 25% discount just get taken from the underpaid Caltex worker's wages?

    • wtfnodeal on 10/08/2017 - 09:21

      Then you should audit their payroll before pumping or even check if Caltex imported fuel from foreign companies that underpay their employees.

    Bought a few of these. Noticed that some Woolworths Caltexs accept Starcash Digital however if you're hoping to get reward points with these, forget it. If you look into Woolworths Rewards @ Caltex you see that they exclude purchases made with Starcash, meaning no points earned. Still good value to use at your local caltex that accepts Starcash though, and they all go into Apple Wallet (with balance remaining showing) if you have an iPhone. :)

  • Mister LoLPants on 24/08/2017 - 09:07

    Used the voucher last night. Initially had issues as the attendant didn't know what to do, then no probs as their colleague helped them out.

    The problem seemed to be the attendant trying to redeem a bar code on their POS machine but it had to be selected as a QR code from their side. The funny side was the initial attendant having no idea what a e-star card was, whilst all around them hung promo material for e-star cards. A little training/info from head office wouldn't hurt

    • spacecowboy on 27/08/2017 - 12:13

      Same story for me today. Attendant had no idea how to process on their console. Knew nothing whatsoever about starcash. No-one there to supervise them. Ended up having to pay cash.

      I have used starcash at this outlet before so just total lack of training.

      • MingMerciless on 28/08/2017 - 12:31

        After 5 failed attempts, attendant opened his operations manual folder. Problem solved. Get them to do this instead of paying with cash.

        • spacecowboy on 28/08/2017 - 17:27

  • virhlpool on 24/08/2017 - 09:49

    Guys did anyone noticed
    The pump which allows to use this voucher has $0.20 higher price on petrol then the pump which doesnt accept the deal?
    I noticed on the same day 2 different caltex 1 in Marrylands had around 152 for Premium where as in Parramatta same fuel for 125 ??
    so it works out no discount after all
    Also Merrylands pump had sticker saying "No Supermarket Discount vouchers"

  • Ash-Say on 06/09/2017 - 10:02

    I just tried it at mount druitt and it kept on saying scan failed and customer is not eligible.

    What has gone wrong here?
