Yes, sorry no discounts if you bought the high yield investment
Do I need a Toyota? [2]
Do I need a Toyota? [3]
Toyota, do I need a?
Have heard an apparent hack whereby you aren't actually required to own a Toyota vehicle.
If I remember correctly, all you need to do is register a random Toyota VIN (might require a recent make/model - I'd say past 5 years is OK) and it should allow you access to the discount fuel promotion and other services.
Apologies, by 'random', I meant enter any valid Toyota VIN…
nah all good, just easier to pick from the list… XD
Yeah I got 10c off as well. cheers
Is a Toyota needed?
Where to get a Toyota VIN?
Also works in Vic
But you have to pay for it?
Step 1) Write down a Toyota registration plate on the street.
2) Go to https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/buy-sell-or-tra…
3) enter the plate number.
4) profit.Aren't VIN numbers seen through the windscreen glass now? (Pull phone out, photograph number plate, photograph VIN.) https://www.whichcar.com.au/car-advice/what-is-a-vehicle-ide…
Just go to a random dealership website and search for any new car in stock and grab VIN. Worked for me. Feel bad for someone but at least won't do harm till its sold
Step 1) Write down a Toyota registration plate on the street.
2) Go to https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/buy-sell-or-tra…
3) enter the plate number.
4) profit.Will it work for Diesel if the VIN entered is for a Petrol vehicle?
Ask Vin Diesel if it works for him?
Family
Lmao, love the idea of swiping other peoples possible discounts 🤣
Ampol are far from the cheapest near me so 10c saving isnt likely to be useful.
Stack with 5% GCs
howd u only get 5% off the 6% off deal still on
Can you use woolworths GC there ?
No.
Ampol Foodary / Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations stopped accepting physical WISH and Essentials gift cards in September 2021.
EG Ampol will accept WISH gift cards, Essentials gift cards and EG gift cards, but those are operated by an Ampol franchisee (EG - Euro Garages), and they do not accept the Toyota discount.
The commenter you replied to is likely referring to discounted AmpolCash digital gift cards (which should be accepted at all Ampol Foodary / Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations accepting the Toyota discount) or AmpolCash physical gift cards (which are occasionally sold at a 5% discount in Ampol Foodary / Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations).
I suggest you have a look at OzBargain’s fuel discount wiki page for more information, as it is all explained over there.
@Fobsessive: Weird.
Google Street View suggests that EG Ampol appears to be one that was formerly operated by Woolworths through the old Caltex Woolworths joint venture and then under the Woolworths Petrol brand, before operations were handed over to EG in 2019.
There are many reasons an EG checkout system would reject a WISH eGift card. For example:
- The gift card redemption system could not be contacted when you attempted a redemption.
- The EFTPOS terminal you used was recently replaced at that service station and was not programmed correctly by EG and/or Woolworths Group.
- There was insufficient balance on the available eGift card.
- The eGift card number was entered incorrectly.
- The eGift card number was not actually for a gift card accepted at EG Ampol.
- The PIN was not entered correctly.
- There was an item being purchased that cannot be paid for using a WISH eGift card (e.g. a gift card).
- The checkout you were using is not able to redeem any gift cards issued by Woolworths Group at all. I mention this, because there was a bug I encountered at multiple Woolworths Metro stores late last year where a specific self checkout at each store was not able to redeem any gift cards issued by Woolworths Group. I am not sure whether this bug still exists at those Woolworths Metro stores…
If the checkout printed a rejection receipt and you kept it, it should tell you what went wrong.
If you cannot understand why your redemption attempt was rejected (and if you care enough), I would suggest you call EG and ask them to see whether they can help. One time when I called up the EG call centre to report a problem with a regional NSW EG being unable to redeem Everyday Rewards Dollars available on my Everyday Rewards account, the call centre passed on my details to the area manager that included that EG service station. The area manager eventually called me back and was extremely apologetic and gave me a 12c/L discount on my next visit!
@WookieMonster: Thanks for your advice! Also I didn't know we could pay with Rewards Dollars at EG Ampol, that is useful (I normally use Ampol-Ampol with discounted Ampol eGCs)
@Fobsessive: If you want to redeem Everyday Rewards Dollars at EG Ampol, you can only do that at their service stations on mainland Australia. You cannot redeem Everyday Rewards Dollars at EG Ampol service stations in Tasmania, because those service stations are currently excluded from the Everyday Rewards program.
Ampol petrol prices are pretty crap in my area… making the 10 cents more like 4 cents.
Same. Usually go with the WW ones. 5% off giftcards is equivalent to 10c when petrol is $2. Then there's the 4c off, plus another 5c for the app/racv
Never hurts to have something like this in your back pocket though. Especially during interstate trips
Ozbargain's fuel discount wiki page says:
Ampol does not officially permit multiple fuel discount offers to be redeemed in one transaction, and Ampol's POS systems will usually automatically block this. For example:
* A Woolworths fuel discount cannot be stacked with a myToyota fuel discount offer.
* A myToyota fuel discount offer cannot be stacked with a My NRMA fuel discount offer.
Toyota + free NRMA membership = 13cents off regular if that helps.
For those with Amex offerings, which gives $5 off every $60 so it all adds up.
Does this Toyota app and the NRMA app stack?
Ozbargain's fuel discount wiki page says:

* A Woolworths fuel discount cannot be stacked with a myToyota fuel discount offer.
* A myToyota fuel discount offer cannot be stacked with a My NRMA fuel discount offer.@Dacs: However you can stack RACV discount with Rewards discount. So maybe it is only the Toyota discount that can't be stacked with others?
@Schlegz: Further down, it also says
The Woolworths fuel discount offer cannot be stacked with an Ampol / partner discount. Any attempt to redeem the two discounts in the same transaction will see the first discount presented automatically voided by the checkout system.
and it lists both My NRMA and myToyota as "partner discounts". My understanding from that is that no two discounts can be stacked.
@Schlegz: It depends on the type of Ampol-branded service station you are at, as different operators set different rules regarding any fuel discount offers they may have.
At Ampol Foodary and Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations (which should be all operated by Ampol themselves), you are officially only allowed to redeem one fuel discount offer of any sort in one transaction. The Toyota discount offer in this deal is only available at Ampol Foodary and Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service stations, so the quote the previous commenter pulled from the wiki makes sense. Here are some examples:
You are not supposed to stack the Woolworths fuel discount offer with the Toyota discount offer in this deal.
You are not supposed to stack the Woolworths fuel discount offer with the myHyundai discount offer.
You are not supposed to stack the Woolworths fuel discount offer with the My NRMA discount offer.
You are not supposed to stack the Toyota discount offer in this deal with the myHyundai discount offer.
You are not supposed to stack the My NRMA discount offer with the Ampol Energy discount offer.
Hopefully that makes more sense.
At EG Ampol service stations (which are operated Euro Garages, an Ampol franchisee), you can redeem up to three different types of discounts in the same transaction:
Woolworths fuel discount offer
The instore spend offer (spend $5 or more on eligible items, save 4c/L)
An EG Club / partner discount offer (e.g. EG Club, Origin Energy, RACV).
However, you cannot stack multiple of the same types of discount offers in the same transaction, as this is against the terms and conditions of the discount offers, plus it will be blocked by the checkout. For example:
You cannot stack an Origin Energy discount offer and a RACV discount offer in the same transaction.
You cannot stack an RAA discount offer and an EG Club discount offer in the same transaction.
You cannot stack a digital Woolworths fuel discount voucher with a paper Woolworths fuel discount voucher in the same transaction.
At other Ampol franchise service stations (e.g. Bennett’s Petroleum), it will depend on the rules set by the franchisee.
@Dacs I am tagging you, because this comment should address your confusion.
I assume you can combine with discount gift cards?
Yep.
The only type of Ampol service stations I know of that officially do not let you redeem an AmpolCash gift card in conjunction with the redemption of their fuel discount offers is Bennett’s Petroleum.
I've paid for my fuel with a 10c NRMA discount QTr code with an e-gift card, (6%) they don't know how much I paid for the gift card
Unless you mean a different type of discount card?
Lol in my area for U91, BP and Shell are like 211, 213 and Ampol is 237
EVs will sell themselves at this rate.
When something decent hits the 40k mark then its gonna pop the f off
MG4 is $41k. If you're in Queensland you get a $6k rebate. $35k for an EV, not bad.
@Tommyaka: It's an MG though. Not quite screaming quality.
I think by something decent, they meant a decent affordable EV from a reputable brand such as Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, etc.
@Tnetennba: Right on the nail my man, the critical word being decent, not the absolute bargain bin cheap, cheap, cheap.
e.g. Toyota releasing a 35k EV Yaris, the streets will be filled.
@Tnetennba: Toyota, Mazda and Subaru are the worst EV manufacturers of the world. They are not reputable in the EV space. Toyota doesn't even believe in pure EVs. They are very keen on hydrogen.
@Naigrabzo: Yes hence my point to wait until established manufacturers do have proper EVs.. those were just examples of established quality manufacturers as opposed to some of these random Chinese junk brands springing up.
@Tnetennba: The established ICE manufacturers are not the same as established EV manufacturers. Some ICE makers have fallen far too behind. It's possible that they never catch up. It's good to wait if possible though; definitely.
Until word gets around more their batteries randomly burst into flames without warning, cannot be extinguished without first launching them into the Sun, and if it happens in your attached garage while asleep you go unconscious and become a crispy human fish finger.
Meh. I was just reading about a Kia recall for ICE car that can burst into flames, warning you not to park near your house until you get it fixed.
@AustriaBargain: Yes but it's much rarer, can be extinguished in minutes not days (weeks?), and doesn't require your house to be rebuilt to become inhabitable again due to all the toxic chemical residue on the walls, through the carpet, bedding, clothes…
doesn't require your house to be rebuilt to become inhabitable again due to all the toxic chemical residue
I'd like to see the source for those claims. At a previous workplace there was a lithium battery fire, and the fire brigade told us to air the place out for a day, and then it was fine. And yes, the workplace had carpet, no bedding, but plenty of office chairs. None were replaced.
Tesla cars are now using LiFePO4 batteries, since last year, and most other EV manufacturers have also changed over. Cars containing LiFePO4 batteries are widely considered to be safer than petrol cars.
The problem is more that EV fires are so uncommon that they usually get into the news, unlike the 10000 or so petrol-car fires in Australia EVERY YEAR.
See here for more detail: https://renew.org.au/renew-magazine/sustainable-tech/lithium…
Or just google "do lfp batteries burn".
@Russ: Did I say every lithium (and stand-alone BATTERY which it sounds like you're talking about) catches on fire? NO. There's no point arguing the "toxic" point in either direction, because it obviously depends on two dozen variables like where it is, how long it burned for, was it even an enclosed space, how fast it was put out, what the surroundings were, what other materials (like the synthetic car interior) caught alight too, etc. Regardless, I don't care who said it was "safe" no-one can guarantee it actually is without doing some kind of lab testing. They're just not prepared to tell everyone to abandon their work/business for a month of remediation measures due to legal repercussions for a start. They just look around, go meh - nothing obvious, it was near an open door, back to work you go. But I bet they said something like, "If anyone has difficulty breathing, itching eyes or skin reactions, etc go straight to hospital." They don't know if you're going to get cancer and die 17 years sooner (unless their helmet visors now have crystal ball technology installed). If some thinks EV fires are inert feel free to walk around in the smoke without a respirator. ;-D
And if you think 10,000 car fires out of the over 20 million cars in Australia is a lot, then wait til there's more EVs or for the current ones to age. Many normal car fires could have been prevented too if people weren't so vague. But unlike ICE cars, EV owners won't have a clue how to service them so they'll never even look "under the hood" or know where to look for a possible problem (and they wouldn't see an imminent battery fault anyway) because battery fires happen completely at random, no warning, no matter if there was a Telsa technician sitting in the passenger seat 24/7.
Oh and most petrol car fires don't take out 10 other cars in every direction, and burn for days without being able to extinguish. The Swedes I think have now found a way, but it requires drenching every other car in the vicinity with salt water - thus still writing-off those other cars with imminent rust. A burning petrol car would struggle to affect more than a couple others either side, with the rest in the carpark requiring little more than a wash and polish afterwards.
As for most manufacturers have changed battery type…
a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en3PuyWQ_7g. That's a Jeep Wrangler 4xe Hybrid manufactured just this year. It randomly went into thermal overload, blew the garage door out of its tracks, and nearly took the firefighter's head off.
b) The MV Fremantle Highway (cargo ship) fire in July when the EV apologists (who I also note: said EVs with lithium-ion batteries were safe TOO not long ago) said no EVs actually burned. Well it turns out they lied because it was a brand new Porsche Taycan (2023 again). Experts think another EV sank the Felicity Ace in March 2022 (which had more Porsche Taycans on board).
c) Quote: "Rivian, Tesla, and Ford are embracing LFP batteries, which are cheap and abundant but offer lackluster range in cold weather. And customers generally aren't told which type they're getting." https://www.pcmag.com/news/carmakers-are-switching-to-cheape… (So even the manufacturers who ARE using them are STILL giving people lithium-ion and it's a lottery which one you'll get. Plus we're back to the drawbacks… Cold weather reducing battery capacity and range. Great for a country like Australia with slightly more EV chargers than Martians.
d) Then of course there's the thousands (or is only hundreds here) already on the road - for years to come - already with lithium-ion batteries waiting to go off like an Aliexpress roman candle. I wonder how long before a battery combusts somewhere like inside the Sydney tunnel, and a coach load of kids struggling to breath try to run back out only to be mowed down by cars doing 80km/h who can't see due to the smoke.Edit: I guess 2023 Mercedes are off the list too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIpXkQhq1ps
As always EVs always require the facts to be selectively adjusted/omitted.
@[Deactivated]: So you can't backup your original claim, try to put words in my mouth, and then proceed with straw-man arguments?
You provided so many misleading arguments that I can see you've studied the "Gish Gallop": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gish_gallop
Just to pick one of your many misleading points "Cold weather reducing battery capacity and range."
Following the link you supplied, they say:
"Very cold or hot weather—generally defined as below 20 degrees or above 95 degrees Fahrenheit, according to AAA—can cause a drop in EV range."
20 degrees Fahrenheit is -6.67 degrees Celsius. So first up, not a lot of people in Australia live in areas that regularly get colder than -6.67 degrees. And that's the point at which the drop in capacity is barely detectable, you have to get colder before the drop becomes noticeable. Secondly, the battery generates heat as it's being used, so even if you're in a really cold part of Australia, the battery is only cold for a few minutes of your journey. Batteries in EVs produce so much heat that there's a cooling system just for the battery, complete with a radiator.
So if you live in an area of Australia that regularly sees snow, you'll get a tiny drop in battery capacity on the coldest days.
@Russ: What need is there to "backup"!? Are you saying lithium and its smoke from thermal runaway ISN'T toxic!? Of course it is. Now spread it through your clothes, furniture fabric, carpet… Don't act like a moron.
@[Deactivated]: The bit that I quoted. You claimed:
doesn't require your house to be rebuilt to become inhabitable again due to all the toxic chemical residue
Do you have any evidence of a house needing to be rebuilt because of the smoke from a lithium battery fire? If so, please link to it.
@Russ: I don't have video evidence of someone burning their hand by placing it on a stove hotplate… but I know it can happen. (Do you?)
@Russ: Hey man, Do you own an EV? If so, do this experiment. Park it in very cold weather at 10% battery for one month without being plugged in. :) Then you will see tiny drop in capacity. HAHA.
Just did this with my ICE car and nothing happened. I didn't even have 5L of gas in the tank either. I recently ran out of petrol while driving. Just pulled over, poured some petrol and off again in 30 seconds.
Dunno about battery fire but there is definitely evidence that battery fires are more tricky to put out. Have you ever experienced thermal runaway from a battery? Try it and see with a LiPO battery.
Park it in very cold weather at 10% battery for one month
Tell me, where in Australia can I find such a place at the moment, below minus 6.67 degrees?
And in the meantime, you can read about how standard diesel fuel in ICE engines turns to gel at minus 6 degrees, and many cars have to be rescued every year, because the car can't pump the fuel:
https://www.racv.com.au/royalauto/news/cold-snaps-dire-for-d…@Russ: Forget the temperature. Just park your EV outside for a month at 5-10% charge and see. Every moment that battery is above temperature or below optimum it will be losing it's powa! :) Actually wait until summer and park it outside in the sun and see what happens after one month after it's been baked in the full sun. :)
I love the concept of EVs but people making silly excuses for them are laughable.
@Naigrabzo: Waste of time. It's like vegans, PETA, JWs, and CrossFit… Once inducted into the cult you can check out any time you like but can never leave. In America old ICE cars are holding their value or going UP while car sales yards are telling manufacturers they don't want EVs because they can't sell the ones they have because so many of the charging stations are vandalized, faulty, or occupied and are being told by government not to charge it at certain times/days. If that happens in the USA where EV uptake and infrastructure is every couple of km, do people really think it's going to be better here!? I'm now waiting for insurance companies to quietly adjust their policies to exclude all damage caused by EVs, then tell them all they can go to Elon to get their houses rebuilt after their EV burns their home down.
@[Deactivated]: Crossfit usually checks out after first major injury.
Personally I wouldn't want to stay at a dodgy little spot charging my EV at odd times during the night. This happens if you drive from Sydney to Blue mountains for the day and want to return…..
Meanwhile I can drive continuously (with two drivers) Sydney to Melbourne without a petrol stop. Or Sydney to Canberra and return without filling up.
@Naigrabzo: Remember the horror movie… Speilberg maybe… Some trucker bearing down on a car, car speeds uphill while truck loses momentum, downhill the truck is right up his bumper… EVs would make some very short horror flicks. The whole movie will be, "Sorry ma'am… From what we can tell your son tried to drive Melbourne to Adelaide and the SA grid Tesla battery bank failed during a lightning storm taking out the only charger in his EV's remaining range. Looks like he died of heat exhaustion after the SA GTHO V8 club waved as they passed, thinking he was only laying down to take a picture of a frill necked lizard on his iphone."
What personal info does the app requests?
How does it work ? You show a code on your phone when you pay?
Tap "redeem now" in the app, it generates a QR code, show the QR to the cashier.
Same process as NRMA app.
Not sure how frequently, but the QR code changes, so don't bother share through screenshot.
Once installed does the app show the nearest Ampol that accepts the Toyota discount? (Not all outlets accept it.) https://www.toyota.com.au/mytoyota/ampol-finder
Cheers , there is an ampol near me at $1.85 per litre
I got a call and 2 emails from Toyota regarding the leaked information. The 4 times I logged in, it showed me 4 different set of details. What a joke.
Yikes
Oh, what a feeling…
Go carsales search toyota private sale, swipe rego, rego check, get vin, use boost data sim number… win!
When does this 10c discount deal ends ? cant find it.
3rd Nov
In the email
Cheers just saved 10 cents per litre
I'm guessing it's a one time off and not stackable with the WW 4c?
You can use it once a day, you can also scan your Woolworths card, I’m not sure if it’s stackable
It is not supposed to be redeemable with the Woolworths fuel voucher (which is 4c/L in mainland Australia and 6c/L in Tasmania). The terms and conditions of this Toyota discount offer says it cannot be stacked with another fuel discount offer unless otherwise advertised. I have never seen the Toyota discount being advertised to work with the Woolworths fuel voucher.
Additionally, Ampol training apparently tells attendants to manually remove the Woolworths fuel voucher if a customer tries to stack both. In my experience, an Ampol Foodary attendant told me I had to choose between the Ampol partner discount and the Woolworths fuel discount. You may get a service station attendant who will let you try it, but it will then depend on how the POS system at the participating Ampol Foodary / Ampol Woolworths MetroGo service station you are at is programmed. For example:
This person found the POS system at their local Ampol Foodary will automatically block them from stacking the two discount offers.
This person insists the POS system at their local Ampol Foodary / Ampol Woolworths MetroGo will still let them stack the two discount offers.
Last time my local Ampol Foodary told me to pick 1 of the highest discounts. I didn't ask further. I assume it won't be stackable for me for now. Thanks.
Cheers, good thing we all have Camrys here in Ozb
Sucks, I had 2 toyotas that my family owned that i used in the old app. The new app says only cars newer than 2009. Both my cars were 2008 and 2004.
try it. I am in the same boat and my 2001's VIN was accepted.
oh really? that would be good if it works. Does my insurance provider have my VIN or do i need to look it up in my car? I wanted to set it up while i am at work so i can fill up on the way home
My 1986 VIN was about 8 characters too short - the submit button was still grey.
Ta
The app says "Save 10c per litre on fuel*"
and then at the bottom it says "Offer limited to 4c/litre fuel discount…"
which one is it?
Definitely 10 cents , just used it
Can we all use the same vin?
What's the ozbargain camry vin?Here is a Camry VIN for those without a Toyota!
JTNBA3HK303028074Cheers, Super White, 2023 Camry. 😢 App didn't like that I share this vehicle with other people. 👎 Boo, more than one person can own a car! Stupid app!
Stalk online car dealerships' Toyotas and copy the VIN
Does this stack with mynrma ampol discount also
Usually they can only scan one app at a time?
You can scan both codes however only one will be used in the system, and you'd end up paying $0.01 extra for the code not used, so jist use whichever one has a bigger discount
