Unprecedented 20% off petrol discount available nationwide from today

Feb. 14, 2013 - PRLog -- Many households are being driven to despair with the strain of high fuel and vehicle costs. 43% of motorists have already taken action by reducing the amount they drive and another 18% have taken steps to drive more efficiently[1]. The average cost for one litre of unleaded petrol is now £1.36[2]; a hefty price to pay for the British commuter who on average drives 3,326 miles a year[3].

With this in mind, TopCashback.co.uk is giving drivers unprecedented discounts on petrol and diesel of up to 20%. Consumers will receive £2 cashback when spending £10 or more at service stations nationwide[4], simply by snapping a picture of their receipt and submitting it through TopCashback’s new Snap & Save facility, available on its mobile app and website.  

Natasha-Rachel Smith, Consumer Affairs Editor at TopCashback (www.topcashback.co.uk), said: “This discount means £10 of fuel priced at £1.36 per litre will effectively be cut to £1.09 per litre; an amount not seen since 2008[5].”

To get the petrol savings, motorists should follow these simple steps:

Ø  Become a member of TopCashback.co.uk - it’s free to join and use – then sign-in.

Ø  Purchase £10 or more worth of fuel from applicable service stations[6].

Ø  Leave the forecourt. Snap or scan a picture of the till receipt, clearly showing the service station name, transaction amount, receipt number, plus date and time of purchase.

Ø  Submit the picture via the mobile app (https://www.topcashback.co.uk/app) by clicking on ‘in-store’ cashback, then the ‘Snap & Save’ icon or alternately via the website page (http://www.topcashback.co.uk/SnapAndSave/Offers).

Ø  Cashback will take two or three days to appear (up to seven days in busy periods) in accounts but will be payable immediately.

Ø  The £2 cashback can immediately be withdrawn into your bank or PayPal account, converted into Amazon e-vouchers (which gives a 5% bonus) or loaded on to an existing Love2shop gift card (which gives a 4% bonus).

Ø  The petrol discount offer is available from 00:01 Thursday 14 February 2013 and can only be redeemed once per person.
