Petrol Lobangs from AA

[Solar]

Wanna share this lobang.. mods, if this is deem an advert (i'm not affiliated with them), please remove this thread.

 

received this AA highway mag (i'm member), was pleasantly surprised that there are 4x $3 off coupons for $50 spent.

in addition, showing the AA card, i'm entitled extra 5% on top of station (ie. 10%) discount at caltex. (the mag didn't mention until when though)

in addition, caltex smile points can be earned.

so, if u use the dividend card (5%), u can actually get near 15% off your petrol

 

for me i use my stanchart debit card which already 10% off petrol purchase.. so, in total will be getting near 20% off

 

so, this saving in a way offsets the membership cost, and while i get the usual AA benefits..

(for the time being, i'll switch from esso to caltex, until the promo ends )

 

those AA members who have the mag, its on page 38..

[BoneStock]

yes, I saw that too. Most probably i will pass the coupons to my friend as I dont pump caltex

[Verve]

the stanchart debit card should already include the 5% stn discount.

 

and i doubt you can enjoy both promotions simultaneously i.e aa card and stanchart.

 

best to clarify.

 

if like that all of us can get 20 - 30 percent off petrol liao.

 

i think it should be aa card 5% + stn disc 5% and from there if net net got $50 then $3 off and then the net amt use dividend card 5% rebate so effective disc if pump $60 is

 

$60 less 10% = $54

 

then less $3 = $51

 

5% rebate on $51 = $51 x 0.95 = $48.45

 

the effective disc is 19.25% but leychay because you cannot pump more than $60 or else effective disc drop plus you need to wait for rebate and etc.

 

i rather forget about it need to bring coupon and etc.

no, its on top of the station.. i've been using the stanchart for months already and they got no coorelation with AA

to add, this card is like the citibank div card.. they don't care which brand u pump, what discount u already use.. they only see the amount charged to their card

Hi Solar,

 

It is mentioned on page 39 of the A magazine that the promotion is valid until 31 Jan 2009

if thats true and you can get stn 5%, followed by aa card 5% follwed by Standard chartered 10% followed by aa voucher, that makes it a fantastic deal.

 

the most conservative estimate will work out to be 23.6% !for $62 fuel spend (you pay $48) not to mention the points which will increase the disc.

 

wonder why the petrol companies now so kind and charitable.

 

maybe i mountain tortse but the best disc i got so far was the bukit timah station war and this beats that.

 

can anyone verify that its true then i will go pump liao.

 

dont want to switch caltex unless price really different.

[Solar]

oh, i thought the coupon only valid till 31 jan, but never mention the extra 5% for AA card until when leh.. but anyway, good enough for me.. switch back to esso after that.. not really a fan for caltex either

[Solar]

stn 5% is fixed..

aa card 5% and voucher is a promo from aa, so these can also be used.

as for stanchart, it is standalone, meaning it don't care what u have above.. similar to the citi dividend card, u can pump anywhere and get the discount.

 

btw, forgot to add, there're conditions tied to the standchart. i already attached the link above.. u can go take a look.

those with heaps of liquid cash doing nothing, can potentially get 15% off, on top of all the discounts on petrol.

(of me, i could only qualify 10%)

[Cybertech]

You want to know why caltex so good giving out vouchers - becos their points system

s__k after they revised it !!!!! Many have switch to other petrol c/o including me

[Picanto]

well, their techron suppose to make your engine super duper clean.

[Atlantis80]

agreed. it used to be $1 1 pt. then they change to $1.25 1 pt. and now they change to 1 lite 1 pt!!

[Pisces69]

yes, I saw that too. Most probably i will pass the coupons to my friend as I dont pump caltex

================

 

I also got those coupons. I dont pump Caltex too.

 

Anybody wants?

==================

 

I take those "discounts" with a pinch of salt.

 

I use Visa to pump Mobil/Esso. I saw somewhere can get 12% discount but when I pump, I calculate only got 8% discount lah.

 

Just pump at the best discount u can get but they purposely make it very complicated to confuse the motorists.

 

Very non-transparent is the usual way of doing biz in SG.

Add Persil or Dynamo better.

Not sure....

 

Alas my tank is quite full....

 

If can I will try....

- Stn disc --> 5%

- AA Card -- 5%

- AA voucher --> $3

- HSBC disc --> 5%

- HSBC rebate --> up to 2%

[Solar]

u can try with hsbc.. it still has extra 7% on top of the AA+Stn+Voucher.

times like this... can save, save lah.. for me, boh brand loyalty one.. i stick with whoever that can give me the best deal

[Solar]

well, their techron suppose to make your engine super duper clean.

i read somewhere that the techron although supposed to clean engine, the concentration/proportion from the pumps isn't enough to clean..

[Wanderer]

I pumped Caltex in SG and JB. The thing is that the petrol in JB gives me a better mileage though it's 97, compared to 98 here.

 

Oh well, probably it's my sudden adrenalin rush!
