Save 38 Cents per Litre Just By Shopping At BP

Save 38 Cents per Litre Just By Shopping At BP

• 32 cpl worth of in-store discounts at BP
• Instant 6 cpl discount for all existing AA customers at BP

BP customers can look forward to paying 171.9 cpl, just by shopping at BP in the first of BP’s AA Smartfuel offers.

In the first round of AA Smartfuel discount rewards announced by BP today, customers could save 38 cents just by shopping at BP and being an AA customer.

The scheme begins nationwide this Monday, 7 November, 2011.

“The last time 91-octane petrol was under 171.9 cpl was in January 2010 – and that discounted rate is just from collecting our BP in-store discounts. By combining discounts from other retailers, customers can save even more – up to 50 litres absolutely free, every time they fill up,” said BP managing director Mike McGuinness.

AA Smartfuel is a fuel discount programme that allows motorists to collect fuel discounts from a wide range of retailers from all over the country, and combine them to create large discounts each time they fill up at BP. The full list of participating retailers will be available at www.aasmartfuel.co.nz.

BP today announced the first range of its in-store discounts (available from 7 November to 4 December):

• Buy Castrol GTX engine 15W-40 4L and receive a 20 cpl discount
• Buy two bottles of V 500ml for $7 and receive a 2 cpl discount
• Buy a carwash at participating BP Superwash sites and earn a 10 cpl discount
• In recognition of BP’s 13-year relationship with AA, all AA customers receive 6 cpl off their fuel the first time they use their card*.”

“We know the rising cost of fuel is placing pressure on family budgets,” Mr McGuinness said. “Most of the factors influencing this, such as international cost of crude oil and the foreign exchange rate, are out of our control. AA Smartfuel allows us to provide real savings to our customers.”

“Our customers told us they want to be part of a programme that gives them real rewards. No more catalogues of toasters or saving points for a holiday that never comes. These are real savings.”

“We will regularly refresh and introduce new in-store discounts, giving our customers ongoing opportunities to reduce their fuel costs.”

The AA Smartfuel programme will begin 7 November and replaces the AA Rewards scheme which has been offered through BP for 13 years.

Customers can collect their AA Smartfuel card at all BP stations, AA Centres, and other participating retailers.

Note
$171.9 cpl price is based on current BP price for 91 octane ($209.9 cpl), minus BP exclusive discount rewards ($0.38 cpl). No prediction is made on the future price of fuel.
