Cashback and loyalty programs<\/h2>\n

It is profitable to pay with a card at gas stations – almost all banks provide cashback programs, and after paying for fuel they will return from 0.5% to 3% of the balance. In addition, some of them offer increased cashback for certain categories. If among them there is a payment for gasoline, then you should enable this option. Thus, up to 5% of the amounts spent at gas stations can be returned to the account. In addition, there are special driver cards that also provide higher compensation for motorists.<\/p>\n

Large gas station chains (Gazpromneft, Lukoil, BP and others) provide bonus programs – discounts<\/a> or cards for which you accumulate points. Discounts may appear during promotions or be provided to regular customers. Some bonus programs from large network distributors allow you to increase the average discount up to 10%.<\/p>\n

The points system works differently: with each purchase, points are awarded to the card, which can then be exchanged for fuel. Conditions are different everywhere, but usually bonuses are credited to the loyalty card for every liter of gasoline or diesel fuel. 1 point is equal to one ruble.<\/p>\n

Online fuel payment apps<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular applications for online fuel payment is Yandex.Fuel. 0.5 points are awarded for each refueling of 1000 conventional units per liter. They can be spent if the driver has activated the Plus service. Loyalty programs of BP, Rosneft, Shell, Neftmagistral, Tatneft and EKA can be connected to the application. The service works like this: first you need to select the gas station that the driver is going to visit, then select the pump and fuel and mark the required number of liters. After that, the payment window will appear. Purchases can be made using Google Pay, Apple Pay, or a credit card. After that, the motorist can simply drive up to the selected distributor, and after refueling, or the driver himself inserted the gun into the gas tank, refueling will start automatically.<\/p>\n

Gasoline delivery<\/h2>\n

Another way to save money is to use mobile service stations. Such mobile service stations operate in most million-plus cities. The driver indicates the address and number of the car in the application or on the website, orders the required amount of a certain type of fuel and pays with a bank card. After that, it remains to wait for the arrival of the mobile service station – as a rule, such services set delivery times from half an hour. Refueling can be done with or without a car owner; In this case, the service station employees send the car owner a photo of the number of liters on the windshield of the gun. Fuel prices in such organizations are set by several conventional units lower than at stationary gas stations.<\/p>\n

But there is a nuance here: no one checks mobile gas stations and there is a risk that the fuel will be of poor quality.<\/p>\n

Use of automatic filling stations<\/h2>\n

Many gas station network operators have small automatic filling stations with only distributors and payment terminals installed. Refueling at a robotic gas station can be paid for by card, cash or through a mobile application.<\/p>\n

These service stations are serviced remotely through the dispatch console. The objects are always monitored, and the terminals have a button to call an employee who, if necessary, can advise the driver.<\/p>\n

At such points, prices are lower than at full-fledged gas stations with a store and cash desks. For example, let's take gas stations of the same network in the same area at the same time. At a regular gas station, 95th gasoline costs 51 rubles 65 kopecks, and in a machine – 50.60. Difference in conventional units. Sometimes it can reach up to 2-3 conventional units per liter.<\/p>\n
