Tesco launches Clubcard Fuel Save scheme
Tesco has launched what it claims is an industry-first initiative to help shoppers save up to 20% off a litre of fuel .
The supermarket said the Clubcard Fuel Save scheme is unlike other fuel promotions, which are generally short-term and involve a one-off minimum spend.
Instead, the Tesco scheme will see Clubcard customers being rewarded with a 2p fuel discount for every £50 spent across a month, but customers will not be required to spend £50 all at once.
Tesco added that every shop will count towards the discount, however small.
The launch follows new research by Tesco which shows that 51% of shoppers said they found it hard to take advantage of traditional fuel promotions when a minimum spend was required. In addition a third said they did not benefit at all from the promotions because the terms were either too expensive or not promoted on the items they needed to buy.
Chris Bush, UK managing director of Tesco, said: “Petrol prices are forcing families to make tough choices. By introducing Clubcard Fuel Save, we can do our bit to make everyday life easier. Nearly three in four users who took part in the trial said the savings we’re offering would make a big difference to their budgets. We’re delighted to be rolling this out nationally.”
