Motorists holding Sainsbury’s Nectar cards can save 5p per litre on petrol and diesel by redeeming 300 Nectar points. This benefit applies at more than 1,200 Esso fuel stations across the UK, providing relief amid rising fuel costs.
How the Discount Works
To claim the savings, drivers must purchase at least 10 litres of fuel. They scan their Nectar card or use the Esso App at participating stations. The discount caps at 60 litres per transaction to prevent excessive stockpiling.
Esso states: “Use your Nectar points to get a discount on fuel at participating Esso service stations. All you need to do is put a minimum of 10 litres into your car, scan your Nectar card or pay through the Esso App and you’ll have the option to swap 300 Nectar points for 5p off per litre.”
Earning Nectar Points
Drivers earn one Nectar point per litre of fuel purchased at Esso stations. Shoppers gain two points for every £1 spent in the station’s store. Sainsbury’s and Argos customers collect one point per £1 on qualifying in-store and online purchases.
Convenience via Esso App
Mobile users access the offer easily. Esso explains: “Paying for fuel and collecting Nectar points is easy with the Esso App. Simply link your Nectar account to your Esso App and the next time you use the app to pay at a participating Esso service station, your points will be added automatically. You can also get 5p off per litre by swapping 300 Nectar points when you pay in store or via the app.”
Fuel prices for petrol and diesel have surged since late February, intensifying challenges for combustion vehicle owners.
