How to save money on petrol and diesel - Get 5% cashback with the Everyday+ Credit Card*

If you’re driving a car on a regular basis, unless you have an EV, the rising cost of fuel has surely been something you’ve been watching recently.

While you can’t control fluctuating fuel prices, you can control how much you could get back from the money you are already spending. Making small changes to how you pay for everyday costs can help ease the overall impact over time. Here are our top tips on how to save money on petrol and diesel.

Making the most of everyday spending

There are lots of ways to get a little extra value back from your regular spending, including finding ways to save money on fuel.

For example, the Everyday+ Credit Card offers cashback on everyday spending such as at petrol stations and for grocery shopping*. For customers who use their card regularly for these kind of purchases, this can add up over time.

Earn 5% cashback with the Everyday+ Credit Card*

Simple, rewards, straight into your account:

• 5% cashback at petrol stations*
• 5% cashback at grocery retailers*

Whether you’re doing your weekly shop or filling up on fuel, you can start getting more value from the money you are already spending. Over time, those smaller amounts can build into big savings, particularly for those with more than one car or longer daily commutes.

To get the most value from cashback, it’s important to manage your credit card in line with your budget and repay your balance in full each month.

How much money could you save on fuel?

Based on average usage, households in Ireland use around 225 litres of fuel per month across two cars. At today’s costs, that’s approximately €450 per month on fuel*.

With 5% cashback*, that could mean:

• €22.50 back each month
• €270 per year
