VA & BP big announcment?

[Warks]

Finally!

Simply activate this offer, visit any participating BP service station* and make three eligible fuel purchases by 31 March 2016 and you’ll receive 3 Points per litre^ of fuel purchased in your third transaction. No minimum spend required.

Fill up a fourth time by 31 March 2016 and we’ll reward you with 4 Points per litre^ of fuel purchased in that transaction. Fill up on a fifth occasion and we’ll give you 5 Points per litre^ purchased.

Looks like I'll be driving a bit this month.

Please allow up to 5 weeks after the promotion end date for the bonus Points to be allocated.

I fill up on average around 1.5 times per month. Small car, decent sized tank, low miles.

Guess i'll be making 2 1/4 tank fills, a 1/2 tank fill and then a full tank this month

(I didn't get a 5th refill bonus, just triple on third and quad on 4th)

 

[docjames]

I do 750-1000km/week. Ave 7.3L/100km.

Got the 3x offer. BP equal in price to others where I travel.

More points for me. Sweet.

 

[Dannyism]

I noticed there was no minimum spend. I plan on putting in 10 bucks twice.. Then fill up completely twice (i didn't get the 5th)..

Game the game people

While I don't have your evil mind to think of such things I will adopt the same approach I think!

Put in 1 litre today, 1 litre tomorrow then fill up the 3rd time. Wait a week or so and then fill up again.

The terms and conditions confuse me slightly.

Bonus points will only be awarded on the fuel portion of transactions which include both in-store spend and fuel, with the in-store portion of the transaction receiving the standard 2 points per $ 1 spent.

Both? Am I interpreting wrong? What's the cheapest thing one can buy in store? 10 cents?

"if you buy fuel and things in store, you will get bonus points on only the fuel component, whilst the in store things will be 2 points per dollar spent"

It's not well worded.

 

[Warks]

I note that fuel bowsers have a sign on them which says "minimum delivery 2L" which patently isn't true. I'm pretty sure you can get 10mL out.

 

[coles525]

Easy terms: spend 1.176 litres, charged 2.000 litres.

 

[Warks]

Have done the first two fill-ups. About $20 each. Now to get the rest. Probably manage three full tanks as I've got some country driving coming up. Fill up the mower fuel can while I'm at it...

Anyone get another 'activate this offer' email today even though they've already activated ? :S

Yes, I got one as well - which worried me a bit as I filled up at BP again today to meet the promo criteria! When I clicked on the link though, it said I had already activated the offer.

Ah yeah sweet, same.

 

[Warks]

I got a "last days" reminder. I've done four fills so far, unfortunately the third and fourth were only about 55L as I was on the Hume Fwy (M31) and the Marulan BP was the only BP within a few hundred km without a major diversion. Will save the 75L fill for the 5 point job. Not worth running out of fuel for it though!

 

[QF WP]

I did 3 fills , just didn't get there for the 4th fill (should have done a separate run for a 5L petrol can for mower in the middle). Oh well, an extra 37 points is better than nothing (and BP are lucky that they have handy stations near my usual routes).

If only I had a huge 4WD to fill...

 

[Dannyism]

I filled up my second 10 dollar fill about halfway through the month. The cashier was like "that's so strange did you know you are the third person in a row to fill up 10 bucks on that pump". I chuckled and explained how I was scamming the system for about 100 measly points.

 

[Warks]

I remembered to do the fifth fill up on the last day of the month. Not as much as I'd hoped but it wasn't worth driving an extra 100km to drop my tank to empty for a few extra points.

Went to my local BP franchise owned by OTR in South Aust, and on my non fuel purchase, I don't drive, but always in the past, the double points worked, on anything in the store.
Last night, went in for a 2 litre bottle of juice and a coconut water drink, only to be told, in an off hand way, **oh, our Velocity is not working today**, what the...
Leaves a bad taste.
So, for what ever reason, if you have filled up, they might pull the "Velocity reader not working" on you.

Hope you swiped regardless. OTR pulled that rubbish on me. But I swiped anyway, and it worked. Apparently, I was the first one who it worked for all day.

pull the other one it plays jingle bells.
