Esso, cos of the citibank discount.

If other brand got better discount, i will gladly switch!

How much discount izzit?

With OCBC at Caltex, it's 17% together with the $3 coupon they give out

I use SPC - out of habit rather than anything. And use Stan Chart’s Xtrasaver - 7% cash rebate on petrol purchases (ALL stations).


BTW, SPC’s card allocates petrol discounts based on past spending. I understand that you can have up to 3 cards per account. So if your family has multiple cars (sister/father/friends), can group together to accumulate your petrol purchases and move up the discount level.

....Oh yes, one thing we do is to re-set the trip oddometer to zero after pumping so we'd know how much distance we'd covered with the same tank of petrol. anyone else does this?

we do !

So do I! And I will compute to see how many km I got per litre.

The mechanics servicing my car said SPC has the \"dirtiest\" gas. He consistently found cars using SPC has the dirtiest and most clogged up engines. Not sure how true this is... :?

We do too. And we keep our $3 coupons in the glove compartment as well

Looks like the cashiers at every Esso station unanimously think I don't need to be given the $3 coupons cos I have never received them anymore after the first time!!!!


This is really strange... :? :? At payment, they also never asked if I have the coupons, they just deducted automatically for me. :oops: I must be looking blur..

Anyone else have my experience?

I was told once that these petrol companies buy from one another, the difference is only the additives added by the companies. Also heard that SPC is from China ..... :?

Really? So much discount ar?
But i don't have OCBC card.
Citibank at esso can get 5% on top of the 5% discount at the station and 5% cashback, so save 14.5%.
Now got another one with the dividend card, i just found out.

I thought Esso Platimum card by DBS is still the best for offers at Esso??? They offer up to 16% and some offers are only applicable to Esso card holder. :?
