Gas prices in Slovakia are forcing drivers to look for cheaper places to fill up. Not everyone knows that you can get a discount not only at specialty gas stations but also at regular supermarkets. The Tesco chain periodically runs promotions that allow you to reduce your transportation costs using the Clubcard loyalty card.
Tesco is once again launching its “Zľava na pohonné hmoty s Clubcard” promotion. From November 11 through 24, you can get a discount of 10 cents (€0.10) per liter of gasoline or diesel at all of the chain’s gas stations.
How the promotion works
To take advantage of this offer, you need to meet a few conditions. The promotion is designed for regular customers, but anyone can participate.
Here’s what you need to do:
- Have a Tesco Clubcard loyalty card. If you don’t have one yet, you can sign up for a card for free online at the Tesco website or through the mobile app.
- Make a purchase totaling at least €70. This must be a single purchase at any physical Tesco store in Slovakia or through the Tesco Online Nákupy service.
- Present your receipt and card at the gas station. At the gas station register, show your receipt for €70 or more and your Clubcard, whose number is listed on the receipt.
- One receipt per refueling. Each receipt entitles you to the discount only once. The maximum amount of fuel eligible for the discount is 100 liters.
Please note that the discount is available only at gas stations with a cashier. The promotion does not apply to self-service kiosks.
How Much You Can Save
A discount of 10 cents per liter may seem small, but when filling up a full tank, the savings become significant. For example, by filling a standard 50-liter tank, you’ll save €5.
If you fill up to the maximum volume allowed by the promotion—100 liters (for example, for two cars or into jerry cans)—your savings will total €10. That’s a nice bonus for a regular trip to the supermarket, which you may have been planning anyway.
Where to Find Tesco Gas Stations
The Tesco gas station network isn’t as extensive as that of specialized operators, but they’re located near large hypermarkets throughout the country.
For example, in Bratislava, the only such gas station is located near the shopping center at Zlaté piesky. In Košice, there are two: in the Džungľa neighborhood on Trolejbusová Street and in the Nad jazerom neighborhood. There are also gas stations in Prešov, Žilina, Nitra, Trnava, and other cities. Always check the Tesco website for current dates and terms, where you can also find a complete list of gas stations.
Important Details and Restrictions
Before heading to a gas station, keep a few things in mind to ensure you receive the discount.
First, make sure your Clubcard is linked to your purchase—its number must be printed on the receipt. Second, the promotion is valid only when paying at the register, as the cashier must scan your receipt.
Tesco runs these fuel promotions regularly, so it makes sense to keep an eye out for announcements, even if you can’t take advantage of this particular offer. It’s a great way to combine your weekly grocery shopping with savings on gas.
