Morrisons: Free tank of petrol? Big spenders' extreme couponing

 

 

This is an awesome bit of extreme couponing but it's fiddly and only works if you're already planning to make a big purchase at certain high street stores, such as Homebase or Currys.

 

Morrisons' Fuel Saver deal gives 1p/litre off petrol, diesel or LPG for every £10-worth of gift cards bought in-store. Lots of retailers are listed, including Homebase, Debenhams, Currys, Halfords, TK Maxx, Oasis and Waterstones (see the full list), though Morrisons' own gift cards aren't included.

 

How it works:

 

Buy a giftcard in store for at least £10 to get 1p/litre off. Plus you can buy multiple cards and stack the discounts. So, for example, buy five £10 gift cards and you'll get 5p/litre off one fuel spend.

Planning a big purchase? Buy gift cards first. If there's a large purchase you are going to make anyway - say you're spending £500 on a computer at PC World - get it by first buying the gift cards and you'll bag money off your petrol too (in this example, 50p/litre off).

 

Gift cards will be activated by Morrisons in-store, but you won't be able to spend them until your chosen retailer has also activated them. This can take up to 72 hours so you may have to wait a few days before spending. (You can often check with retailers whether the card's been fully activated and is ready to use, though this varies by gift card).

Remember gift cards are non-refundable and third party retailers (Morrisons in this case) don't have any responsibility to refund you if a gift card's retailer goes bust. (See the Beware gift vouchers MSE news story). Cards are generally valid for two years, but always check.

Can you buy a gift card and use it to buy another gift card?

I'm not sure, good idea though! They usually have restrictions on them though I've found debenhams gift card t & c's and you can't use a gift card to buy vouchers. They may not all be same? http://m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/contentView?filepath=/DebenhamsUKSite/Static/footer_giftcards_ts_cs_uk.xml&storeId=10701&langId=-1&m-referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%2F
