AA announces fuel savings programme for all New Zealanders

AA announces fuel savings programme for all New Zealanders

The AA has announced today that on 7 November 2011 it will launch a fuel savings programme, called AA Smartfuel, for all New Zealand motorists.

AA Smartfuel will enable motorists to combine fuel discounts from different retailers and use their total value to reduce the cost of fuel at BP and participating Caltex service stations. Motorists can use AA Smartfuel to get a maximum of 50 litres of free fuel each time they fill up.

AA Smartfuel General Manager Ian Sutcliffe says “for a long time motorists have wanted a way to substantially reduce the amount of money it costs to fill-up their vehicles. AA Smartfuel will do exactly that.”

Motorists earn, combine and redeem their cents per litre discounts by swiping either their AA Membership card or their AA Smartfuel card at Caltex, BP and participating retailers. The fuel discounts expire at the end of the calendar month following the month in which they were earned.

“AA Members will receive their new Membership cards in the coming weeks, and AA Smartfuel cards will be available free to non-Members from 7 November at participating retailers and service stations.”

“The list of retailers who are participating in AA Smartfuel is still commercially sensitive, and will be announced closer to the launch date.”

AA Smartfuel will replace the Automobile Association’s existing loyalty programme, AA Rewards.

“Since its establishment in 1998, AA Rewards has provided AA Members with over $80 million of benefits. However, Members have often asked how we could help reduce the price of fuel. AA Smartfuel is designed to do exactly that.”

“AA Members will continue to receive exclusive benefits, over and above the cents per litre discounts for all motorists, in recognition of their valued membership of the Automobile Association.”

AA Smartfuel is a joint venture between the Automobile Association and Smartfuel New Zealand Ltd.
