Tesco and Asda are running separate fuel discount promotions this month. The two supermarkets have different offer terms, thresholds, and redemption methods — drivers need to check their specific supermarket's terms before filling up, as paying at the pump without following the correct process does not qualify under either scheme.
Asda's offer gives customers 5 pence per litre off fuel after spending £40 or more in a single qualifying in-store grocery transaction between September 23 and October 14. The discount is issued as a coupon in the Asda Rewards app and must be redeemed at a participating Asda petrol filling station by October 31. The earn deadline of October 14 is earlier than the spend deadline of October 31, so drivers who have not yet made a qualifying shop have days remaining to activate. Tesco's current promotion offers 8 pence per litre off fuel after a minimum £60 qualifying in-store transaction between October 1 and October 18. Tesco issues the coupon at the till; no Clubcard is required to receive it. The coupon must be presented at the petrol-station kiosk and cannot be used at pay-at-pump terminals, unmanned stations, or Tesco Express Esso sites. The Tesco coupon is valid until October 25.
For UK drivers filling up this week, claiming the Asda discount requires spending £40 or more in a qualifying in-store shop by October 14 and scanning the Asda Rewards app coupon at the payment terminal before payment is completed. Claiming the Tesco discount requires spending £60 or more in a qualifying in-store shop between October 1 and October 18 and presenting the till-issued paper coupon at the petrol-station kiosk in the same transaction. Drivers should check local independent petrol stations first, as forecourts near major motorways may still price unleaded higher than rural discounters even after the coupon is applied.
Claiming the Asda discount involves spending £40 or more in one eligible in-store transaction by October 14, opening the Asda Rewards app, selecting the fuel coupon from your available rewards, and scanning the barcode at the payment terminal before the transaction is finalized. The voucher does not apply if you complete payment first. For Tesco, the paper coupon is issued at the till during your qualifying shop and must be taken to the petrol-station kiosk in the same transaction; it cannot be used at pay-at-pump. Most participating stations are attached to larger supermarket sites rather than standalone forecourts.
On how to get the Tesco fuel discount: spend £60 or more in a qualifying in-store Tesco transaction between October 1 and October 18. The coupon is issued at the till — no Clubcard is required — and must be presented at the petrol-station kiosk by October 25. It cannot be used at pay-at-pump terminals.
The Asda earn deadline is October 14 with a redemption deadline of October 31. The Tesco coupon is valid until October 25. PetrolPrices.com allows UK drivers to compare live pump prices near their postcodes before deciding which station to use.
