Tesco is offering a fuel discount to shoppers who spend £60 or more in a single in-store transaction.
What Happened
The promotion was confirmed by Tesco in an email sent to customers on 1 October 2026.
The offer is available to all customers, regardless of whether they have a Tesco Clubcard.
Key Facts
- Minimum qualifying spend: £60 in one in-store transaction.
- Discount: 8p per litre of fuel.
- Maximum saving per coupon: £8 (equivalent to 100 litres).
- Offer period: 1 October to 18 October 2026.
- Coupon validity: Until 25 October 2026.
- Not available at Tesco Express stores or on the Isle of Man.
How the Offer Works
To qualify, customers must spend at least £60 in one transaction at a Tesco store.
After discounts, promotions, and coupons are applied, the total must still meet or exceed £60.
The fuel coupon is printed at the bottom of the receipt.
Shoppers must keep the paper coupon and present it at a staffed petrol station kiosk when paying for fuel.
Only one coupon can be used per fuel transaction.
The offer does not work through Pay at Pump or at unmanned petrol stations.
What Counts Toward the £60 Spend?
- Online grocery orders (e.g., Whoosh) do not qualify.
- Spending at cafés, tobacco kiosks, opticians, phone stores, and concessions does not count.
- Lottery products, e-top ups, savings stamps, postage stamps, carrier bags, prescription medicines, and infant formula are excluded.
Why It Matters
The offer is most valuable for customers who already plan to spend £60 or more at Tesco.
For example, a 60-litre fuel fill saves £4.80. A 40-litre fill saves £3.20.
However, spending more on groceries just to reach £60 could outweigh the fuel savings.
It’s also important to compare pump prices before filling up. A 8p discount does not guarantee Tesco is the cheapest option.
Limitations and Open Questions
The discount is capped at £8, even if a customer buys more than 100 litres.
There is no stated minimum fuel purchase, though the offer likely requires a reasonable volume to justify the saving.
Customers should check the Tesco store locator to confirm their local petrol station accepts the coupon.
Asda is also offering a similar deal: 5p per litre for spending £40 or more in-store, available to Asda Rewards members.
On a 60-litre fill, Tesco’s 8p offer saves £4.80, compared to £3 under Asda’s 5p deal.
Asda requires a loyalty card, while Tesco does not. The qualifying spend is lower, but the discount is smaller.
What to Watch Next
The offer ends on 18 October 2026, with the coupon valid until 25 October 2026.
Shoppers planning a £60 shop and needing fuel should act quickly to take advantage of the deal.
