As you have noticed in previous announcements, gas prices just keep on increasing, and this has become a problem for those who use their vehicles daily so they can go to work or attend to other important things. There are different ways to save on fuel costs, but one of the most effective methods is to take advantage of store memberships to get discounts. Here are your options.
Unioil + S&R

If you frequently shop at S&R, then you’re probably already aware that you can use your membership card to get discounts at Unioil. You’ll get PHP 2.50USD 0.04INR 4EUR 0.04CNY 0.31/L off on Diesel, PHP 3.00USD 0.05INR 4EUR 0.05CNY 0.37/L off on 91 octane gas, and PHP 5.00USD 0.08INR 7EUR 0.08CNY 0.62/L off on 95 and 97 octane. Unioil and S&R are marketing this as a limited-time promo but they’re consistently renewing this, and so far this is in effect until October 8, 2022.
If you don’t have a membership card yet, just head to your nearest S&R branch and apply for it. The annual membership fee is PHP 700USD 12INR 1,012EUR 11CNY 87 for a Gold card.
Unioil Loyalty Card

Take note that the offer is only available in participating Unioil stations, so it’s best to check their official Facebook page for updates. Like S&R, this is also marketed as a limited-time promo and is extended until April 15, 2022.
Caltex + Landers
If you’re not a frequent visitor of S&R or there’s no S&R branch near your area, but there’s Landers Superstore, you can go for that as well. Members can gas up at any Landers-Caltext gas stations and get PHP 10.00USD 0.17INR 14EUR 0.16CNY 1/L off on Platinum & Silver gasoline, or PHP 5.00USD 0.08INR 7EUR 0.08CNY 0.62/L off on diesel.
A premium membership at Landers is currently priced at PHP 600USD 10INR 867EUR 10CNY 74, while the business membership is at PHP 750USD 13INR 1,084EUR 12CNY 93.
Caltex + Rewards Cards
Aside from their partnership with Landers, Caltex also partnered with other establishments for rewards cards. Basically, it gives you points for every fuel purchase at Caltex, then you can use those points to get fuel discounts.
If you have a Go Rewards or Robinsons Rewards card, you can earn 1 Go Rewards Point for every 5 liters of Caltex gasoline or diesel purchase via any payment modes. You can then redeem 1 Go Rewards Point for a PHP 1.00USD 0.02INR 1EUR 0.02CNY 0.12 discount per liter of Caltex fuel.
Alternatively, you can also use your MVP Rewards Card at Caltex to earn PHP 1.00USD 0.02INR 1EUR 0.02CNY 0.12 cashback for every 5 liters of purchased fuel, which will then be credited to your PayMaya account within 48 hours. You can then use your accumulated cashback as fuel savings.
Shell + SM Advantage
If you have an SM Advantage card, you can also use it to get a PHP 3.00USD 0.05INR 4EUR 0.05CNY 0.37/L discount at Shell stations in Metro Manila, North and South Luzon. In addition, your fuel purchase will earn you SM Advantage points that you can redeem in the future. However, it looks like the promo already expired in January. But do let us know if you saw that it’s still being offered in some stations.
Alternatively, some are also suggesting using the Shell GO+ App/Card to get up to PHP 3.00USD 0.05INR 4EUR 0.05CNY 0.37/L off when you purchase a minimum of PHP 1,500USD 25INR 2,168EUR 25CNY 186-worth of fuel.
Cleanfuel + Puregold Tindahan ni Aling Puring or Perks Card
If you have a Puregold Tindahan ni Aling Puring or Perks Card, you can get PHP 1.00USD 0.02INR 1EUR 0.02CNY 0.12/L off on diesel, or PHP 2.00USD 0.03INR 3EUR 0.03CNY 0.25/L on gasoline when you purchase your fuel at Cleanfuel. It’s a limited-time offer as well and will run until December 31, 2022.
Seaoil + PriceLOCQ app
This is not a membership card but an app but it allows you to purchase Seaoil fuel in advance, preferably during a rollback or while price is relatively low. Then when it’s to fuel up, just go to PriceLOCQ-supported Seaoil stations and redeem your fuel. Another good thing about this is that you can buy up to 600 liters of gasoline and diesel products, so, in some way, it allows you to actually stock up on gas.
And there you have it. If you’re bothered by the increasing gas prices and want to look for additional ways to save on fuel, then you might want to try the memberships and apps above. If we missed anything, feel free to help your fellow readers by commenting it down below.
