Discovered this when trying to use a remaining $1 balance on a Westfield gift card from this deal.

Steps:

  4. Pump dispenses approx. $1.25 worth of fuel
  5. Repeat to fill car

      How much petrol should cost before you give up and use this hack? $4 or $5 a litre?

      If my rough calculations are correct at $4 a litre with a 60l tank, doing it 240 times will save you $48. But it will probably take 2 hours.

    Seems like a pretty poor $ payback rate for your loss of time and dignity.

    lol. great one. deal is targeted as not whole community here have Costco membership.

  • You forgot the cost of tine

  • Do they have a .5L minimum dispense amount? That could be what's tripping it up.

    In b4 belongs in forums

  • Note that, insert card because if you tap at Costco for fuel they take a $100 holding deposit (unless things have recently changed)

  • The hardest thing for this hack is to find at least 50x Westfield gift cards with $1 balance. The second hardest thing is…. well you all know I bet… is to find time to fill 50 times

  • Since costco already got your membership details, they be after you missing dollar 😝

  • So that's why I have to wait that long! 🤣

    When my wife tells me to "fill her up" and it only takes me Two seconds

  • It's been tested in courts that taking advantage of errors in the system beyond reasonableness is a crime.

    And they have your licence plate on camera. Just saying.

    • They don't need the number plate, they have the Costco membership data already

  • Wow, this is what is wrong with the world.

    Stuff the person waiting behind you yeah?

    • Costco fuel stations have a dedicated lane between pumps so people can get around you…
