MotorMouth Happenings
 

Hello and welcome to the September 2006 issue of the MotorMouth Newsletter.

Over the last few weeks, we have certainly seen the price of ULP drop at the pump and is very welcome indeed for all motorists.

However those motorists using diesel are continuing to pay high prices.

This month we are highlighting a new fuel offer that has been released by BP. We have reported a number of discount fuel offers in previous editions of our Newsletter, however we thought this one was a little different and a good initiative by BP.

Make up your own mind and make sure you read the terms and conditions.

Citibank

Privacy   Citi.com   



A credit card that gives you automatic savings on everything you buy anywhere. With the BP-Citibank MasterCard the money you save is simply credited to your account.

 

5% off your petrol and everything else you buy at BP∆

 

1% off everything else you buy anywhere†

 

6.9%p.a. for 6 months for all balances transferred^

Terms and conditions

Terms and conditions apply (available on request). Fees and charges apply. Subject to your acceptance you will be billed an annual account fee which is currently $79 for the Primary BP-Citibank MasterCard, and $30 for an Additional BP-Citibank MasterCard.

∆ Terms and conditions apply. 5% cash back rebates with BP are limited per account to the first $300 you spend at participating outlets each Statement period.

^Transferred balances are repaid first. At the end of the balance transfer offer period your interest rate will revert to the standard interest rate of 17.95%p.a., which is variable, subject to change and Citibank's credit criteria.

† In addition, Citibank will give you cash back with “Hero Partners” from time to time. Specific terms and conditions will be provided with Hero Partner offers. All other Retail Purchases and bill payments (excluding purchases at BP or Hero Partner outlets) made using Your Card will give you 1% Cash Back on the first $60,000 spent on Your Account in any 12 month period from the date You are enrolled in the BP-Cash Back program. All Cash Back will be automatically credited‡ to Your Account at the start of the next Statement Period. The Cash Back amount earned in Your monthly statement period (e.g. Nov 15 – Dec 14) will be reflected in a Cash Back summary on that month’s statement (E.g. Dec statement). This Cash Back will then be credited on the first day of the next Statement Period (E.g. Dec 15).

‡ Accumulated benefits are forfeited if the account is suspended or closed.

◊ Allow up to 8 weeks delivery of your pre-paid petrol card after the first use of your BP-Citibank MasterCard"

MotorMouth Competition
 
This Months Prize

This month's winner is Peter from Bannockburn in VIC .

Peter's entry - Self-serve scam

"When filling up from a self-serve pump, make sure you know the pump number.
Last week I was filling up when another customer came and looked at my pump, then went in to pay.

I found he had paid for my pump ($18) rather than his own which cost considerably more.

The attendant tried to get me to pay for his pump, until he drove off in the car she thought was mine!"

Congratulations Peter! Your prize will be sent out to you shortly.
