    Thanks OP
    Brought 8 in total with same name, same address, same credit card but different email addresses
    Hopefully they won't cancel my orders.
    Save $40 for the next two refuel :P

    • Turd on 24/10/2013 - 12:34

      lol two refills.

      I only got 3. Will last me 4weeks. Thinking of getting more now.

      • kche3572 on 24/10/2013 - 12:36

        I refuel around $80 every 2 weeks.
        Before the card expired, I will refuel 3-4 times.
        I will probably buy another 4 to cover the New Year driving around

        • Turd on 24/10/2013 - 12:42

          Ahh…

          I fill $15 a week.

          So maybe I need another 5 or so.

    a Fiver stretches to about 3.4 litre on average, so you will want 'bout quadruple/ 13.6 L for maximal benefit> free one day's worth of travel courtesy of Cal tex. ..and use multiple a/cs.

    • the money should arrive by next trough, saving ~36.8cL( per13.6L)

  • maybeamacy on 24/10/2013 - 14:40

    I'm a bit confused - so can you use multiple cards or is it just $5 off the total?

    • roughana on 24/10/2013 - 15:14

      You can only obtain 1 card per person through this deal.

      If you happen to have more than one StarCash card then they should accept them at POS for payment of goods and services.

    • Snoop on 24/10/2013 - 15:58

      Like roughana has said, the deal is limited to 1 card per Groupon member, but others seem to have gotten around this by using different names and/or emails!

      The cards themselves are simply cash cards pre-loaded with $20. Obviously the fact that it's a Caltex Star Cash card means that you can only use it at Caltex/Ampol outlets where Eftpos is available (inc. Caltex - Woolworths/Safeway Petrol)!
      So it's like paying the clerk with 2 or 3 different cash or debit cards which, although frustrates the hell out of them, you see some people do it! (eg. If you bought $70 worth of petrol/goods and had 3 cards, you'd have to swipe/use up all 3 cards to give you $60 plus give them another $10 in cash to complete the sale!)

  • roughana on 24/10/2013 - 15:13

    Don't forget cashback and referring a friend for new accounts at Groupon.

    • Ash-Say on 24/10/2013 - 16:07

      The refer link is not working. Was it working for you?

      • roughana on 24/10/2013 - 16:34

        No, but apparently if you share the actual deal (FB, Twitter, email) then they can use that link and be tracked back to you.

        • prince22 on 24/10/2013 - 17:37

          I'd doubt that coz even that link is generic…

        • roughana on 24/10/2013 - 21:43

          I haven't tried this, just read it in their help. But did you log in first?

        • tinx on 24/10/2013 - 22:00

          logged in and the link doesn't work.

          That's their crap excuse.Obviously,they have good deals recently and don't want ppl to refer.I know my referral code and it stopped working.Groupon disabled referral program atm.

  • kent08 on 24/10/2013 - 16:06

    do the caltex servos allow you to put in say 30 bucks worth of petrol, pay 20 with the card and the remaining 10 with cash etc?

  • kent08 on 24/10/2013 - 16:07

    also what is the expiry date on the cards anybody know?

    Don't think there's anything wrong with making 50 accounts and buying 50 $15 cards, it mentions 1 per Person, does not mention how many accounts can't be made right?

      Deal is $15 for $20 worth of petrol, but if you go onto the below link -

      http://www.starthere.com.au/Groupon-Australia/product/15-for…

      The total price is - Now $14.40 (Including 4.00% cashback)

      BUT, BUT - how much is the delivery fee, if you pay via certain credit cards - what is the fee., etc.
      doesn't state it anywhere

      plus, it states -
      Just so you know…Cashback is calculated on the purchase amount
      and may exclude GST & delivery charges.

  • moonwalk on 25/10/2013 - 23:23

  • c9 on 26/10/2013 - 00:26

    Will they mail me the card, or do I just print out the groupon voucher and redeem? A little confusing here…

    • wtfnodeal on 26/10/2013 - 00:42

      They send the card to your shipping address.

  • kabigon on 27/10/2013 - 11:13

    For those doubting above, I was charged $0.38 International Purchase Fee (ING account).

    Will be sending an email.

    • mily on 27/10/2013 - 13:12

      Checked my Amex transaction, no fee incurred at all, through amex directly or Paypal. So the problem may lie with ING rather than groupon.

    • Turd on 28/10/2013 - 09:48

      This is not Groupon's fault, It is your banks fault. Change banks

  • maybeamacy on 27/10/2013 - 15:49

    • Turd on 28/10/2013 - 09:48

    • delfredo on 29/10/2013 - 10:14

      Buying more then?

  • delfredo on 29/10/2013 - 10:17

    I was reading up on StarCash and the Caltex website says the following:

    "If your total purchase exceeds the stored value remaining on the card, the difference can be made up with cash only".

    http://www.caltex.com.au/productsandservices/prepaidfuelcard…

    So it appears that you can't use multiple StarCash cards in one go.

    • Turd on 29/10/2013 - 11:42

      It also says:

      StarCash is available in denominations of $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500. For purchases over $500, please call 1300 726 530

      Where is the $20?

    • Turd on 29/10/2013 - 11:57

      What you can do is do Pay@Pump.

      Put in card. Press Pin. Press $20. Fill up.
      Repeat and rince…. Till you have your $100 of fuel.

  • delfredo on 30/10/2013 - 09:30

    I wonder when they will start shipping the card? Hopefully not a week before expiry. I don't want to be buying fuel at the top end of the fuel cycle which will negate the $5 discount.

    • daver on 30/10/2013 - 13:55

          be my guest, I ?guess, I am not woolworths, just a disloyal. $1.1oL-to me, will go nicely, however.

          edit: I'd denounce that to be : wait on the Star Cash- official/ piece of plastic, yet to recv. /alternative could bring much improvement, & be more efficient, to printing such items DIY; it's rather a pin ?after all.

        • Snoop on 30/10/2013 - 16:14

          strangely I checked my account and the coupon PDF is already in there, print it out & use it now?

          No, you'll have to wait for the actual card to be delivered. As it's pre-loaded with the amount on there, it'll have to be swiped like a normal debit card!

      • daver on 30/10/2013 - 16:12

        Step 1: Insert card
        Step 2: Enter PIN
        Step 3: Follow prompts on the screen
        Step 4: Lift nozzle and fill your tank
        Step 5: Replace nozzle and select receipt, if required
        Remember you will need to insert your card first before lifting the nozzle and refueling.

        Ahyeh, so, clearly one needs first to posses the card(s). Question become == how reader acknowledge everydayreward c/L discount card/docket, if applies.

        • bargin424 on 10/11/2013 - 09:08

          theres no pin on the card?

        • daver on 11/11/2013 - 07:49

          I gathered it was relevant to gain access the pay at pump facility from registering Online.

          Activating your PIN:

          Caltex card customers must have a PIN enabled to use and access this service. To organise enabling a PIN, simply visit StarCard Online on caltex.com.au/starcardonline to update your account details or contact the Caltex Card customer service team on 1300 365 096.
          http://www.caltex.com.au/ProductsAndServices/PayAtPump/Pages…

          The expiry of the groupon offer caught me off guard that I didn't order any of these cards, in any event - Turd cover it off quite nicely with regard to his experience pay@pump below.

          Remember, only a handful of sites are p@p+are Co-brand w/ 'dockets.

          With unleaded presently =$1.38/L, I wonder if many tried (1.38 - 0.25) * (15 / 20), & got their: 0.847cpL.

        • illumination on 12/11/2013 - 00:31

          Wait so from the comments I've read…

          • We can ONLY use these StarCash cards using P@P (can't go to the counter) and not all Caltexs have this
          • Even if they have P@P, we may not be able to use a docket (down to the station?)

          Am I missing something?

        • chadiwrx on 12/11/2013 - 09:29

          I used 3 cards inside a Woolworths Caltex servo + a 20­­¢ off fuel with no issue.
          You just swipe the cards & then just hit enter when it asks you to enter a password.

        • daver on 12/11/2013 - 15:30

          So easily one uses S-Cash either Inside OR at self-(pump)checkout, specifically where marked. my commenting was around the context of Stacking EDRs [4c,20c, 25c etc] over the ($15/20)groupon. This would appear today confirmed, except for the case of Outside (patrons intent on re-fueling petrol/gas, instead of queuing up for candy).

          Am I missing something?

          Yes.

          The thread above states that according to the StarCash T&Cs you can't use more than one of these cards in the same transaction when you pay inside the store. But you can use more than one if you Pay@Pump. Hence why P@P was being sought after.

          However, it looks like this T&C may not be enforced because multiple StarCash cards can be used instore.

  • Turd on 06/11/2013 - 18:16

    Got mine today. Used it for $15 fuel, so there is $5 remain. Used the Pay@Pump and didnt even need to go onto the store to see the person.

    This means for those of you that have mutiple cards it will work, It just means you need to:

    Go when it is very quiet… (So you dont hold the person behind you up).

    Insert card.
    Wait for validation.
    Press amount (Must be in whole numbers you cant do decimals).
    Take pump, put in car.
    Finish put pump back.
    Press finish on the screen.
    Repeat from top.

    If I had a car I'd bought mutiple ones. But since I only use $15 fuel a week, I only have 8 cards. Will last me till end of January!

    • Windows7forever on 12/11/2013 - 09:02

      Nice one and thanks for the instructions. I like how you planned out your fuel requirements for the next 2 months. The only thing stopping me buying me more than one card is that I am worried about the impending expiry date and the fact that I don't fill up regularly.

      • Turd on 13/11/2013 - 10:06

        Update for this:

        It's actually easier than you think.

        Go to pump.
        Put star card in.
        Take it out, when it says so.
        Press enter when it asks for pin.
        Then pump.
        It will auto preauto $20, you can fill up $13 or what ever amount you want. After filling put bower back and repeat!

        • bargin424 on 14/11/2013 - 11:12

          Does the pump limit to $20 of petrol? OR do you have to stop @ 20?

        • Turd on 14/11/2013 - 11:46

          It will auto stop at 20, well it' goes 19 then it pumps very very very slowly till 20,

          Or if you stop at 15 and put the bower back you'll still have 5 in the card to use next time.

  • mily on 06/11/2013 - 19:43

    Got my cards delivered, 5 out of 6, will wait and see if the last one show up tomorrow. They are not in register mail, so I am not sure about the chance of requesting another if this one get lost.

    • delfredo on 07/11/2013 - 11:03

      How did you manage to get several cards? Did you use multiple email addresses (and therefore multiple accounts) or did you have these sent to different people (eg. family members)?

      • mily on 07/11/2013 - 11:32

        Different accounts, same gmail address with dots in it, and all the family members' names including my 1 yo son. I think using different names isn't necessary, just in case.

      Considering they had to stuff letter/card into approx 20,000 envelope's it would take some time I reckon.

      They did say 2 weeks delivery. Chillax
