Given the recent changes with Woolworths Caltex/Ampol petrol I am left somewhat confused. I regularly use 4c discount vouchers (Everyday Rewards) and 4% discounted wish cards.
We now have:
EG Caltex
EG Ampol
Ampol
Which of these accept 4c discount vouchers?
Which of these accept wishcards?
EG app I assume only shows EG petrol stations (both Caltex and Ampol?). Is there elsewhere where I can see listing or map of all Woolworths petrol stations accepting both 4c off vouchers and Wish cards?
Time for a quick lesson…
Ampol is a network of nearly 1900 service stations across Australia, with a mix of stations owned by Ampol themselves (operated by Ampol Retail Pty Ltd) and stations owned by franchisees using the Ampol brand, selling fuel supplied by Ampol and accepting AmpolCard and AmpolCash physical gift cards. EG Group is one such franchisee, and they operate around 540 of these Ampol locations under the EG Ampol brand.
The current company called Ampol was formed in 1995 when Ampol and Caltex merged, and in 1997 changed its name to Caltex Australia. Chevron - the owner of the Caltex trademark - told Caltex Australia in late 2019 they could no longer use the Caltex trademark, and Ampol (and its franchisees, including EG) finally stopped using the Caltex trademark in December 2022. That means any Caltex-branded service stations you see nowadays no longer have anything to do with Ampol (or EG). In other words, EG Caltex does not exist anymore.
In terms of your questions:
All EG Ampol service stations accept Woolworths fuel vouchers (which gives a 4c/L discount on mainland Australia, or a 6c/L discount in Tasmania).
Only EG Ampol service stations on mainland Australia accept Everyday Rewards. EG Ampol service stations in Tasmania do not officially accept Everyday Rewards, although you can still present an Everyday Rewards card at Tasmanian EG Ampol service stations and still redeem a fuel voucher stored on your Everyday Rewards account.
All EG Ampol service stations accept WISH / Essentials / Fuel gift cards (physical and digital).
All EG Ampol service stations accept AmpolCash physical gift cards, but EG Ampol service stations do not accept AmpolCash Digital gift cards.
The EG Club app only shows EG Ampol service stations. You can also go to the EG Australia website and also see EG Ampol service stations.
The Ampol website's store locator shows all Ampol service stations across Australia, including EG Ampol service stations.
There are around 200 Ampol service stations not operated by EG that accept the Woolworths fuel voucher. You can see these locations by ticking Woolworths Fuel Discounts on the store locator filter (or by clicking on this link where I have already enabled the filter for you!) Most of these locations actually used to be part of the Caltex Woolworths joint venture before Caltex Australia and Woolworths dissolved the joint venture in 2015.
There are no Ampol service stations not operated by EG that accept WISH / Essentials / Fuel gift cards. Those Ampol service stations stopped accepting them in September 2021 (and yes, most of these locations used to be part of the Caltex Woolworths joint venture).
All your questions are addressed on the Fuel Discounts wiki page, so have a look there if you want more information (and there are separate sections for Ampol and EG Ampol).
Great Review - Thanks :)))
