New Amex statement credits

I got it .. but it is always $50 minimum spend, and my car has a 27 L fuel tank so ...

(not that I'm asking for >$2/L fuel again!)

Time to buy a Jerry can perhaps? Pays off very quickly using say PetrolSpy's graph if you time the pricing cycle...

Regularly refilling our cars with fuel (when hit 25% full) priced 25 cents (or more) per litre cheaper. Best saving was 62 cents/litre x 20 x 2 Jerry cans.

Turo - 150 / 50
Florsheim - 175 / 30
Pelago - 100 / 15

Pelago seem to be serial offerers (if there is such a word)!

I live in inner Sydney and have a small car with small tank too.
These specials no good for me either

I got those on my Gold CC but the small Biz is missing Pelago, instead:

Energy Locals $40 / $40

I didn't receive it this time, most likely as I've used it previously?

Pelago is interesting as there are frequent 20% Cashback offers too

I think when the markup is high enough …. The discounts can be too.

I use Pelago to buy SkyBus tickets when there are Amex offers combined with decent cashbacks (sometimes 25%). Savings can be significant but it’s required to purchase minimum 3 return tickets which are valid for 3 months. Good for those of us who fly to MEL once every few weeks.

Point taken but for the things I’ve looked at Pelago seems similarly priced to Viator or Getmyguide. Of course direct is sometimes cheaper (though all too frequently not).

yep agreed. I didn’t mean Pelago is specifically more expensive, just the commissions in the industry are so high for tours and hotels etc. they can offer these huge discounts and still profit.
