With petrol prices on the up and the Christmas shopping period about to commence, a cashback website is giving away £15 worth of fuel for free – but only up to midnight on Thursday.

TopCashback is giving everyone who signs up to their website £15 worth of fuel from any major petrol station, including Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Asda, BP and Shell outlets.

TopCashback says customers must sign up to its website before submitting a photo of the paper receipt, showing the date and fuel station name. The offer can only be redeemed against purchases made on Thursday.

After the receipt is submitted, £15 will be sent to a TopCashbank account within seven days, and can then be transferred into a bank account the week after.

Customers will need to spend a minimum of £15 to claim the free cash.

“It’s excepted petrol prices will rise by 8p a litre in the next few weeks, adding £150 to household bills”, said Natasha Rachel Smith, consumer affairs editor at TopCashback.

“This could leave drivers in a tight situation as other than carefully monitoring your driving style or using loyalty schemes to make spending go further, it’s hard to get a discount on fuel and counteract the hikes”.

Drivers have been forced with higher fuel prices in recent months, with oil prices rising to almost $69 per barrel in September – the highest in two years.

According to the RAC, filling up a 55-litre family car with petrol cost £65.55 whilst a tank of diesel cost £66.17 in late September.
