What is different about Snow Sports NZ Fuel Card discounts?

The Snow Sports NZ Fuel Card differs to other fuel cards because there are multiple options for purchasing discounted fuel (BP and Mobil).

What are the Snow Sports NZ discounts on fuel?

The BP and Mobil fuel cards offer discounts indexed against the national price (the average price in Wellington and Auckland) irrespective of where fuel is purchased. This equates to a significant discount off the pump price (e.g. up to 20 cents per litre) in ski towns like Ohakune, National Park, Methven, Tekapo, Wanaka and Queenstown. Mobil also offers a second option based on a fixed discount off the pump price which works well in larger metropolitan areas (e.g. Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin).

Where can I use the Snow Sports NZ Fuel Card?

A map of the participating fuel stations is available on the Kiwi Fuelcards website. The map is useful for determining which fuel card(s) to opt for based on the location of fuel sites close to where people live and play. BP cards are also accepted at most g.a.s fuel stations throughout New Zealand.
