Ampol 4+

Drive in fill up drive off

This app makes my life so much easier and feels like you’re actually stealing because you’re getting it at such a cheaper price (for the first three fillups) no more walking up Lining up seeing all the junk food you just in Fill up and drive off and you can link your Woolworths rewards so you’re always saving points
Also with the coronavirus about what better way to social distance but remember to sanitise your hands after using the pump
Maybe Caltex can lead the way in having Sanitary hand wipes near the pumps because nobody else has wipes

After the first 3 fills, What’s the point?

I have had the app since last year, and whilst it works as expected, I have encountered the following negatives that lead me to ask “what’s the point?”
1. Taking me to the nearest Ampol and then discovering that their system is down so cannot use the app.
2. Taking me to the nearest Ampol & they don’t even have the system to allow using the app. This seems to be the majority of stations.
3. Having to wait for the payment to process and then show the attendant that I’ve paid (usually by standing in front of my car, holding up my phone) before I drive off, for fear that they’ll think they just had a drive-off (given how common an occurrence drive-off’s are now).
4. No discounts once the first three have been used (only the occasional extra one when inviting friends to get the app). I get discounts from other suppliers for every visit because I have particular rewards memberships, and it adds up to a significant discount with the quantity of litres I purchase.

I use a fuel price app to tell me which supplier has the cheapest fuel nearest to me, since the Ampol app doesn’t tell me that information.
I work out where I will go according to the price I will pay (taking into account any discounts).
I will gladly walk in to talk to the staff member (also ensuring that they keep their job) just to get several dollars discount per tank, so again I ask,
what is the point of the Ampol app?

New version is difficult to use

This used to be a really simple app to use for fuel payment. But the latest version I find hard to follow, the text is too small and blue text colour hard to read. I just filled up and thought I had paid after struggling to find the page where you insert the pump number, started to drive off and had another look while waiting for traffic and found I had not paid. Please make it easier to use.
