With skyrocketing fuel prices, any idea or initiative aimed at saving us a little money when it comes to refueling is always welcome. One of the most interesting is waylet, Repsol's free app that allows us to accumulate points (waylets) and pay less. In this post we are going to see how it works and how we can get the best performance from it.
"Waylet, mobile payments", as that is the full name of the application, is a service that belongs to the Repsol group of energy companies. It was conceived so that its users could refuel without having to go through the checkout. It is valid at all the service stations of the business group (Campsa, Petronor and Repsol), both for refueling and for recharging electric vehicles.
In addition to the savings represented by refueling with Waylet (which we will talk about later), one of the most interesting aspects of this option is the high level of security of your payment system, based on double check authentication and QR encoding.
It should also be noted that, beyond simple savings, by using Waylet we can access a series of and advantages such as special promotions or discounts in other establishments, as explained in more detail in your website.
How does Waylet work?
One of Waylet's strengths is that it is much more Easy to use than other similar competing applications. All we have to do is download it to our mobile phone and start using it as we explain below. These are the download links for Android and iOS:
Once the app is installed on our device, we have to register with our personal data, including a personal username and password, as well as an email that we will need for confirmations and in case of account recovery. Then you have to enter bank card details (It can be both debit and credit, even prepaid is admitted). After our personal and bank details have been confirmed, we can now use Waylet in the different establishments where they accept this form of payment.
Every time we pay with Waylet we will go accumulating points or waylets and we will go scaling in the different levels of the application.
Depending on the waylets that we accumulate, we will be placed in one of the four user levels, the details of which we explain below:
- Bronze or basic level.
- Silver, which increases the benefits by 10% when we use the app.
- Gold, which adds an additional 25% profit to the balance.
- Platinum. Just for reaching it we receive 5 euros as a gift, in addition to an additional 50% of balance and other advantages.
Is called "Waylet Balance" to the money that we generate with our purchases and that we can use later as a discount. Important: To make use of this balance in our next purchases it is necessary to have accumulated a minimum of 0,10 euros, without having canceled the account and having used it for 12 consecutive months.
Where can I pay with Waylet?
Many users are surprised when they learn the number of establishments where you can pay with the Waylet application. And it is that it is not only used to pay our refueling at Repsol group service stations, but we can also use it to buy and get discounts in more than 7.500 stores, both physical and online, which are affiliated with the Waylet program.
Here are some examples: Amazon, eBay, The Book House, Decathlon, El Corte Inglés, Ikea, Mediamarkt, Zalando… You can check the complete list on the Waylet website.
Tricks to get the most out of your Waylet
Just by downloading the app, Waylet gives us a welcome gift of 0,03 euros per liter for the first six months. If we also convince a friend to download the application and sign up for it, we will get a "friend code" of up to 3 euros in fuel discounts on refueling equal to or greater than 20 euros, a benefit that is as much for us as it is for him.
It is also interesting the collaboration between Rpsol and El Corte Inglés, from which we can benefit as Waylet users. When making purchases for more than 50 euros at El Corte Inglés, we will obtain up to 5 euros off at Repsol group stations. The same works the other way around: purchased for a value of 30 euros or more at Repsol stations, we get the same discount at El Corte Inglés.
In addition to this, if we have contracted Electricity and gas services for the home with Repsol, we are entitled to greater discounts at the stations, being able to accumulate up to a maximum of 150 euros in balance.
As you can see, Waylet can be a great ally not only to save a little money when we are going to get gas, but also to get many discounts and benefits in other businesses and all within our reach, easily, through our mobile phone. .
