What Are Ampol Points — And How Do You Actually Use Them?
A plain-English guide to what you're really earning when you fill up at Ampol — and the smartest ways to turn it into savings.
Search for "Ampol points" and you'll find a lot of confusion, and there's a simple reason for it: Ampol doesn't have its own points program. There's no "Ampol point" you collect and spend. What you're actually earning when you fill up is Everyday Rewards points — the Woolworths program — because Ampol runs its consumer loyalty as a partnership rather than a scheme of its own.
That sounds like a technicality, but it changes how you should think about every fill-up. The points you earn at the pump live in the same balance as the ones from your Woolworths shop, and they're spent the same ways. This guide covers how to earn them at Ampol, the two main ways to cash them out, the fuel discounts that sit alongside them, and the mistakes that quietly cost people value.
So what are you actually earning?
Everyday Rewards points. You collect 1 point for every $1 you spend on fuel or in-store at participating Ampol Foodary locations across mainland Australia. (Tasmanian sites are currently excluded, and the network is roughly 550 stores.) Because it's the Everyday Rewards balance, fuel points and grocery points pool together — so a slow trickle at the pump adds to whatever you're already banking at Woolworths, BWS and BIG W, and you hit redemption thresholds faster than fuel alone would suggest.
Two ways to make sure your fill counts
Scan your Everyday Rewards card
The card — or its digital version in the Everyday Rewards app — works at the register the same way it does at the supermarket.
Link the Ampol app + pay with FuelPay
Link your Everyday Rewards card inside the Ampol app and points are collected automatically when you pay from your phone at the pump — no scanning, no forgetting.
If you don't scan or link, the fill earns nothing — and there's no way to claim it later. It's the single most common way points are left on the table.
How to use the points
$10 off your shop
For every 2,000 points, you get $10 off an eligible shop at Woolworths, BWS or BIG W. It's the default, and for most people the most reliable value — effectively cash off something you were going to buy anyway.
Convert to Qantas Points
Convert Everyday Rewards points to Qantas Points at a 2:1 rate (2,000 becomes 1,000) if you've linked your Frequent Flyer number. Worth it if you're chasing a specific flight — but if the miles would just sit there, the straight $10 off is usually the smarter call. See what Qantas Points are worth.
Beyond points: the fuel discounts
Separate from the points themselves, Ampol runs fuel discounts worth knowing about. These don't cost you points, so treat them as a bonus on top:
- 4c per litre when you spend $30 or more at select Woolworths supermarkets and scan your Everyday Rewards card — redeem it at a participating Ampol within 28 days.
- 6c per litre off your first three fills when you pay with FuelPay in the Ampol app (up to 150L per fill).
- Referral discounts — an extra 6c per litre for each friend you refer who completes their first FuelPay fill.
One catch: these app discounts generally can't be stacked by AmpolCard (business fuel card) customers, and EV charging through AmpCharge doesn't earn Everyday Rewards points.
Common mistakes
- Filling up without scanning or linking. The most expensive habit is the simplest one — a fill that isn't linked to your account earns nothing, and it can't be claimed after the fact.
- Assuming "Ampol points" are their own thing. Because they're Everyday Rewards points, you don't need to track a separate balance or hunt for Ampol-only redemptions. Everything flows through one account.
- Converting to Qantas on autopilot. The 2:1 conversion only pays off if you'll actually use the Qantas Points well. For a lot of people, $10 off the weekly shop beats miles they'll never redeem.
- Letting a balance sit until it expires. Points aren't an investment that grows — they're a currency that can lapse. If you've built up a balance you're not using, redeem it rather than hoard it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Ampol have its own loyalty program?
No. Ampol's consumer loyalty runs on Everyday Rewards, the Woolworths program. There's no standalone 'Ampol points' currency — the points you earn at the pump are Everyday Rewards points, sitting in the same balance as the ones from your Woolworths shop.
How many points do I earn at Ampol?
One Everyday Rewards point per $1 spent on fuel or in-store at participating Ampol Foodary locations on mainland Australia, as long as you scan or link your Everyday Rewards card. Tasmanian sites are currently excluded.
What are 2,000 Ampol (Everyday Rewards) points worth?
$10 off an eligible shop at Woolworths, BWS or BIG W — or 1,000 Qantas Points if you choose to convert instead (a 2:1 rate).
Do Ampol points expire?
The points are Everyday Rewards points, and those expire after 18 months of inactivity — meaning no earning or spending of any point on the account for that period. Any activity resets the clock. Check Everyday Rewards' own terms for the current rules before making decisions.
What's the smartest way to think about the value?
Compare the redemption against what you'd actually spend cash on. For most people, $10 off a shop they do every week is more useful than converting to miles that sit unused — regardless of what a points blog quotes as the 'ceiling' value.
Turn points you'd never use into gift cards
Everyday Rewards and Qantas Points are useful — but plenty of Australians end up with balances they never quite spend. Mavitra converts loyalty points into gift cards for everyday brands. Points in, gift cards out.
