The month of September means for many Spanish families the return to routine. In just a few days, children and adults go from lying on the beach to having to adapt again to schedules and obligations. In addition, it is time to rebalance the domestic economy after the expenses of the holidays and plan the dreaded and often desired return to school of the little ones.

Several studies estimate that the expenses per child to start the school year, not counting the cost of tuition, transport and extracurricular activities, can exceed 400 euros. To help them meet these expenses and make "the September slope" more bearable, Repsol has decided to double the discounts it has been offering for months to drivers who use the Waylet app to pay for their refueling and recharging. A basic exercise to balance the accounts of that small business we call "family".

Discounts to refuel or recharge the car

Last April, Repsol launched a pioneering initiative in Spain to help its customers save money, the "Energy Plans", which are based on a simple formula: the more energy you have contracted, the greater the discounts that will be obtained when paying for fuel or electric recharging.

Now, coinciding with the "back to school" operation, the energy company has doubled the amount of these discounts. Until October 15, drivers who pay with the Waylet app can accumulate savings in balance of between 10 and 40 cents per liter of gasoline or diesel. If they are users of an electric car, the savings will range between 6% and 100% of the recharging they make both at public points and at service stations.

Let's look at two practical examples of the savings that can be achieved. At home we have contracted with Repsol electricity, natural gas and solar panels, so, when refueling our car, the Waylet app will return 40 cents for each liter of fuel. If until mid-October we refuel 160 liters, the total saving will amount to 64 euros.

If we have an electric car, the recharges will be free of charge by having three energies contracted with Repsol, since the discount that corresponds to us is 100%. With a consumption of 160 kWh during the promotion, we would obtain a balance in Waylet of 160 euros, a more than interesting discount to finance the purchase of uniforms, books or notebooks for our children.

Discounted gift cards

Another way to save is to make our purchases with the gift cards that can be purchased in Waylet. Depending on the number of energy contracts we have with Repsol, the savings can reach up to 40% of the expenditure made in stores such as Amazon.es, El Corte Inglés, AliExpress, Decathlon or Ikea, to name just a few of the associated brands. The cards can be purchased in the "Benefits" section of Waylet and, enjoying the same advantages, in the private area of repsol.es.

Of course, not everything is going to be shopping for children. If we prefer to invest everything saved in our daily expenses, it is important to remember that the accumulated balance in Waylet can also be exchanged for refueling at Repsol service stations, charging points, car washes, parking meters and purchases at any of the more than 4,400 establishments attached to the Waylet network. In addition, it can be converted into discount coupons for our electricity and gas bills and make purchases in the online store of the energy company.
