The company from Płock introduced the promotion every weekend from March 12, and extended it until Monday on holidays. Each driver who activates the coupon in the Orlen Vitay application and makes non-fuel purchases for a minimum of PLN 5 will receive a discount of PLN 35 per liter of fuel (up to 50 liters of gasoline or diesel oil). In the case of refueling only, without additional purchases, the discount will be 20 cents per liter after activating the coupon. This means that drivers using the application will definitely not pay more than:
- PLN 5.86 per liter of 95 petrol
- PLN 6.47 per liter of 98 petrol
- PLN 7.52 per liter of diesel fuel
The promotion is valid for a maximum of 50 liters of fuel. This means that it allows you to save PLN 17.50 if you use the maximum promotion limit, and in the case of refueling only, the saving will be PLN 10.
The promotion is valid at all Orlen stations and will last until May 3.
