Fuel cards

Where each fuel card works

A fuel card puts your fuel on one account and one invoice instead of a glovebox full of receipts. The catch is acceptance: each card only works at certain networks. Below is how many servos on the WayBeacon map each card is commonly accepted at, state by state, and one tap shows you exactly which ones.

How the cards compare

Where each card is accepted, by state

Acceptance here is by brand, from each card's published network. Discounts and terms vary by card, plan and fuel volume, individual sites can differ, and acceptance changes as brands change hands (Caltex → Ampol, Coles Express → Reddy Express), so always confirm at the pump. WayBeacon isn't affiliated with any card issuer.
