Waylet, Repsol's firm proposal to pay with the iPhone

Cepsa was the first to seriously bet on mobile payments in Spain, making a great logistical effort so that most of the gas stations adapted to a means of payment as different from the usual as Cepsa Pay. This obviously it has not gone unnoticed For Repsol, which, although it has taken a long time to respond, the truth is that it has an alternative to match.

Ease

The main motivation for using these types of applications is to save time and money. To start with the positive points, it must be said that Waylet complies with both premises since it allows us to save queues when paying, as well as the same process of doing it. But more important perhaps, provides us with discounts simply by using the application, currently encrypted at 3 cents per liter, but that may vary. 

Waylet of course offers, as does his main competitor, the possibility of adding the entity's points card so as not to have to pass it on individually in the payment. And speaking of payment, we simply have to add a credit card and it will be done automatically without having to take it out of your pocket at any time, although in this regard we must recognize that Cepsa Pay can have some advantage by also working with PayPal, while Repsol has not opted for this.

Incentivizing

Although the applications that usually have achievements are those of health or video games, at Repsol they have thought that perhaps it was a good option to encourage the use of the application through a system of personal levels that are complemented with achievements per activity, something without a doubt curious in an app of this type. They give us waylet points for performing various tasks such as filling in personal data or filling up gasoline by paying with the app, to give two examples.

There are four levels (bronze, silver, gold and platinum) through which we access different promotions. For example, in silver we have additional discounts or raffles for washing, while in platinum we will enter raffles for tickets to cultural and VIP events. It is to be expected that Repsol will also add new incentives and rewards, since the application has just started working as it says.

It is, therefore, a worthy rival of Cepsa Pay and an essential application on your mobile to save money on each refueling of the orange oil company.

Finally, it should be noted that Repsol temporarily offers a promotion by which € 3 is discounted on any refueling of more than € 20, provided that it is recommended by someone. If you want to access this discount, you can use the code 2fy22234 once you download the application.
