This week prices rose again at service stations across the country.
In the case of the City of Buenos Aires, after increasing
super gasoline by 4%
, each liter now costs at least
$156.80
.
The
premium
, meanwhile, suffered an adjustment greater than
6%
and went to $197.40 as a minimum, although in several loading docks it
crossed the $200 barrier
.
Faced with this batch of increases, and the
next two
that are already scheduled for February and March, motorists can get some relief if they make an effort to
always load with discounts
, taking advantage of promotions that are usually
only available on specific days
of each week. or of the month
with the apps of the oil companies and with different cards.
What few know is a
new offer
that allows anyone interested to go to a YPF service station on
any day of the week
and load fuel with a
15% discount
.
This is a benefit only applicable to purchases of Infinia products: that is,
premium gasoline
and premium
diesel
.
It is similar to the 15% savings that the state company offers on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
The difference is that, for the discount to be available
every day
, the customer must meet
an extra requirement
.
The goal is to always pay less than what the pump marks.

What is the trick to access the 15% discount at Infinia every day?
According to the conditions of the offer -valid until at least February 5-, you not only have to be a member of the Serviclub program and pay from your cell phone using the
official application
of the oil company, as is usual for the rest of the promotions.
In order to have the 15% discount on Infinia
any day of the week
, the company requires those interested to use the YPF App as a
virtual wallet
, which requires carrying out some
prior procedures
with the cell phone.
"Money in account": how is the means of payment that enables the greatest discount in YPF?
With this modality, which replaces cash or card payments, the YPF App becomes
an account
with a Uniform Virtual Key (CVU), just like those offered by apps such as Mercado Pago or Ualá.
And the idea is that the client
first
transfers
to that personal wallet in YPF the funds that he will later use to purchase gasoline or diesel.
In other words, a prepaid
system is transferred to fuel loads,
such as the one applied when someone loads a balance on the SUBE or on a mobile line to consume it from then on.
Thus, when a customer has their account enabled and money deposited there, after filling the tank and scanning the
pump's
QR code , they can select in the app that they will pay with "
money in account
" (instead of indicating a card).
That is the way that allows you to access the
15% discount
no matter what day it is.
Step by step, how to open the virtual wallet for free in the YPF App?
The YPF app now works as a virtual wallet with CVU, but you have to take care of activating the option.

1. In the application, press the "
Deposit money
" button.
Or display the side menu (with the button on the top left) and enter "
My wallet
".
2. Look for the option that invites you to enter money to make payments and then go to "
Create account
" to start the process.
3. Activate an extra
security measure
for the app, such as the use of the fingerprint (on cell phones with this function).
4. Take a
selfie
-type photo of your face on a smooth and clear background so that you can
validate your identity
remotely before the National Registry of Persons (Renaper).
5. After entering the CUIL, the
account is created
and the app confirms that
money
can now be deposited .
How to load money in the YPF wallet to be able to pay for gasoline with a 15% discount?
But for now it is only possible to load balance in the YPF App by depositing funds through
transfers
from other virtual wallets (with
CVU
) or from bank accounts (with
CBU
).
For that, it will be necessary:
1.
Obtain the CVU
.
You can find out and copy it in the "My wallet" section of the YPF App, entering "
Money in your account
" and then "
See Alias and CVU
".
The wallet can be loaded by its owner or by anyone else sending money to CVU.

2.
Adhere the CVU
.
Access the account in which the money is held by the usual means (app, home banking or ATM) and add the CVU or Alias of the YPF wallet to the list of transfer recipients.
3.
Send the funds
.
Transfer to the YPF App the money that is planned to be used in the next fuel load(s).
Once this is completed, the amount sent
will appear in the wallet
immediately or at most in minutes.
And it can now be used at YPF stations to pay for both gasoline and other products and services.
The balance of the wallet then appears among the means of payment available in the app to pay charges and purchases.

How much money can be saved with the promotion and how to make the most of it?
With the 15% discounts that are obtained by paying with "money on account", YPF allows you to save up to
$400 per week
, a maximum that is reached if you load
$2,666
(13.5 liters of Infinia gasoline in Capital ).
If the purchase is larger, the rebate is still $400.
Therefore, to take full advantage of the promo, it will be convenient to load no more than
$2,666 each week
, instead of buying the same number of liters at once.
Whoever has done this since the beginning of the month will be able to end January having saved about
$2,000
.
This discount
is not cumulative
with others, but there is an exception.
By presenting their card, members of the Automóvil Club Argentino have access to an extra 5% at participating stations, which increases the benefit to
20%
.
