Bonuses SberThank you They have long ceased to be just a “virtual trifle” - with the right approach, they can be converted into real savings on fuel. This has become especially relevant in 2026, when gasoline prices continue to rise and loyalty programs expand partner networks. But how exactly to spend it? SberThank you at gas stations, which gas stations are participating in the program, and how to avoid running into pitfalls? In this article we will look at all the nuances - from basic rules to little-known tricks that will help you save even more.
It is important to understand that the mechanism for writing off bonuses at gas stations is different from regular purchases in supermarkets. It has its own limits, return percentages and even hidden fees at some gas stations (we'll talk about them separately). Also, not all Sberbank cards are equally beneficial for paying for fuel. If you don’t yet know how to link a bonus account to a card or how to check your balance SberThank you right at the gas station, this instruction will be your salvation.
Which gas stations will accept SberSpasibo in 2026?
The list of partner gas stations is regularly updated, but today the following networks participate in the program (indicating the percentage of bonuses returned):
- 🔥 Gazpromneft — up to 5% cashback with bonuses (when paying with a Sberbank card)
- ⛽ Lukoil — up to 3% return, but only when purchasing from 1000 ₽
- 🚗 Rosneft — 2% cashback, plus periodic “double cash back” promotions
- 💰 Tatneft — fixed 1% bonuses, but no minimum purchase amount
- 🔄 Bashneft — 4% return, but only for holders of Sberbank premium cards
Please note: some refills (for example, Shell or BP) do not officially participate in the program, but can accept bonuses through intermediaries - for example, when paying through the service SberPay in the mobile application. However, in this case, the return percentage is often reduced to 0.5–1%.
It is also worth taking into account regional characteristics. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg almost all of the listed networks support SberThank you, and in remote regions (for example, the Far East or Siberia), the choice may be limited to 1-2 brands. Before your trip, check the current list of partners in the app SberBank Online or on the program website.
⚠️ Attention: At some gas stations (especially franchised ones), cashiers may claim that bonuses are not accepted, although the chain officially participates in the program. In this case, ask to see the program rules or call the Sberbank hotline (900).
Step-by-step instructions: how to pay for fuel with bonuses
Write-off process SberThank you at a gas station is easier than it seems, but requires preparation. Here is a universal algorithm that works at most gas stations:
- Step 1. Check your bonus balance. Open the application SberBank Online, go to section
Bonuses → SberThanks. Make sure that the amount is enough to pay (1 bonus = 1 ruble). - Step 2. Select dispenser and fuel type. At some gas stations (for example, Gazpromneft) you must first pay for fuel and then fill it up. On others (for example, Lukoil) - first refuel, and then go to the cashier.
- Step 3. Tell the cashier that you want to pay with bonuses. Phrase: "I want to write off SberThank you for this purchase." Important: at some gas stations you need to indicate the exact amount of the write-off up to payment.
- Step 4: Confirm the operation. The cashier will enter your phone number (linked to the card) or scan the QR code from the application. After this, the bonuses will be written off, and the balance (if the purchase amount is larger) can be paid by card or cash.

If you are refueling at Rosneft or Bashneft, additional confirmation via SMS may be required. Also, at some gas stations there is a rule: no more than 50% of the check amount can be paid with bonuses. For example, if you filled up with gas for 2000 ₽, then you can write off only 1000 bonuses, and the rest - in other ways.
How many bonuses can I spend on fuel?
Write-off limits SberThank you at a gas station depend on two factors: the rules of a particular gas station and the type of your Sberbank card. General restrictions for 2026 look like this:
| Card type | Maximum bonuses for 1 operation | Maximum bonuses per month | Return percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic (debit) | 1000 bonuses | 5000 bonuses | up to 3% |
| Gold/Premium | 3000 bonuses | 15,000 bonuses | up to 5% |
| Credit | 2000 bonuses | 10,000 bonuses | up to 2% |
| Youth (14–25 years old) | 500 bonuses | 2000 bonuses | up to 1% |
Important: these limits apply only for gas stations. In supermarkets or cafes the restrictions are different. Also some gas stations (for example, Tatneft) set their own limits - for example, no more than 1,500 bonuses per day, regardless of the type of card.
One more nuance: if you pay for fuel partially bonuses, and partly - money from the card, then cashback will be credited only for the amount you paid in rubles. For example, when purchasing for 2000 ₽, you wrote off 1000 bonuses and paid an additional 1000 ₽ by card. In this case, cashback will be calculated only from 1000 ₽.
If you have accumulated a lot of bonuses, but the limits at gas stations do not allow you to write them off at once, break the purchase into several receipts. For example, first pay 1000 bonuses for gasoline, then 1000 bonuses for car wash or oil in a gas station store.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Even experienced drivers sometimes encounter problems when paying for fuel with bonuses. Here are the most common mistakes and ways to solve them:
- 🚫 Bonuses are not written off, although there is a balance. Reason: the card is not linked to the program SberThank you or linked but not activated. Solution: go to the application, check the card status in the section
Bonuses → My cards. - 🔄 The cashier says bonuses are not accepted. Reason: The gas station officially participates in the program, but the cashier does not know the rules. Solution: show the list of partners in the Sberbank application on your phone or call the hotline.
- 💳 The write-off went through, but the bonuses were not returned. Reason: at some gas stations, cashback is credited with a delay of up to 5 days. Solution: Check your transaction history in the app after a week. If you haven’t received your bonuses, write to support.
- ⚠️ You cannot pay more than 50% of the check with bonuses. Reason: gas station internal rules. Solution: divide the purchase into two receipts (for example, first pay for fuel, then pay for the purchase in the store when refueling).
Another typical problem: at some gas stations (especially Lukoil) bonuses are debited only upon payment after refueling, and not before it. If you first paid with a card and then decided to pay with bonuses, this will not work. Always check the procedure with the cashier.
What to do if the bonuses have been written off, but the fuel has not been filled?
If for some reason the payment with bonuses went through, but you were unable to refuel (for example, failures at the pump), the money will be returned to your bonus account within 3-7 days. However, if the problem arose due to your error (for example, you changed your mind about refueling), bonuses may not be returned. In this case, call Sberbank support and explain the situation - sometimes they will accommodate you halfway.
How to accumulate more bonuses to pay for fuel?
To save money at gas stations regularly, you need to not only spend SberThank you, but also actively save them. Here are some proven methods:
