Almost every gas station chain has a rewards program nowadays, but just like the different credit card point currencies, they’re not created equal. In fact, some of them are vastly different. For example, some chains offer points, which are redeemable for gift cards, while others offer per gallon discounts. They all offer rewards, but depending on your preferences, some are better than others.
If you don’t already have a gas station preference, this post will help you decide what one you should put your loyalty in, based on their rewards program.
How They Work
These reward programs work similar to shopping portals. You get the reward or bonus on top of any credit card points, miles, or cash back you earn. So, there’s really no reason not to sign-up for one or all of these programs.
Guide
Name of Rewards Program (and link)
- Sign-up Bonus: This is the bonus you receive for signing up with the program.
- Everyday Bonus: This is the bonus you receive every time you swipe your card at the pump, regardless of whether you have any rewards in your account or not.
- How to Earn: These are the different ways you can earn rewards with this program.
- Gallon Limit: This is the gallon limit when you use rewards. For example, if you have $2.00 off per gallon and there’s a 20 gallon limit, you can save a maximum of $40 if you use the whole 20 gallons.
- Notes: This is where I can write any information pertaining to that specific rewards program.
- Rating: This is where I will put my rating of the reward system. I haven’t tried all of these programs out, due to many of them being region specific, but each rating is based on my research. Here is what the different ratings mean:
- 1/5 – The rewards are far too difficult and/or expensive to earn and there’s no sign-up bonus or everyday bonus.
- 2/5 – The rewards are a tad bit expensive to earn and there’s not an everyday bonus or a sign-up bonus.
- 3/5 – The rewards are easy to earn, but there’s not an everyday bonus or a sign-up bonus.
- 4/5 – The rewards are easy to earn and there’s an everyday bonus OR a sign-up bonus.
- 5/5 – There is a sign-up bonus, an everyday bonus, and there are plenty of ways to earn rewards.
