What happens if someone else beats you to that and uses your fuel points?
That's part of the fun. Sometimes you get someone else's fuel points too. It's kind of like gambling whenever you fuel up. Over the long term it probably evens out, or at least I feel like I get a fuel discount pretty often with it so I don't worry about it. Worse case I'm helping someone else save a few bucks, it doesn't feel like a problem.
I found a few stores that dont allow redeeming fuel with that phone number. Makes me think they set the account up for people to use, or the poor person who actually has that phone number got upset after their fuel points kept getting stolen
That's worth what... $1-2?
Yes that’s largely the joke, although I did once get $13 off in a single fill-up. It was the early days of the pandemic so between medicine refills and stocking up on groceries we’d maxed it out to $1/off per gallon. Combined with the plunge in gas prices it was the first time I’d paid under $1/gallon since the turn of the millennium.
