    If I'm getting gas in the morning in my company vehicle and 1 of many other company vehicles from my company happened to be filling up at the same station that morning before departing for the day , could I submit all of the receipts and stack the rewards?

    They must know more than the past 4 digits. The first digit is the card identification number. It indicates visa, MasterCard, etc. That’s how it knew what kind of card it was.

      @@hollywood6581 But what is the “program”? That’s what I’m confused about. If I’m a station owner why am I going to be paying this company to give money back to users when I can lower gas prices by a dime to take customers away from my closest competitor?

    • @MrBayoucat1
      @MrBayoucat1 Рік тому +1

      Sure he can just lower his price! But, with this app it’s now called volume my friend. This app is able to drive sales upon sales to this gas station. Personally I drive sometimes a couple miles out the way to snatch that .25¢ savings vs. 04¢ savings where I presently may be. Not only you getting the gas sale. Think about the foot traffic flowing through the aisle of all that jacked up gas station prices. Cha-Ching

      @stuckhere90 2 роки тому

      I get lots of choices. The app scans for those that it can be used at, and will let you know what you will save at each one. Just so you know, it can be used not only for gas, but restaurants and grocery stores as well.

      10 dollar minimum cash out. you can transfer yo a bank account or PayPal. they also have tons of gift cards (I do these). The gift cards are egift cards emailed around 22-48 hours after redemption.
      I have a 30 gallon tank so takes 2-3 fill ups for me to get to my minimum and I fill up 1 to 2 times a week. have around 120 back so fat in 4.5 months

  • @emiliodeleon9078
    @emiliodeleon9078 2 роки тому +1

    So it doesn't discount it at the pump ? So your technically still paying 5.98 a gallon when it says on the app pay 5.12 a gallon at this gas station claim this now your not even getting half of your money back the guy got 60 bucks in a month when he probably spent 150 total in gas

    • @MrBayoucat1
      @MrBayoucat1 Рік тому +1

      I don’t follow you all the way… but he said $60.00 in the past 6 months. Your Paying 5.98 technically? If it says pay 5.12 on app that means you save .86¢ per gallon. So put 20 gallons in your vehicle you will get the 17.20 into your account in 3-7 days. So technically it discounts 3-7 days after you put gas into your vehicle.
      The premise is if your buying the gas anyway? Right, so take 15 seconds to open app check in.
