Good Sam info states just use your card at the pump to receive discount on your gas. NOT TRUE! Stopped in Pearl,Ms the other day. Pump would not accept card nor my debit card---had to go inside and prepay (guessing how many gallons I needed). The girl gave me cash out of the drawer for the 3 cent discount per gallon. In Amarillo, the pump again would not take my card. It also cut off at $75; but I made sure the clerk discounted my ticket. In Winslow,Az at another Flying J, I had to go inside and give her my card before pumping gas. She did give me my discount on the ticket. I WILL USE LOVE'S, PILOT OR ANYONE ELSE SINCE FLYING J & GOOD SAM CAN'T SEEM TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER------NOT RV FRIENDLY.

We've never had a problem using our card except when we use the diesel lanes. The pumps there are not programmed to accept it. We have to go inside, estimate how much we will spend and then go back and pump it, then go back inside for a receipt. PITA! We did find one Pilot station that had 2 lanes marked "RV diesel" in the truck diesel area and those 2 pumps accepted our card. One time we didn't get the discount and I called corporate headquarters and they gave me a credit on my bill and promised to better train the cashier. Very good service at corporate. And one other thing. One station we stopped at in Montana didn't even accept the card. It was a joint venture?? I think you have to spend a certain amount before the card will allow you to turn on the pump and for fueling over the pump limit amount. Seems like I read that on the website.

Funny, my RV Plus Charge card works at the truck pumps as well as the auto pumps. I can pump as much as I want and never set foot in the store

Never had a problem at the truck diesel pumps or the rv pumps in the "car" area, and get the discount every time. Done all the states west of the Mississippi plus FL, SC, GA, LA, MS, OK.

Cash and any card that they give discounts on is the same cost per gal. So use a ATM and pay with cash if the discounted fuel is the issue.

I also was not able to use my card for 3 cent discount at the pump during a recent trip but will not go inside and block pump usage for others for the savings. I remember looking at my receipt for $100 in gasoline, at a different station, and noted my savings was 81 cents, about enough for 2.5 miles of "free" travel. I can easily save that much by cutting my driving speed 2-3 mph.

I could not get my Good Sams card to work at flying J. I loved flying J back when it was flying J, never did like pilot. Now that it is pilot/flying J I just don't stop anymore.

Also do not stop at BP as they have green pump handle on there gas pumps. Most everyone has green on diesel pump handle a few have black but only BP has green on gas. Do not want to put gas in my diesel truck so if I don't stop it will not happen.

Maybe the card works at the diesel pumps, but the two gas pumps did not recognize the GS card at any of the Flying J stations I stopped. Employees apparently not trained as well. SAD to advertise a policy before it is "put in place."

I have a Shell rewards card and it sucks as its only good on first 20 gal and it used to keep pumping and show the 20 gal discount. It now stops at 20 gal so i have all but quit using it unless its convenient.

I have a Shell fuel rewards and it sucks as its only on 20 gal. At first it would discount the first 20 gal and revert to full price on the rest but it now stops at 20 gal and have to start over. I just look for best price now and use rewards CC.

I had a fly j card from years ago, supposedly was discontinued but they accepted it last year. It was not a CC just a fuel discount card. Flyj and pilot are now one and same and before the merger i prferred fly j to all others. Now TA has a .03 savings as they have teamed with shell and I guess the card is good at shell and ta stations according to the clerk.

Still havent filled out the form guess will do now, but I really dont get all excited about .03/gal but sometimes if not in a hurry will use.

I did not realize there were different levels of membership for Good Sam.
My card is for a plain vanilla "Member" and states "Swipe & Save for Extra Discounts" across the front. Maybe my lower membership status is the reason my card is not recognized at all locations and gets 3 cents/gal on gasoline?

Not quite true. The discount using the RVPlus card is off of the cash price.

From the RV Plus Card page:

The amount of discount depends on one Good Sam Club status - Member, Life Member, or Elite Member. The amount of discount on diesel ranges from 6¢/gal to 9¢/gal, in the US.

We've used our card in NC, SC, GA, TN, VA, KY, IL, IN, WI, MN, MT without a problem.
