Hi Seattle Lion,
All membership levels save 3¢ on fuel when using the Good Sam Club Swipe & Save membership card. You save more when using the RV Plus Charge Card, which is what I believe you’re referring to since you referenced a pin # (required with the RV Plus Charge Card, and no pin #s necessary with the Swipe & Save membership card). As a Deluxe member, you now save 5¢ on gas and 7¢ on diesel with the RV Plus Charge Card (requires separate application process).
To clear up your points:
1. As noted in the RV Travel Guide, the Ellensburg, WA location is a “dealer” location, which means the discount is only available in the truck diesel lanes. Recently, we created a “sticky” thread that stays at the top of the listings—called 2 Ways to Save on Fuel at Pilot Flying J. This thread answers the question as to why the discount is available at “select” locations and explains a “dealer” location.
2. Same thing with both Spokane locations—both are “dealer” locations.
3. The RV Plus Charge Card is not being discontinued. See the question on the Pilot Flying J RV MyRewards card in the Swipe & Save Membership Card FAQs--this may be what the person was referring to when saying a card is being discontinued.
I recommend reading the 2 Ways to Save on Fuel at Pilot Flying J thread post as it provides valuable information and links you to the RV Travel Guide and the online FAQs on both the Good Sam Club Swipe & Save membership card and the Pilot Flying J RV Plus Charge Card.
Sincerely,
Good Sam Club Team
