Here are my points:
I did use the truck lanes in both cases. I read the directory. In each case, Flying J found a way to avoid giving me the discount.
In the Spokane location they flat out refused to give me any discount. We ended up adding a few gallons to get us to an honest dealer.

Marcus, if you read this thread, you should be aware that GS's and your reputation are being hurt by these less-than-honest tactics.

All three dealers available to me fail to give me the promised benefit. Am I the only one that thinks there is a problem with this so-called benefit.

Hi Seattle Lion,
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.

This thread answers the question as to why the discount is available at “select” locations and explains a “dealer” location.

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.
