I carry both the PFJ Frequent Fueler card and the RV Plus Charge card. For the past few years I have been primarily going to the RV pumps and using the Frequent Fueler card to get a .03 discount, and then paying with my PenFed 5% rebate card. As far as I can remember the purchase was processed as a cash transaction. If the RV lanes were too crowded or inaccessible, I would use my RV Plus card at the truck pumps and get .08¢ off the case price. In both cases I would swipe at the pump and never had to go inside.
I understand the Frequent Fueler card is being replaced with the Swipe & Save card.
If I understand PFJ's program now anytime you use a credit card the purchase will be processed at the credit card price. From PFJ's site
So if the cash price is $3.00 and the credit price is $3.10. The transactions would break down as follows:
Using Swipe & Save and PenFed credit card at the RV pumps:
3.10 credit price
-.03 Swipe & Save discount
3.07 Sub total
-.15 PenFed 5% rebate
2.92 Total
Using RV Plus Charge card at the truck pumps:
3.00 cash price
-.08 GS discount
2.92 Total
Looks like I will be using the truck pumps all the time now, which I can usually get into quicker, fuel faster with larger nozzles and not get blocked in when I'm done fueling.
12/24/14 update. I have a correction to make to the above, at least for the time being. I just completed a trip from AL to NV. At my first PFJ fuel stop I decided to see what price (cash or credit) I would be charged if using my Frequent Fueler card and paying with my PenFed CC at the RV pumps. In that first stop and every subsequent one when I used my FF/PenFed cards at the RV pumps, the discount was off the cash price.
I have a feeling from what I've read on PFJ's site that the information in the link I previously posted will take effect after 1/31/15.
