Can RVers get the cash price for diesel at Flying J/Pilot?

Last time I was at Flying J, their free card would get you the discount at the gas pumps without a Goodsam card.

They had a big ad campaign for their Flying J branded discount card.
The card was free and it also offered 10% off all purchases inside the store.

for years I've got the cash price at pilot/flying J using my pen fed visa gas card. It has never charged me the credit card price. Get the cash price and a 5% rebate every month as well. even better than paying cash.

Also + 3 cents off with FJ RV card.

Again, only slightly off-topic :)

Even with the alleged "discounts", FJ is rarely the best price choice.

Go to gasbuddy.com to determine up to day pricing. And yes, there is a separate diesel section.

FJ lost my business years ago.

yup it all adds up when you travel a lot. between Kroger's rewards, flying J, Penfed we save a lot on fuel.

Pilot Flying J's website states you need to be a Good Sam member to get the discount card. I guess I will have to call them. I only want the card to get the cash price at the truck pumps and for the pump start feature. I am not so concerned about the discount.

Yes, you can pay a little less off the beaten path, but since we are short on time and the entire trip is on I-80 it just isn't worth it trying to find a station to save a few bucks. If we have to drive 3 miles off the interstate we burn at least a gallon of fuel for the round trip. Saving five cents a gallon would just cover the extra fuel expense. There is also the issue that our rig is 67 feet long with trailer.

We have the Pilot/FlyingJ plus card. We always use the truck lanes. They fill faster than the rv lanes. We have them take it out of our checking account so we have a 2500 dollar limit, otherwise you get a 1,000 dollar limit. If we hit the limit we just pay the bill and are good for another 2500. We get 7 cents off the cash price.

If you have the old Flying J card it will still work. You will get the cash price and $.03 off the price. The non-credit card Good Sam card will only give $.03 off but you pay the credit price. The credit card give the cash price and the amount off depends on if you are a Good Sam member. I have been using my old Flying J card for the last 2 years and have not had a problem with it. If you don't have the old card then you have to be a Good Sam member to get a card.

I think I still have my old RV card somewhere. I called them in the past year or two to ask how to get my RV card activated so I could do pump start at the truck pumps. They said they would no longer activate old cards to do that. I had to get one of the new Good Sam cards.

I called Pilot Flying J today and they confirmed there is no other option for an RV card if you are not a Good Sam member.

I am not going to worry about a few cents here and there. Hit the truck stop at the time I need fuel, hit the truck lanes the wife goes inside and pays and of course shops while I am fueling. I give her a call then hangup indicating I am done so she can pay. I pull ahead she finishes in side then comes out with her purchases and we are on our way!

Easy off and back on the freeway.

I get 5% off with my pen fed card so that is better then the few cents off of the card. Go ask for a frequent fueled card. They had them for truckers I think too. Have to pump 500 gallons on the card before the auto start feature worked but that was easy to hit with a 200 gallon tank. I like the truck lanes as they are fast pumps but sometimes they are stacked up and then I hit the RV lanes.
