Pay with Gas Buddy

Anybody else see this?

Apparently it works like a fleet card. You get a plastic card to use at the pump, then you enter your PIN/DriverID and the money is directly debited from your checking account.

5 cents a gallon at most places. They specifically use the words gas and gasoline several places, so I would assume it doesn't apply to Diesel purchases unless someone knows otherwise. ARCO, BJs, Sam's, Costco and HEB are apparently the major chains who DON'T accept it.


ETA: $75 daily limit, and a $300 weekly limit

Existing loyalty discounts might still apply if they don't require use of a credit card.

This is accomplished via Wright Express, which is a very widely used fleet card company.
  • We recently returned from a cross country trip from Florida to Wyoming. We went with a Pilot/Flying J RV Plus card. Up to 8 cent of of diesel, not sure about gas. It worked well for us to plan our stops along the way and to be sure we could fit. We had to use the fill up areas for truckers, but it was no problem.

    Some Pilot/Flying J also have RV fill up stations, so we could use those, but they were more in the mid-west.

  • Had a Pacific Pride fueling card for years (Diesel and gas) and finally got rid of it. A normal Visa or Mastercard is just as good, especially a rewards card.

    Never heard of Rickers. Sounds like some sort of affliction....lol
  • In Indiana (and the OP is from Indiana), "Rickers" gas stations have their own card and it's tied to your checking account. It works for both Gas and Diesel, and get 5 cents off a gallon, except on Mondays when you get 10 cents off a gallon, either gas or diesel. Plus you get points when you use it in the stores when purchasing items, and things like... 5 donughts and the 6th one is free, or 5 cups of coffee the 6th is free type stuff.

    However, "Rickers" is not nation wide and the card is good only at a "Rickers" station. Still, I get my fuel at Rickers (locally), and just cringe when traveling having to stop at other stations for fuel.

    Might be good to explore a card that has a wider range.
