The PenFed card will give you 5% cash back on any gas or diesel pump where you can swipe the card.
Called Pilot today: The Pilot Frequent Fueler RV card is no longer available. Instead use the Swipe and Save GS card. :(
Called GS today: The Swipe and Save card is free IF you join GS or extend your membership (for say 1 year). My membership ends in July 2014 and they will not send me a Swipe and Save card until I extend my membership. :( The Swipe and Save card does give you 3 cents/gallon off of the price at Pilot but they didn't know if that was off of the cash or credit price. It will also start the truck pump. They also did not know if the 8 cents/gallon AZ truck diesel tax would be taken off of the price since I have a light duty diesel and do not have to pay the AZ truck tax. :(
Too bad Pilot discontinued its program. To bad GS doesn't know what their card offers including the AZ truck tax and this included the person I talked to and his supervisor.
Can a GS Administrator answer my questions?
I don't believe what GS told you about the Swipe & Save card being able to start the truck pumps is correct. Here is my previous post that I made after speaking with PFJ.

And the rest of the story is the GS "Swipe and Save" card will not have the truck pump start feature. So after Jan 1, 2015 the only card that will start the truck pumps will be the RV Plus charge card. I asked PFJ why they were doing away with the pump start feature, and they said it was because of too many drive offs, but not necessarily by RV'ers. OTR drivers were obtaining the pump start enabled cards, fueling and then driving off.
Since PFJ is no longer issuing their own pump start card (with the exception of the RV Plus charge card) because of the OTR trucker drive off problem, it really wouldn't make much sense to then have that feature activated on a GS Swipe & Save card. OTR truckers would then just simply get a Swipe & Save card.
