trading up to a DP, wondering about fuel program

[btilfan]

So I'll be taking delivery of my (new to me) DP this week and have seen some youtube's about this TSD logistics fuel program. Has anyone done this?
When I checked out the website they wanted my SSN to sign up.
that sort of scared me off. Is it lagit?

I can understand the anxiety with the hackers out there. I suspect their data and server farm security is as robust as most banks. That would be a rational question to ask of them. Most banks have security that exceeds 256bit encryption which is renders them reasonably safe assuming your password is as robust.

I have never tried to pull my 40' DP with a towed into a Sams's club gas station and I never plan to do so. I want easy, safe in and out as I travel the Country Nationwide. I don't have the luxury of knowing that my "home town" gas station has room for me. I never know where I am going to have to stop for fuel and this program has saved me hundreds of dollars. Nothing bad here!

I have not gotten it for two main reasons... I can find (with the help of GassBuddy) equal or better savings (over the last 10 years) and I would have to open a separate checking account (to limit my $$ exposure). In the N Houston example ^^^^ $1.40 (not sure if that’s after the 5% TSD charges) as I found $1.49 - .07 (cash back) = $1.42 using a Sam’s credit card.

With the price per barrel today going to below zero(not sure how they determine this) I guess that the stations may be paying you to get fuel. :B

Not a credit card a direct debit from your checking account ... same as the water company etc May do ... just google “ACH withdrawal” . Most are saving 20-30 cents minimum over best price plus credit kickback. And no looking and finding backwater stations ... best price I’ve found is Loves and even with the high pump prices they have ... the discount beats anything around.
Do what you want ... look it up on the forums or google it and for over a year many are saving big $ .

The Love's in North Houston has diesel for $1.404 a gallon with the EFS/TSD card. And with the Love's app I don't have to go inside. I can turn on the pump from the seat of my motorhome. If you buy diesel you can save a lot of dough with the card.

“And yet you give your SS freely EVERY time you get a CREDIT CARD.“

Yes, national companies and banks, Executive. Not to a “....small and busy” staff “so it may take a few days to get set up.”

Not sure I would give a credit card out.
Been traveling for over 17 years with a DP and get cash back on my credit card. A lot of places out there that do not charge the extra 5 cents for credit.

I would not be comfortable with the Man using it to track my movements.

Yes it's legit, search it on any RV forum, been discussed ad nauseum.

And yet you give your SS freely EVERY time you get a CREDIT CARD. You're asking for credit for the TSD card, so it's the SAME thing. I'm another satisfied user and found they are very courteous and helpful. They EVEN answer their phones!....Dennis

They post updates daily with retail and TSD prices. I've saved a lot of $.

Be aware that this is a debit card with funds withdrawn in a day or two. DON'T lost the card even though it has a pin.
