It was $4.99 before the discounts (should have been $4.79), so yeah $4.59

My guess is Jill’s is regular

The app applies them automatically. If you don’t use the app you can scan your giant card or type in your phone number.

There are several ways you can redeem Giant gas-points.....at the pump with your Bonus card, with an app on the cell-phone, or by entering your phone number. I tend to be old-school, and not use apps.....I do it at the pump, with the actual Bonus Card.

The app will save you an additional 3-10c a gallon on top of the giant points just by using it.

It won’t allow me to message you, but I was reading your comments from 2019 on a thread about how salesmen are wasted in car sales. And the ones who drive a pipeline could do so much better. I’ve start working at Lexus 8 months ago. I’ve already crossed 100k in less than a year. But oh my god, I am tired. I’ve been doing heavy research on other types of sales that can be at minimal, as rewarding. How can I get in touch to speak with you more? Thank you and hope to hear from you soon!

just trying to understand the process...

you go to the shell gas station...

do you start with using the app first, do everything in the app, or the app and the pump controls? i guess you don't put your credit card into the pump?

We don't have Giants here, but using Walmart+ at Exxon or Mobil stations for 10c/gallon discount (currently 20c/gallon promotion through Friday) works like this:

Open the Walmart+ app while at the station. Modal pops up at the bottom of the screen saying "it looks like you're at a Mobil station, would you like to buy gas?" Or something to that effect. Touch it, enter the pump number, wait 2-3 seconds, choose which credit card you want to use (or just accept your default), and start pumping. The price on the pump magically drops by the 10 or 20 cents. When you're done, the total shows up in the app and you get charged.

Yep, thats right. All the major gas companies have a similar app. It knows what station you're at, you tell it the pump number and you pay through Apple pay through the app and it authorizes the pump and it comes on. Don't have to put your CC in the pump.

I really liked in in NJ where I had to let them pump my gas but didnt have to surrender my credit card.

The options just keep rolling in for me, new Acadia is sized back up to the same size as the Traverse. Only negative is only turbo 4 power:

I think Traverse looks better this time around but GM is definitely on a roll.

I have no physical Kroger card or anything, but I use my now long gone Grandparents' old home phone number, always have and will until I die or the # won't work.

I wonder if I'm the only one who does something like that sometimes.
