Am I missing something? This doesn't sound like such a great program. If I understand correctly for every $100 you spend you could save a total of $1 at the pump assuming you put 20 gallons in your car. That is only 1% back! If there isn't a gas station right on your route, you will use that $1 just in extra gas!

Exactly. Fuel rewards don't impress me. A little math and logic and you're left wondering if they think you're stupid or something.

I got a fuel reward the other day and even though it said .05/gallon, it gave me .10/gallon. So I did save 1.91 on that day, which was nice.

It worked out for me, only because the LF gas station happened to be right there, and the price per gallon was the lowest in the area, but this 1% reward won't even begin to touch my shopping habits.

I guess they count on the mindset of people who are concerned about the price of gas and don't think rationally about what .05/gallon really amounts to. (hint: hill of beans)

I think this program works the same as Krogers, the $100 is before coupons. They give you a little slip every time you check out. I earned $0.10 for September and I definately did not spend $200 OOP at LF, probably not even $100. My Dh used it bec he was right there, needed gas and the price was lower than the other station on the block.

I saved $0.10 at the Shell station who partners with Kroger this morning. Again I definately did not spend $100 OOP to earn it.

I agree its definately not an incentive for me to spend more. If Im buying the groceries anyway and the gas station is conveniently located (in our case both Kroger/Shell and LF are), I'll take it!

I concur. DH used the gas rewards I got after shopping this past week (crabmeat, ice cream & produce). The gas is cheaper there right now than the gas stations and it's near DS's school. Once we move it will be 2 minutes from the house so we will be buying all the gas there probably.

Someone mentioned somewhere that the fuel rewards are earned on your pre-coupon dollars, but that's not the way it's working out for me
I'm getting rewards on oop, which means I get a measly 10-15 points per week.
Is this the way it is for others?

Something weird is going on for sure. I had 5 cents off a gallon and then it just disappeared? I only had to spend a little more to get 10 cents off a gallon. Very disappointing.
