Way to many times I find the posted price for diesel is $3.49.9, I got to the station and the pump reads $3.79.9, this happens way to many times, I believe that the station posts those lower fuel prices just to get you into the station. Once there and you are now low on fuel you are forced into buying from them. This is not right and makes me want to stop wsing the app.

I used this application to find low prices in different gass stations but the price was not right when I was in the direction which it was taking me! I won't suggest anyone to download and use this application

GasBuddy Fail
January 31, 2018

It used to be great. I used it locally and while traveling. (The app)
However, a few months back they changed it, no they ruined it.
It used to be they would give most station prices in your area. Or you could zoom out to check the close station that had the best prices.
NOW, you get the stations within about 2.5 miles from where you are, AND NOTHING MORE.
You cant make it give more. It is now useless.
I had to stop using it as I live in a hole where the prices are the highest for miles in all directions.
I removed it. On 1/31/18 I reinstalled it to test and it is still broken and I removed it again.
Zero stars if I could.

Anyone with a persons drivers license and your bank account info could empty the account.
BIG SECURITY RISK. No Protection. They will not take a credit card or Paypal which offer the consumer protection from unauthorized transactions.

GB use to be fun. Now its members just go to get points to try to win gas. Half the prices are never correct and the members dont actually drive by the stations, they just repost old prices. Their app tracks you if you dont force it not to and force it to stop.

***CONSUMER BEWARE*** FRAUD! It is not true that your personal information is totally safe with GasBuddy. My GasBuddy account was compromised/hacked, and today I found over 20 fraudulent charges after they overdrew my account. In attempting to file a dispute with GasBuddy, the representative "could not find me in the system" through my name, phone number, or social. I've had an account with them for years and they are attached to my bank account...which they pull money from when I use their gas card, yet they somehow cannot find my account in their system?!?! We were 'somehow' disconnected, and they did not call me back. The thieves siphoned over $1,500 from my connected checking account. I will try GasBuddy one more time tomorrow and give them the opportunity to make this right. If they do not, I will pursue legal action & fraud charges through the FTC. I have already filed action with my bank. CONSUMER BEWARE.

GASBUDDY Pay at the pump
October 20, 2017

My Driver ID worked one time. Now it does not work and my password does not work either. When I try to change it I get an error message and it will not redirect or send me the link to change it. BIG JOKE!

SCAM! FRAUD,
February 14, 2018

Scam, before i even recieved card had $234 in ACH charges. Chase bank tracked charges back to Gas Buddy. Chase bank filed a complaint with the AG in Massachusetts. Could not get hold of Gas Buddy customer services. Tried and left voice mails for 6 weeks with no responce. Chase Bank refunded the funds and i had to close account and open new account because we were unable to get call back from Gas Buddy and they still had bank account on file and attempts were made to withdrawal funds after Chase put stop payments on all transactions from GasBuddy. Again, transactions were attempted before i even received card and i have never activated card.

Everthing was fine before I gave that card number to gasbuddy and that makes me wonder how Secure their app or sight is? Real sus!

I accidentally signed up for the 9.99 plan and kept it a few months before attempting to cancel. My android app would not allow me to cancel. The customer sevice number rings hangs up on you.
I "chatted" with a person who did not end up canceling my membership altho they knew exactly what I was talking about... that an android phone app does not allow you to cancel. Days later it was the first of the month & they charged me again! I had to get my bank involved to deny future charges. They fraudulently got another 9.99 from me and I never remember signing up for the 9.99 premium plan in the first place.
The gas savings is a joke even in a premium plan. 21 cents off $54.
GusBuddy should be sued.

I took the app off my phone
May 26, 2021

I drive 40 ft Diesel Pusher RV so I'll drop two to three hundred at a fill-up. Good prices on diesel for one are much harder to come by with GasBuddy because it's a bunch of gas driving dummies. But much worse than that I found many false reports of cheap prices and then I would drive there and find it was 10:20 30 cents higher as if somebody wanted to drive business to that station huh I wonder who that somebody could be it started out as a good app and was pretty much legit then when they got slightly popular the begun to take away good functions and replace them with stupid stupid ones it's a piece of $#*! it had so much potential I was hoping someone else would come up with a good app I just did a big road trip and I think I found one there are other apps way way better than GasBuddy

Great App In Progress
January 12, 2019

When I' m driving (one -way) i dont want my tanks to full of fuel at my destination (round trip- yes), i could save more money on fuel if could put the desired number of gallons i want in my tanks at my destination while letting the app find the cheapest fuel prices along my route.The app isnt made for tractor tràilers (trouble waiting to happen), for them it should allow truckers to rate and choose which truck stops will accomadate big rigs.

Gasbuddy has an app for reporting gas prices. You have to have gps on and report on the app in order to get credit. The credit is worth nothing at all, except to the cheaters. The cheaters post on the web with no gps required. They normally wait 2 to 3 hours after someone posts prices and then they repost them. The person using the app has to put gas in their car to report prices while the cheaters sit at home copying the prices which are often outofdate by the time they repost them. This also costs the couch potato nothing. This promotes a hatred between the couch potato posters and the ones using the app.

Find the cheapest gas in your neighborhood - Just type in your Zip Code and the site outputs the cheapest gas stations near you. They update the prices multiple times a day, so the prices are pretty accurate. There seem to be a bunch of sites that do this now, but other ones like www.gaspricewatch.com and www.gasnearu.com don't seem to be as good -- fewer stations listed and the prices seem to be updated less often.

At one time it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The app on my phone stopped working about 10 months ago and despite numerous attempts to get help from customer service it is no use. I now only get solicitation email but no good use from the app any more. Too bad. It was once a very useful app not any more. Researching this on the WWW I find that I am one of many people with this problem. Hit my GasBudy Icon ad all it will do is search for the server non stop. Had it try for almost an hour once. I have just removed the app from my phone, never to use it again. Also canceled my subscription to the updates on the website. USELESS. As can be seen on the picture, that is as far as it ever gets.

Safeway fees
May 26, 2018

Safeway treats this card like a credit card. I got charged 10 cents more so my savings for the first time usage was 5 cents. If i use my debit card there is no upcharge. Your card should be treated the same as a debit card because the charge goes directly to my ckg acct, I do not think Safeway is paying a fee for this card as they do other credit cards.

I used it 6x so far. Put 1$ in cashapp account and wait a week for it to verify account and you can get 100$ of gas out of it each time. Technically it's wrong to do, but for those of us who can't afford inflation rise gotta do what you gotta do to get to work and bust our $#*! to have to take everything we can get when we can
