Gas Buddy card is a credit card so more times than not your discount will be on the CREDIT price the station has set which in my area is. 10 cents more than the cash price which is what the gas buddy app shows. Not knocking g Gas Buddy... it's in ther FAQs and T&Cs. Your "savings" is at the mercy of the station you use and their prices. Gas Buddy needs to give the option to list the Credit prices as well not what random updaters post as they drive by which is ALWAYS the Cash/Debit price.

Cheaters
July 8, 2015

When I installed this app I never really used it but since I ride around the city a lot with my husband and to Arkansas a lot I thought this would be a great way to post prices and have fun in winning free gas. So as I began to post prices I was ranked very low so I saw how good I was at posting prices and how quickly I rose up to the top ten, then the top 5 then I beat the #3 person who had been in that spot since last year. So I never had a problem posting prices and receiving points. After I beat #2 I started to notice that when I post prices at the end of the day the next day half of them would be gone. At first I didn't think of it so I continued to post prices now being number #3, #2 only had a 300 difference in my prices so I worked harder riding around the city posting more prices. I had just returned from Arkansas for the holiday and posted over 200 prices, the next day my prices had been taken, to almost half of what I reported while #2 prices kept going up, everyday the prices I post go down and his go up. Maybe this doesn't mean much to you, but if I am participating in an app posting honest prices I don't want my prices to be taken, nor be cheated as such as if I didn't report my prices. I have sent numerous of feed back messages to gasbuddy with no return call or email. I will continue to post negative comments because I think this is not fair. Give others a chance to win. I will not participate in an app that seems to be discriminating... yes discriminating... and yes I have my good reasons in saying this.

Very Convenient
May 28, 2018

I use my Pay with GasBuddy all the time. It has only been denied at one gas station one time. I get $0.05 per gallon as per the terms. I have never had any problems with it and would recommend.

Gas buddy promotes a program that is supposed to save a nicks a gallon. Only problem is the set the purchase limit so low that you cannot fill your tank.

Refuse to use this app. The new update is the worse ever. If I could rate it 0 I would. Admit this was not what the consumer likes and fix it. Otherwise without us there wouldn't be an app!

Made me so mad. Went out of my way to 2 gas stations they said gas is cheap. Prices were not even close and then when i tried to update it over and over. It would show like i did, but as soon as i closed the app and opened it again, it had the old prices which were low and inaccurate.
Now. I updated gas prices at 2 different gas stations, it updated one, but it would not update the other one.
They ask the public to participate, but really it is waste of time. It will show on your phone as if it did update but go on, close the app, open it again, and the old wrong prices are still there.

Made me so mad. That # prices were wrong, but then it would not even update. Now that i have read all the other reviews, and the fact that it used to be a good app but. A new owners have taken over and are doing horrible job. I am taking this app off. Yes i will use Waze thank you. I will not update prices for GasBuddy which you do not even update, but leave the wrong low prices so someone else will waste their time just like i did today. And yes i have seen how scammy this company is now. Will not get their credit card and its too bad i gave them any of my information. No I will not get any kind of card from them. The end.

Double charges!
November 14, 2017

I used the gas buddy card a few times now and the other day I logged on to my bank account to find I was double charged. I called the number and was told to leave my email address. What a joke!

Absolute scam
February 15, 2023

Even when these crooks answer your emails and ask for an answer, they block the area that they designate for you to type an answer. Really worthless people.

Looking at Gas Guru as a better alternative. Ok if I want gas prices within a couple miles, but I want to look ahead 40-50 miles but can't easily anymore.

Filters don't work right!
February 15, 2017

In the new update, the list no longer shows stations as being top tier or not. Instead, there is a filter that supposedly allows you to filter out all except top tier gas stations. But when I choose this flter, NO STATIONS will show AT ALL! And I know there are top tier gas stations in any given area, my own area included, like Exxon, Shell, BP, Valero, Marathon, etc., but they disappear on the map and list when the filter is applied. What good is the filter option then? PLEASE fix this! Gas Buddy used to be a great app, but now it's next to useless. I know this is a worn out saying, but it certainly applies in this case: IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!

Not sure who's posting prices here ( could be station's owners to lure customers?), but information, at least central NJ, 99% inaccurate.

Gasbuddy card is a joke
December 4, 2017

So I find out that the card is usable for the credit price... not the cash price which is a dime cheaper. You get a nickel discount for paying a dime more. No thank you.
