GasBuddy

Besides all other issues mentioned above, this company cancelled my card without notice. When asked, they told me that I have a duplicate account? Really?
Three months tried to get a new card. Just keep asking banking info to send small deposits for verification but never sent. Only sending stupid useless emails once in a month.

I've been using Gasbuddy very regularly for about 7 years (including prior versions of app), and consider myself a loyal fan. I post prices every day, and always use it to find prices when in need of a fill up. Unlike many comments, I've found the prices to be accurate the vast majority of the time. My problem is that while it shows that I've actually earned several million points & dozens of 'Challenge Awards' life-to-date, and I've entered the 'free gas' card drawing regularly over the years, I've never won the 'daily drawing.' Do they automatically block certain names for some reason? Or do they even draw names daily as they advertise? After 7 years, I wonder...

The *******686 customer support number on the back of the card is never answered. I found two fraudulent charges that happened 500 miles from where I live on my card. I was never able to get a live person and I called continuously from the moment they allegedly opened until... I have left a voice mail and am supposed to receive an email response to my situation. In this day of technology what other reputable company handles customer service issues this way? Right, none. I suggest you use a credit card that offers gas discounts or points. Pay it off at the end of the month and you will be far better off than this inept company.

Used to LOVE the Gasbuddy app but the new app(2017) is annoying. Here's why:

1. First the nee version is way slower than the current app(2017).

2. Too many clicks needed to get to nearby gas prices and / or to enter gas prices.

3. Slow loading and slow bringing up new screens.

4. Small non-corp Non-name-brand gas stations seem to have disappeared from Gasbuddy and I haven't figured out how to add then back.

5. Slow and awkward to edit a station with the app, such as to add a new gas type, like Diesel. Can be done but was easier before with the old app.

My primary reason for downloading and using GasBuddy was due to the recommendation of a colleague. It is only *OK* because by the time it pops up an alert! Gas prices going up in xxxx! It is too late. The prices have already gone up. My colleague indicated it warned prices were "about" to go up... not that "Boy did you miss it! You should have purchased gas this morning... or last night!" Therefore, it might be useful for FINDING gas prices, but, not for finding out when they are going up.

Yesterday I wrote a review criticizing Gas Buddy for making their new DEAL program more difficult to locate gas prices. This morning I received an update to the app and it is now showing all gas stations and their current lower price offer. This could actually work out after all. You just tap on the offer and get there within 4 hours for your gas mark down. As an example. It will show XX gas station, the price on the marquis and then a slash through it with the now discounted price. This may work out after all.

I used to be a huge fan of Gas Buddy but lately the discounts have dwindled down to a few cents per gallon and many of the prices you see in you search are not the price at the pumps. That defeats the purpose of the entire app.

I have used the gas buddy app for a few years now and have saved multiple times. A very useful tool for saving $. Unfortunately not very impressed with the local Tim Horton locations being listed along with the gas stations, how is this relevant on a gasoline comparison app? Very disappointing, if I want coffee, I'll go to the coffee app.

A few days after using GasBuddy, my credit card that I rarely use was compromised. Coincidence? I don't know, but the horrible reviews make me think GasBuddy is a shady operation.

I use the app almost every time I need gas. I search Current Location—or anywhere else. Sometimes I'll check a location I plan to visit in case gas is cheaper there.

Today, just now, I paid 20¢/gallon less because I searched my current location and found Power Plus Automotive in Belmont, MA was that much less than my go-to, Watertown Gas. The stations are ~equidistant but I would have driven a little further to save the $2.80.

At least as of this writing, I have only encountered one incorrect price—the price I paid was less. (This actually happened today.)

I didn't know I could Favorite stations until I read someone else's review. (Heart upper right corner but sometimes the heart doesn't seem to appear.)

Based on reviews, I'll skip the GasBuddy card, at least until more issues are resolved. It doesn't seem consistent, often defaults to "credit" price, and issues with double billing or inability to use the card.

I question how stupid some of the reviewers here are. "Rejecting my info"? 10 cents off then 5 cents? Can people read? These are the same idiots that didn't read their mortgage agreements in the run up to the recession and caused the housing crisis. There's a lot of stupid people. I read the terms, agreed, and have been getting the discount now just fine. I've never had any issues. Their support the one time I used it could be improved absolutely agree there. But the card works, read the fine print before complaining and you won't have problems.

Unfortunately, Gas Buddy is good for nothing more than finding the nearest gas station because prices are either out of date or faked by the station owners and managers. Great concept but total fail as there are no checks or balances to prevent fake news.
