GasBuddy

I have tried to use the gas buddy debit in 5 stations, 1 accepted it but did not give me the discount so I make that a 100% dissatisfied rate. Circle K no better just so you know.
Too bad because I have used the gas buddy app to find gas on trips and have been pretty satisfied with it. I guess charge cards aren't your forte.

I thought this would be great way to save money on gas purchases until they asked for my drivers license number. No company does that, Why would they possibly need my drivers license number and do they verify the number with the Mass Registry. I was in but now I am out and so should you.

I have an RV with an 80 gallon gas tank. After many requests GasBuddy raised my purchase limit. I let them know I was going on a trip. After my first fill-up the pit a hold on my card cause of the quantity of gas I purchased and the purchase not buying in my home town.

Their customer service folks never answer the phone so attempts to resolve the issue were a waste of time.

After the trip was over the released the hold. Clearly that was a bit too late.

I have asked to speak to a supervisor and of course I have NOT received a phone call.

I will be looking into other options to save a few pennies on each gallon of gas

If you review the reported winner's history, which is available by clicking on their name, you'll notice an unusual number of winners with little or no reporting history, especially those with the default name of "buddy" something. While the vast majority of winners appear to be legit, there's enough anomalies to be suspicious of the fairness of the site.

I live in Innisfil Ontario, and regularly go to Costco Barrie, where they have the best local price on premium. But something has gone wrong with the reporting on premium pricing. It is always posting a fictitious price which is much higher than their actual price. Who is fooling with this?

What started out as a great help has turned into a rocket science nightmare! By the time you get through all the ads and changes EVERY TIME YOU LOG ON you could run out of gas! It is now just an EPIC WASTE OF TIME!

I just recently signed up in hopes to save money at the pump but what I've gotten instead is nothing but headaches. First when I got my card it took forever to activate and when it finally got done and I tried using it at a gas station it said declined. When I tried calling customer service I was on hold for 15 minutes just to be told that there hours are 8-8 which was ridiculous and when I tried calling again the next day during business hours the hold time was the same just to be told that they were very busy to call back later or send an email. I'm all set I'm having my card canceled... so to anyone thinking of getting the card don't do it it's nothing but a headache not worth it

GasBuddy USED to be an awesome site--lots of current information about gas prices and other transportation topics. But then, about 3 years ago, the current owners bought it out and they COMPLETELY trashed the site. They shut down the communication between GasBuddy members. The membership can post daily news article. Originally, these articles had to be related to gas prices or other transportation-related topics. Now, they let ANY idiot post any political crap, or any other opinionated garbage. The current owners show absolutely no concern for the membership that does the work of posting current gas prices. All they are interested in now is selling advertising to convenience stores, and trying to con people into giving them access to their financial information in exchange for a very small discount on gas purchases ONLY IF you use their payment system. I still use it to check local gas prices, but, since prices these days are fairly stable, the lowest priced stations stay consistent.

Seems there is a outbreak of liars joining Gasbuddy. They mass report prices in a given area all within minutes of each other and they're wrong prices. They even go back later and change them again. There's no way of reporting tjem. The only fix I see is the stop using the app.

Every driver should bookmark this site. It's useful in two ways: (1) It will locate the cheapest local or en route gas sources, and (2) It will tell you what the gas used in a contemplated trip will cost. I use it primarily for (2), and in the process I also learn the number of miles of my trip.

In order to get accurate results, I need to submit an online form detailing what vehicle I drive and its year, and which grade of gas I buy (and of course my starting and ending points). Or I could enter my gas mileage if I know it.

A minor downside is that as of now GasBuddy will not retain information that I give it, so I theoretically could have to spend a fair amount of time refilling the form every time I want GAsBuddy's help for a new trip. In practice however your form filler or password manager (such as RoboForm) should save your data for you and remove that necessity.
