Tackleberry Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 My brother (who is a trucker) turned me on to this free app. They must buy bulk fuel and offer users discounts. I saved .50 cents a gallon off posted pump price last fill up. You link your debit card to your account. The map shows you the prices in your area. You get a fuel code on your phone. Show the code to the cashier. Pump fuel (disregard what pump price says, you're paying less) Go back in to cashier and sign receipt. The app deducts fuel price from your debit card. I was shocked at the steep discounts posted. I can plan my fuel a lot better now for my trip to Key West next month. I'll try to fill up in GA. I see $4.50 a gallon there right now with app. Best "near" me right now is $4.83 in NJ. Local BJ's is $5.36, but those are not always on my route.

Ray,IN Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) "You link your debit card to the account"; therein lies the rub. Most here set-up a separate checking account strictly for that paying that account, then fund it accordingly. That eliminates any chance of a clerical error draining your main bank account and leaving you broke until the error is resolved. Many here have been using the TCS card or the TSD card for several years now. Edited November 22, 2022 by Ray,IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spindrift Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 MudFlap isn't too bad if you travel in the areas where they have coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have accounts with both TSD and Mudflap. About doubles my fuel buying options, but you want to check both for the best price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 Big tanks give flexibility too. Our local Costco beats any of the prices I can get within 50 miles of home using a TSD card, and we have almost 2,000 miles of range. Look ahead and often you can find decent prices without having to be tied to a service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Burkett Posted November 22, 2022 Report Share Posted November 22, 2022 My buddy uses Mud Flap and has it linked to a separate account, so it never gets to his main account. He runs Detroit to Tampa every week, and tells me how much he is saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfreda1 Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Just saw t/A in Slidell La. 3.97 discount price. Pump price was 5.09 tsd card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Pump prices are about $5.80 avg around here. Costco is $4.42. BUT, there's not a Costco at every corner, and they don't all have diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfreda1 Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 Paid 4.20 in Jackson ms. At a t/a a week ago. Going to top off there tomorrow before we drive to Illinois and back. Really appreciate the discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nawaa Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 TSD card shows $4.16 at TAs in Georgia, and $4.12 at some Speedways. There's even one TA on the west side of Georgia showing $3.95. I always check the TSD app versus GasBuddy. With the Sam's Club credit card you get 5% back on fuel, and with diesel at $5 that's a 25 cent credit. Involves math, but it's worth it! Wish there were more Costcos and Sam's Clubs with diesel, they have the best prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danfreda1 Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Just paid 3.95 at T/A in Jackson again yesterday after a 1700 mile trip. T/a in Slidell and Hammond LA. Are 3.71 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
