Definitely not Pilot/FJ

Here's a snapshot of the prices at Quartzsite today.

Loves is the lowest, with a 51 cent discount. Pilot is the highest, even after a 5 cent discount. Other stations are often listed, with no discount but mid range prices.

I like how the lowest price is shown in green on the map.

Here's a look closer to my home, with California highly-taxed prices.

Notice how Petro and TA also give good discounts. The card is also usable at other travel centers, Arci stations, and even some cardlock pumps, but with no discount.

In a pinch it would be good to be able to use cardlock pumps.

Once you swipe the card is all you need to do is add your pin?

That last post of mine was a question for anyone who has used the card. Is all you do after swiping/inserting the card punch in your pass code???
Thanks

Have not had a chance to use the card in the motorhome, but took one of the grain trucks by the local Loves since we're cutting a little bit of rice. It did ask for a PIN number. Worked very good. Saved 44 cents/gal. Dual purpose card. Win win for us.

I used the Love's in Binghamton NY last week and could not get the card to work at the pump.  Swiped inside and no problems.  Will be back there tomorrow for a second use of the card.

Sorry to miss you too!  We've never tried to hit Moab this early - usually in October.  100+ doesn't really sound nice for dry camping or hiking :-X .

Fueled today again at Love's in Binghamton, NY with no problems this time.  Did not require a PIN.

Remember to use the EFS app. Lowest prices are shown in green on the map, and they are frequently stations other than Loves. TA is also low most of the time.

Maybe no discount, but the card also gives us access to cardlock pumps. That can come in really handy.

I'm currently planning my route to and from GrandVention, and was concerned about fuel along the blue roads. One look at the EFS told me not to worry.

The program is great.  Have filled up 2x already with over $60 in savings.  Added the card to the Love's app and used it last night to pay via my phone.  Set it up on the Flying J app, but haven't used that one yet.

I'm having way too much fun midway between RV trips.

Two weeks to go before heading out for GV, and I've loaded rvtripwizard with my current fuel level, thanks to VmsPC, planned all my campgrounds on the way, and now planned my fuel stops.

Rvtripwizard tells me remaining fuel at each stop, and I've planned fuel stops based on that and fuel prices thanks to the efs app. Where prices are high, I'll add enough to arrive with half a tank where prices are low. Where prices are low, fill 'we up. On my way home, I'll get a fill up before crossing the Calif state line, and finally top it off at the last Love's before home.

My planned trip shows how many gallons I'll have upon arrival at each fuel stop and how many I will add.

This is really cool, integrating rvtripwizard with VmsPC and the efs fuel app.

Almost as much fun as getting out in the coach.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: We will add more as they develop.

-Where does your card work?  Answer: All all major truck stops including but not limited to Loves, Pilot, Flying J, TA, Petro.
-Does the card work in Canada?  Answer:  Yes, however, our discounts are not a good in Canada as they are in the States.
-Do you have to have a US Bank account?  Answer: Yes.
-Can you tie the card to a credit card?  Answer:  No.  We can only ACH from a bank account.
-Why do you need my Social Security Number?  Answer: We do not do a credit check.  We ask for your social security number in the event that we cannot collect a payment, we need this number to file a claim.
-Does the card work for gas?  Answer:  Not likely.  You have to use the commercial carrier lanes at the stores and most stores do not offer gasoline in those lanes.
-Is there a set amount of discount per gallon?  Answer:  No.  Our discounts vary by chain and store.  The more gallons our company as a whole purchases at both the bigger the discounts.
-Can you purchase DEF with the card?  Answer:  Yes, however there may be little to no discount on the DEF portion of the purchase.
-What is the $200 cash advance on my card?  Answer:  You may get up to $200 per week (Mon-Sun) in the store as a cash advance.  If you fill up first you can go in and get it for free.  If not there is a fee usually $1.50.  If you want this removed just contact TSD.  This allows you while you are traveling not to have to pay ATM fees if you need cash.
-Is there a referral program?  Yes, if a new applicant puts you down when they apply you will receive a credit toward your Fuel of $25 after they purchase 100 gallons and another $25 credit after they purchase 500 gallons.
-How long from the time I receive my statement, is it drafted from my account?  Answer:  1-2 business days
-How do I know how much savings I received if it does not show at the pump?  Answer:  You have multiple ways to know how much per gallon you are paying.  You can receive an email each day with the price per gallon you will pay at each location.  You can download the EFS Card Control App which will send you a receipt after you fuel with the correct amount.  You will also receive a statement the next business day after you fuel that will show your gallons purchased, the discount, our fee and the amount that will be drafted from your account
-What is the daily gallon limit on cards?  Answer: 950 gallons per day
-Who can apply?  Answer:  Anyone who purchases diesel-Truck, RVs, buses.
