To be precise, your savings are not all that great. Granted it is huge at LOVES or some of the other truck stops but they are far higher pump prices than an independent. For example I filled up at Circle K where I live for 2.64 and down the street is a Petro that advertises 3.25/gal. With the EFS discount it comes to 2.74.

Not knocking a discount but we're still paying market price for diesel.

True, when you are local and know where to go and know you will fit then the EFS card is not a big deal.  When I am back in CA I go to the local Costco and use my 5% fuel discount credit card and it is much cheaper than the EFS card. BUT, when I am out of my area the EFS card's convenience is a winner for just pulling off the highway and getting back on and not worrying about fitting in the fuel station.

And if you're towing 4 down knowing that you can fit without having to unhook and back out is priceless.

Ask for your efs number and loss it into the Love's app. You don't need a physical card.

I don't know what the others may do but after twice buying bad fuel from local stores and decided to only buy from volume truck stops. I am thankful for Rudy's help thanks Jim

I also enjoy not having to go inside to fuel up. I can get back on the road faster. I prefer truck stops for ease of access and fresh fuel. I'm willing to pay for this convenience. We saved $200 with the card on this trip, getting fuel where we always go anyway. It's a big win for us.

TCS might be good to have in addition to TSD.

FUEL DISCOUNTS – TCS Fuel Card users can save an average of $0.34 per gallon on diesel fuel at in-network locations (savings can range between $0.05 and $0.70 per gallon)

If this is true, there is no comparison. Maybe better after I join.

I like how the price locator works in the EFS app. Filled up at Maverik in Post Falls today near a higher-priced Love's using my 5% fuel discount credit card.

We just finished a quick trip to Utah and Colorado  and now have all my reeipts and charges from EFS. On $989.00 cost at pump compared to my billed cost which  including the service charge of $848.00, this gives me an overall saving if $141.00 or 14%. Not too shabby at all.
Seems to work fine for me as it makes the exchange between can $ and us $ now only 19% instead of 34%

Has anyone experienced a skimming or fraudulent/contested charge to your account via this fuel discount card? Does anyone know how the resolution process would work? My credit card company (Costco Citibank) seems pretty good at catching suspect charges and notifying us but I do not know how this company's security monitoring and notification process work.

I would say give them a call and find out... let us know what they say?

Hi, it took me about 10 days or more to get the callback and then another 10 days or more to get the card.
