To use it, claim an offer in the app before you fill up, pay with a credit or debit card as usual and earn cash back after your purchase is verified. Most users pay 10¢ to 25¢ per gallon, though rates vary by station and location. Cash out anytime to your bank account, PayPal or a gift card.
Bonus: Earn Gas Savings at the Grocery Store
Grocery-store fuel rewards can lower your gas costs without changing where you fill up. Many programs let you earn fuel points on grocery purchases, then redeem them for cents-per-gallon savings at chain-owned fuel centers or partner stations.
Kroger and its family of stores, including Fred Meyer and Ralphs, let shoppers redeem points at Kroger Fuel Centers or participating Shell stations. Albertsons, Safeway and Vons shoppers can redeem at Chevron and Texaco locations. Walmart+ members save up to 10 cents per gallon at Walmart, Murphy USA, Exxon and Mobil stations.
The exact rules vary by chain, but 100 points often equals 10 cents off per gallon. Some programs cap savings at around $1 off per gallon or limit the number of gallons per fill-up. Check expiration dates before you wait too long to redeem, since grocery fuel points often expire after a short window.
How to Choose a Gas Rewards Program
The right choice depends on where you drive, how often you fill up and whether you want fuel savings, flexible points or both. Before joining, here's what to do:
- Start with station availability: A higher discount is less useful if the nearest participating station is out of your way. If you commute, take frequent road trips or want to travel for cheap, choose a program with locations along the routes you already use.
- Compare fuel savings with flexible rewards: Some programs focus on cents-per-gallon discounts, while others let you redeem points for snacks, drinks or store purchases. Pick the reward type you are most likely to use.
- Use more than one option: You do not have to choose only one program. You might use one near home, another when you rent a car and an app-based option when you are comparing prices on the road.
- Stack savings with AAA when possible: Many drivers get the most value by layering offers. For example, a AAA Member may be able to use Shell’s 5-cent-per-gallon Gold Status discount, pay with a cash-back card and check an app like Upside for extra savings on the same fill-up.
Compare prices before you fill up: Even with rewards, the station with the lowest base price often wins. Tools like AAA Fuel Prices show current local and national prices updated daily, so you can compare nearby stations before deciding where to stop.
How Do Gas Rewards Programs Work?
Most gas rewards programs are free to join through a website or mobile app. After signing up, you usually apply your rewards by scanning an app, entering your phone number at the pump or using a linked payment card.
Depending on the program, you may earn points, automatic cents-per-gallon discounts, cash back or in-store rewards. Some programs also have tiers, which means you may earn better savings after a certain number of fill-ups or purchases.
When it is time to redeem, the pump or app may ask whether you want to use your available rewards. Before saving points for the future, check the expiration rules, gallon limits and participating locations so you know when and where your discount applies.
These programs can be one part of a bigger savings strategy. You can also save money on travel by comparing fuel prices, planning efficient routes and checking for member discounts before you leave.
FAQs
What is the best gas rewards program?
The best gas rewards program depends on where you drive most often.

What’s the best way to save money on gas?
The best way to save money on gas is to combine strategies: join rewards programs you will actually use, compare prices before filling up, keep your vehicle properly maintained and look for member discounts when available. AAA Members can also check for current fuel offers and stack savings at participating stations.
What is the best day of the week to fill up your gas tank?
Sunday is often a good day to fill up, according to 2026 analysis of weekly gas price patterns. Prices can vary by market, so it is still smart to compare nearby stations before you stop.
