You say you are saving us money at the pump. Your NOT. Grand travel center in shawnee oklahoma not listed on gas buddy is a good five to seven cents less than any stations you list in the area. START LISTING THEM! Save others money.
I uninstalled your app. It won't let me change my preferences let alone my search information. It won't let me opt out of you taking and sharing all my personal information with the entire world. You want my banking information to give me a discount on gas? No way, that is just insane. It wants to know where my trip is to. None of your business. You want to sell all my info to other companies. No, not your place or your greedy business. Sad you can't just find gas prices on your area when that is what the app is supposed to do. Quite the scam for people's information you have going on there.
If ever there was an example of switch and bait, Gas Buddy is a great example. I have yet to pay what their app says (usually 5-10 cents higher) and the so-called deals of an extra 17 cents per gallon were only 2 cents per gallon. Such liars! They need to be honest or get buried.
Anyone with a persons drivers license and your bank account info could empty the account.
BIG SECURITY RISK. No Protection. They will not take a credit card or Paypal which offer the consumer protection from unauthorized transactions.
Prices seem to never be the same as what's posted on the app. Pumped 23 gallons at. 5 cents back per gallon and I got. 47 back. And the price At the station was. 32 more than what the app said. It would of been way cheaper if I had Gone to Sams club. App seems to be a waste of time and prices not accurate.
Made me so mad. Went out of my way to 2 gas stations they said gas is cheap. Prices were not even close and then when i tried to update it over and over. It would show like i did, but as soon as i closed the app and opened it again, it had the old prices which were low and inaccurate.
Now. I updated gas prices at 2 different gas stations, it updated one, but it would not update the other one.
They ask the public to participate, but really it is waste of time. It will show on your phone as if it did update but go on, close the app, open it again, and the old wrong prices are still there.
Made me so mad. That # prices were wrong, but then it would not even update. Now that i have read all the other reviews, and the fact that it used to be a good app but. A new owners have taken over and are doing horrible job. I am taking this app off. Yes i will use Waze thank you. I will not update prices for GasBuddy which you do not even update, but leave the wrong low prices so someone else will waste their time just like i did today. And yes i have seen how scammy this company is now. Will not get their credit card and its too bad i gave them any of my information. No I will not get any kind of card from them. The end.
THESE ARE INCORRECT PRICES ALL THE TIME FOR 10 CHEAPEST GAS! WASTE OF TIME, AND MISLEADING. POINTLESS. STAY AWAY!
Just tried using this app and the card stopped working while I was at a pump. It is not updated, even if it states it was 2 to 4 hrs ago, it will be more at the pump. Just stick to Waze app. I would not recommend gas buddy be used by anyone. A total incompetent app! You have been warned and I hope it helps someone use any other alternative. I enclose a photo of my receipt before it stopped working at any other pump or even gas station?
I used to love gas buddy but y'all can eat a bag of diks
You don't need access to my phukin location when I ask for price at a CERTAIN location
Assfuks get bent
When I scanned my Gas Buddy card at the pump, it over-road a discount of $. 10 a gallon, and it gave me a lower discount! I threw the card in the trash after that. You can get better discounts by using the gas station discount program that is available.
Be careful, what u see on app is not what u get. App shows one cash back what u get is less. I have tried to contact and it difficult to find a site for contact
Besides all other issues mentioned above, this company cancelled my card without notice. When asked, they told me that I have a duplicate account? Really?
Three months tried to get a new card. Just keep asking banking info to send small deposits for verification but never sent. Only sending stupid useless emails once in a month.
This is a gas app- not a mortgage loan. With identity theft going on& you guys won't answer phones etc. I can't imagine the hassle if my identity was stolen. Also, if I use a coupon at Starbucks or Dunkin donuts, they don't ask for my driver license. I guess I'll pay full price or occasionally take cta, but no gas buddy for me.
Since most people get around 2% discount just by using your regular credit card, GasBuddy is no longer an advantage. At today's prices, most people would get 6 cents savings per gallon with a credit card and only 5 cents with GasBuddy. GasBuddy takes credit for other loyalty savings, which you'll get anyway. So when they report 8 cents savings, it's only 5 cents from GasBuddy and 3 cents because of your loyalty card (Sheetz, Murphy's, Kroger's, Harris Teeter, etc.). Lastly, it's very annoying to report has prices and not get any meaningful credit for them in the app. That's probably why people aren't doing it much anymore.
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 have been with this program for months now and getting a couple of pennies is not worth it. I have spent example $45 and have a savings of. 21 saving on my fillup. I have never gotten more than a penny or two.
Wow... Where can I start... Another no-Service Company. Lost my card... April 2021. Tried to get a new one for three months and 8 days. The only way you can talk to someone is to go through a matrix of automated call prompts. There are 9 of them... after begging them to do business with them and getting no help, I finally chose the prompt to cancel card. Guess what. When you do that, they hook you up to a know nothing, work from home powerless person who reads from the same script and tells you what is wrong the same as the bots... but guess what again. It's not wrong. All the stuff they tell you you didn't do, you did. They don't listen to you they just keep reading from the script telling you you are wrong. Aggravation. Cancelled my card today, breathed a sigh of relief and made a vow to stop doing business with companies that don't provide service. Next after this, cancel my connections with walmart... No cashiers... another slap in the face.
Most of the winners started September 2016. That's right same month same year. I have saw that a few win on their first day with new. Made up accounts. It looks to me these are fishy. Look up winners the tap on their achievements tap on get it started. See for yourself. Fishy
Today we stopped by the Esso in Black Diamond Alberta.
Wow! You can certainly tell it's under New Management. The store is now bright and clean and oh my... you HAVE to try their chicken and fries... Look out KFC they have got you beat by a mile!
I would drive from Okotoks to grab that for dinner anyday!
The selections looked fresh and plentiful and the staff there were cheerful and very helpful.

Answer: Nobody I know has ever won. I have been a member over 9 years and I've never won. I entered 103,000 points, 103 tickets, all at once the day after St. Patrick's Day and I didn't win. So the short answer is someone must be winning these things, but you probably have better odds with a lottery scratcher. I also find it strange that often times the winners are brand new to the website with low point totals and often stop using the website after they win, kinda strange.
Answer: I see lots of people here reporting issues using GB, but my wife and I have had nothing but good luck using it all up and down the east cost. No false charges, not wrong prices, etc. we try and faithfully confirm or correct any prices off, but that rarely happens and is only a couple cents here and there when it does. Happy user here! YMMV
Answer: I just used it for the first time and I guess I didn't read enough of the fine print. I was expecting to see the price drop at the pump, but instead I needed up paying full retail price at the pump and I guess the savings is supposed to come off the back end when it hits my bank. Not sure, but I can tell you this, that was my first and last time using the card. I would rather see my savings immediately at the pump than have to wait to hopefully see them show up in my bank account. Ill just continue to use my loyalty cards. I hope this helps!
Answer: I cannot currently imagine as to why the rating is so low. My experience has been perfect in South Florida so far. GasBuddy is always accurate, works great on my android smartphone, links up well with turn by turn audible directions to the cheapest gas station. Therefore I rated this app 5 stars and I never do this unless it always makes my life easier to manage day to day.
