Since then started the scanning recipts for point I have emailed and called about missing points and got no emails back and ******* to ******* missing points that they refused to issue to me

Patrick De Haan's own website says he is not about political agendas. He is also a self-proclaimed "myth buster" and "fact checker." I challenge you to email him personally like I did. He's a rude, condescending, flaming liberal, who runs an awful and inaccurate app.

I've been with Gasbuddy for 8 years and this new card is a disaster. The old card for plus members was like a debit card, it had a drivers code to input when you used the card and you could see your transaction and savings immediately on the App. With the new card, no drivers code, its a charge card with no security like a driver code. Also, the new cards transaction do not show up for days so you can see what the actual charge was with the discount. And, they do not tell you if it acts like a debit card or a charge card to pay your bill? And the savings they tout is only if you go inside the convenience stores and purchase $25 worth of merchandise, then you get 3 cents off per gallon? Sounds like they are promoting the convenience stores?
And the annual fee for a plus member went from $50 to $89 which is not justified on the savings the card gives you. Im not renewing my membership as Gasbuddy is no longer my "buddy!'

App told me gas price as of 2 hours ago was $2.86, it was actually $3.269. I changed the price in the app however it fod not change on my wife's phone app. Waste of time.

Took off articles relevant to the gas station business. Changed the web site to where it is almost unusable. Not nearly as many members posting updated prices since the change. Site was bought out by OPIS awhile back who makes money off supply contracts on the wholesale price of fuel. Conflict of interest may be the cause of the site being less useful to the consumer!

What a farce!
This weekend a gas company is offering 15 cents a litre off to Journey card holders. (Journey is a loyalty thing for ultramarine/pioneer).
I went to the station in Oak Ridges, price 20 minutes before I got there was 1.383 and was posted by user haseff. I arrived and price was 1.50 a litre. Didn't get gas! Wife posted the correct price for me.
Went to the station in Gormley, price had been posted by the same user but surprise it was 1.459 a litre.
Gassed up and posted correct price.
Came home and guess what, haseff has changed the Oak Ridges price back 22 minutes after I was there.
So to my simple mind either the gas company is screwing around or the station staff/management is screwing around.
Guess you can't trust gas buddy until they put something in there to keep the Haseff's of the world honest!

I have saved many times but I've lost up to.50 /gal. By incorrect prices that are advertised. Twice I went to discounts where the station was out of gas or under construction, wasting my trip. They get by with this by stating that all prices are reportedbyusers so not their fault. But they get discounts from the stations, why not prices? It is too frustrating to continue; I'll just use my local station discounts, thank you. I'm out! (The screenshot shows 3.19 price. Was advertised at 2.66.)

GasBuddy routinely charges me more than the advertised price after discounts. For example, I only save $0.03 per gallon even when the app says I will save $0.08. This is only 1% discount. I could have been saving at least 2% by using a rewards credit card this whole time. This seems like a scam. For example, today at Shell, the discounted price advertised was $2.77 after $0.03 gasbuddy and $0.05 fuel rewards. For 10.105 gallons the charge should have been $27.99, but I was charged $28.59, so only saved $0.30 over 10 gallons, $0.03 per gallon. There is no information stating that there is anything I did wrong, or anything else I needed to do, or could do, to receive the advertised price. This has happened many times. I have documentation. I think GasBuddy needs to be investigated for fraud.

Gasbuddy is not a useful tool during hurricanes or times of shortages. Although every news outlet seems to cite them as a useful tool (how much did they pay for that?!), there is no way for people to mark when a gas station does not have gas. The data on their website is unreliable and causes people to go to gas stations that have no gas.

There is no moderation of price posts and no discipline of the hucksters who consistently (and obviously maliciously) post incorrect prices. I have made brief detours because Gas Buddy reports a lower price on fuel at a station a couple of miles off my intended route, only to find the price significantly higher at the pump than reported on Gas Buddy. It's also happened numerous times at a station in my neighborhood. I'll post the correct price and within an hour or two, it's changed back to the incorrect (lower) price - and always by the same user who also posts incorrect (lower) prices for all the other grades of fuel on offer at the same time. This is an intentional scam, likely by the station owner or someone else connected with the business. Gas Buddy turns a deaf ear to complaints. This is something they could moderate and control but they choose not to. Because of this, I have no doubt they are equally dismissive of the privacy complaints raised by others. This app is a total scam. Avoid it.

Used to save money- now just full of fake prices, seldom accurate due to gamers trying to get app points and cheating gas station owners trying to attract unwary drivers. Waste of time.

Went to 4 stations on 7/11/24 based on prices reported to Gas Buddy. All of the actual prices were drastically higher than the prices reported via Gas Buddy. We'd driven far out of our way based on the GB reported prices. AND, when I submitted correct prices to Gas Buddy, they were never posted. I have relied on GB for best gas prices for years but won't be depending on GB anymore. Something fishy going on.

They get your bank info and after a month of excuses the send no card. Scam site stay away bad customer service

A few days after using GasBuddy, my credit card that I rarely use was compromised. Coincidence? I don't know, but the horrible reviews make me think GasBuddy is a shady operation.

Basically, this company is a business to steal your money, is a common practice. This is how they make their money.

Not sure who's posting prices here ( could be station's owners to lure customers?), but information, at least central NJ, 99% inaccurate.

I would estimate that at least 75% of people posting gas prices in Wichita have not been anywhere near a gas station that they posted a price for. What this means to the person using gasbuddy to find gas will more than likely go to a station that one of the gasbuddy liars has posted and find that the gas price at the station is totally wrong.

I have used the gas buddy app for a few years now and have saved multiple times. A very useful tool for saving $. Unfortunately not very impressed with the local Tim Horton locations being listed along with the gas stations, how is this relevant on a gasoline comparison app? Very disappointing, if I want coffee, I'll go to the coffee app.
