Frequently Asked Questions
About SmartRewards
-
SmartRewards is the name of the base loyalty program as well as the app itself, where all users can earn points, redeem rewards and access special offers.
-
Under SmartRewards there is a member component called SmartPay RewardsSM. Any customer that links their banking information (ACH) is a SmartPay RewardsSM Member (“SmartPay Member”). You then receive a 10 cents off/gallon discount whenever you pay with your checking account (ACH) as your method of payment in the app or with a SmartPay card. Customers who pay with another payment method (e.g., credit/debit cards) receive no everyday fuel discount.
-
We listened to customer feedback and are excited to offer our customers more convenience and choice with SmartRewards. Our rewards program is designed to reward you at both the pump and the store!
-
We hope you will find the new program to be more flexible and easier to understand and use. Our old program just provided a free coffee or fountain beverage after 80 gallons of fuel purchased. Going forward, SmartRewards customers will earn 1 point for every gallon of fuel purchased, and 1 point for every dollar spent on products inside the store (special exceptions apply). With SmartRewards, every 25 points turns into a $1 dollar reward, which can be applied to fuel or in-store purchases. Plus, you can take advantage of additional perks like welcome rewards, bonus points, and birthday surprises to help you save even more on your favorite products!
-
Earn points with qualifying in-store or fuel purchases any time you pay with the SmartRewards app. Additionally, on in-store purchases, you can scan your in-app Rewards # barcode before you pay at the register. In some of our stores, you can enter your phone number on the pin pad at the register to earn points as well.
-
No, your existing progress to the previous 80-gallon goal will be retired. If you are an app user with gallon progress who has made a purchase with SmartPay in the last 90 days, you will be eligible for a free beverage reward as part of the transition to SmartRewards. We will notify you via email and push notification when this reward is available to redeem in the “Your Offers” section of your SmartRewards app.
-
Our Frequency Clubs like Fountain/Frozen, Breakfast Sandwich, Pizza Slices, and 5hr Energy – have retired in favor of the new rewards program. If you are an app user with Clubs progress who has made a purchase with SmartPay between 3/19/24 and 6/16/24, you will be eligible for a free reward as part of the transition to SmartRewards. We will notify you via email and push notification when this reward is available to redeem in the “Your Offers” section of your SmartRewards app.
