If you’re only using your fuel rewards card to save at the pump, you’re missing half the value. Many gas station loyalty programs offer exclusive food and drink deals in addition to fuel discounts. By stacking both, you can turn every pit stop into a double win. Here’s how to combine fuel rewards and food savings at the same time.
Start with a Strong Rewards Program
Some of the most popular fuel rewards programs also include in-store offers. These programs are free to join and offer discounts, coupons, or points for snacks, beverages, and meals.
- Fuel Rewards® at Shell – Save on gas and earn rewards through dining, online shopping, and in-store promotions.
- Speedy Rewards (Speedway) – Earn points for fuel and food purchases, then redeem them for free items or fuel discounts.
- Casey’s Rewards – Get points for both gas and food. Use them for fuel discounts or redeem them for Casey’s pizza, drinks, or even donations.
- RaceTrac Rewards – Buy snacks, coffee, or hot food items and earn points toward coupons and fuel discounts.
Stack Food Promos with Fuel Savings
Many chains run in-store food promotions that also contribute to fuel savings. Examples include:
- Buy a coffee, get bonus fuel points
- Combo meals that include fuel discount coupons
- Digital app-only food offers tied to loyalty accounts
For instance, Casey’s often runs bundle deals (like 2 slices of pizza and a drink) that award extra points. Those points can then be used for either a future food discount or savings per gallon at the pump.
Use Rewards Apps to Track and Stack
- Sign up for brand-specific apps like Speedway, Casey’s, and RaceTrac to manage your points and check food deals.
- Always scan your rewards barcode before purchasing—many systems only reward points when tied to an account.
- Watch for limited-time bonus offers that multiply your rewards for select food or drink purchases.
The smartest gas station strategy combines your fuel savings with in-store food rewards. With just a few extra taps or scans, you’ll turn every snack run into a savings opportunity on both your next meal and your next tank.
