Fuel Your Savings: How AMAZON Prime Members Can Drive Down Gas Prices

Faced with the bumping up cost of everything and the uncertainty of the current economic times, we need to take every opportunity to save some hard-earned money. As the cost of gasoline continues to rise and gouge deeply into our wallets every time we fill up, AMAZON has shown up as a superhero for US motorists by enrolling in an innovative partnership with Earnify. Now, AMAZON prime members take advantage of some serious fuel discounts at the pump. But how exactly does this work and how can you get in on the savings? Let’s take a closer look and uncover some tips on how to fuel up.

Discover the Perks of AMAZON Prime Beyond Fast Shipping

The New Way to Save at the Gas Station

While it has long been known for free fast shipping, AMAZON Prime is actually a deeply layered membership with countless shopping benefits – and one that’s constantly growing (it’s like Costco membership, but on steroids). As of 23 October, there’s now yet another reason to be a Prime member – or reason to join: Prime has launched Prime Rewards Visa card, which lets members save 10 cents per gallon at participating gas stations (Amoco, AM/PM, BP, and more). That’s more than your smartphone unlocks. In their never-ending quest for more and more members, AMAZON is making Prime a truly multidimensional membership club that elevates it well beyond mere online shopping.

How to Activate Your Fuel Savings

To use the discount, Prime members must tie their AMAZON account to Earnify, which is free and relatively painless. The activation process starts at amazon.com/fuelsavings (the landing page is key, since the deal is not available without it). After you set it up, the app is easy to use: its store locator helps you find the nearby participating gas station, and you can pay for gas at the pump using any phone number you have in your Earnify account or any payment method you tie to it, or even by using the app.

Navigating the World of Fuel Discounts

AMAZON vs. Walmart+: A Fuel Savings Showdown

AMAZON is hardly the first company to get into the market offering fuel discounts to shoppers. Walmart+, in response to member feedback, increased its fuel savings benefit to 10 cents per gallon in 2022, available at more than 2,000 Walmart, Murphy USA and Murphy Express fuel centres of operation. The fuel competition between AMAZON and Walmart will become even more heated as a result.

Other Players in the Fuel Discount Game

AMAZON Prime and Walmart+ aren’t the only ones in the game. Dozens of other loyalty programmes – from Speedway’s Speedy Rewards to 7-Eleven’s 7REWARDS and Circle K’s Inner Circle Rewards to ExxonMobil’s Rewards+ and Shell’s Fuel Rewards – all arguably allow members to save a few cents a gallon. This hodgepodge of loyalty schemes shows that retailers and service stations around the country are vying to attract repeat business.

Why This Matters

Beyond Convenience: The Impact of Fuel Savings

In a broader sense, such an initiative on AMAZON’s part signifies the involvement of the digital and retail giants in providing real, tangible, everyday benefits to consumers at volume, as evidenced by this latest step from the company’s powerful Prime service. For the company’s Prime consumers, it’s an extension of the benefits already available to them, and it represents value for their subscription fee in a category of spending that almost all households have.

The Power of Loyalty Programs

With the sheer quantity of rewards and savings schemes flooding the market, the discerning customer needs to pay attention. AMAZON Prime’s introduction of fuel savings reminds us not just that loyalty programmes are a key part of today’s retail shopping experience, but that consumer expectations are changing.

Conclusion: A Tank Half Full

The rollout of fuel savings for AMAZON Prime customers isn’t just a new flashy new perk – it’s also a signal of the changing relationship between retailers and consumers in the days to come. With inflation at increasing highs, any solutions that alleviate consumers’ everyday worries, such as the high cost of petrol, are now coveted, and it’s one of the many reasons why AMAZON Prime members already have another reason to stick around. Once again, more proof that membership has its privileges when it comes to the world of AMAZON.
