Which Truckstop has the Best Points Card?

Hello. First time poster here!
Just trying to figure out which truckstop has the best overall points program for drivers. As I see it, every chain (ie FJ, TA, Petro, Pilot and Loves) has one. I am just starting out (my own truck) and I don't know if one is better than the rest.
Thanks for your input.

Well as a company driver I fuel at either Holiday or Super America, depends upon wich way I go. One gives me points for gallons of fuel (Holiday), the other points for the money I spend.
I prefer the points for the dollar, cause they even give points out if you buy a cup of coffee, not just fuel.
Check around. Cause if you get 2 points for a 2 gallons of fuel or 2 points for 2 dollars, wich is better? Just my thought.

Cool Points don't matter. Merchandise does...

No matter how many points you may accumulate you're gonna' have to spend them in the TS store. If the store has nothing you want, or the restaurants are nothing special, then eleventeen thousand points are useless. Look around the stores and decide which one has the junk you like. That's the TS where you need to make points.

Oh! Where you like to shower is also where you'll be fueling. Keep that in mind, as well.

Get a card for all of them and fill up all that empty space in your wallet. I tend to use Pilot more than others, and have about 240.00 built up in points right now. I'm gonna save enough to just take over a truckstop when I retire.

Pick the truck stop you like best for the food,showers and other amenities. Then use their point card. As to which one is best you'll never get rich off the point card, they are just a very small added bonus.
