    So I want to buy a cb with my points and I've looked everywhere trying to find the answer to the question I'm about to ask: what is the cash amount that the points convert to? 1000 pilot points = how many dollars worth of "credit" towards something?

    Each point is worth a penny, so 1000 points = $10.00.

    They've been giving a penny a gallon for 20 years. It's time for a raise! You could buy a lot more back then with your points.

    During the month of September, it is double points at Pilot Flying J. 2 cents per gallon. Does that help?

    Not really I have like 9000 points Do these points carry over to the new year .?
    Iv seen where certain locations provide double points but not all at the same time .. The loves program is elusive to me what is that all about .
    When you think about the delays at some of these fuel stops the points just dont add up almost seemingly a
    Dealbreaker..

    Prefer the Pilot/Flying J system over the others . You can check your point balance and get a shower ticket at a kiosk and just swipe your card for a purchaes .
    Love's has no kiosk . Petro/ T/A have kiosks but you have to get certificates from the kiosk to make purchases . They won't give change . If you get a $5. Certificate you must spend over $5 . You can get points on your T/A card when you buy tires or have service done at their shop .

    I like the Pilot/Flying J points system. It's a lot easier and you can pay in the exact denomination. Plus the showers last a week, helps when you go home and come back you still have showers. Pilot has always been pretty good since they came up with the cards.

    In addition to this months double points, they do have a program where they will give you an extra $10 worth of pointsif you meet their monthly quota of gallons. It starts of with a 500 gallon minimum, but if you make that, it will go up another 100 gallons per month.
