Thanks everyone. I asked today when I was at a loves and loves is the same as far as 1 point = 1 penny and they give showers BUT if u bring in ur own cup (up to 44oz) you can fill it with free coffee! Their coffee is garbage but can't beat free!
pilot points and their "cash value"?

Oldironfan Thanks this.

I hate Love's, however, their loyalty program is the best I have found. 1 point per gallon to start. once you go above 500 gallons you make gold member, that is double points all of the next month. 1000 gals, then triple points, 1500 gals, 4 times the points. if you are at diamond (4 times the points) it's unlimited showers and refills that month
-
Say 20 showers a month while you look at bungee cords again with your bag over your shoulder.
I agree, their point system rocks, but I can't spend 40 hrs a month waiting on a shower and 30 minutes every fuel up cuz Loves is always jacked.
My time has value too.Lab work Thanks this. -
Rusty Trawler Thanks this.

Shower in the middle of the night
Works well for meOldironfan, RedRover and Rusty Trawler Thank this. -
I found pilot flying j to be best. I get 5x points. Plus once hit 1000 gallons a month you get free shower the following month. Never have less than 10 shower credits. I put in at least 120 gallons a day so points and all at up fast.
Only plus to take petroleum is you get a point for each gallon of def. And showers always have 2 towels without hunting down cart or someone to give extra towel.
Loves well they are there. Hate the setups of them. Not worth with little points. Showers are hit or miss. I will say the newer Loves are a lot better but old ones still make rest seem bad.
Ps. If always do pilot flying j or loves surveysyou get extra 100 points. Not much but adds up -
The points have no " cash" value I'm a old timer with considerable points saved up I was going to try to donate them to charity and use it as a deduction when I asked about it my call was returned the next day and the told me.
If it had a value every one would be trying to get them to give cash out it would be a pain in the butt for them.
I would like to see them have a gold card or something when you hit a certain point level be you would get free coffee or what not if it did have cash value and Drew interest I know I could not drink that much. D.K. -
None of these card points will ever have a cash value. It would be an accounting nightmare. It would have to be recorded in their books and to SEC, if it's a chain that's publicly traded as a liability. Since some states a company cannot depreciate that, if the points are never used it's a liability that the company has to track until they go out of business. Just too much hassle.

I was up to Diamond status at Love's at one point while at ASL. Things didn't work out there and now I'm at a company that only fuels at PFJ (+ Kwik Trip while in WI/MN) and it's back to one point a gallon.
I agree it's time for Pilot to introduce a tiered rewards program.
