I typically have several hundred dollars worth by the end of the year. I've gotten a drive cam, the big red copper cook set, and typically spend the rest on Christmas presents and giant candy bars for the kids and the females of the species.

I can’t stand TA due to their UltraOne program. Loves allows you to do anything and everything through the app. I fueled at the TA in Barstow a few weeks ago so I could get a shower. It wouldn’t take my ultra one card or my phone number despite it working a few months back. The store manager did grant me a shower pass but I’m not even going to fool with the card again.
I never have issues at 80% of Loves and their rewards program is to easy to not take advantage of. The other 20% are the old stores with limited parking and generally just a PIA to get in and out of. -
The new TA rewards program is less generous than the old one of a couple years ago. They got stingier with their showers, making them expire sooner. I used to always have several showers available but with the new program there was a couple times when I had zero. Net result, I fuel there less often. I used to factor the price of a shower when comparing fuel prices, but now I no longer do, so TA wins less often. Probably the exact opposite of their intended effect, but a corporation can't see stuff like that because it doesn't show up as a line item on their financial statements. But some of that food they cook up in those cafeteria counters sure does look tempting though. That's where most of my TA points go.

Never cared for TA/Petro. Facilities are dirty and out of date, parking lots are full of pot holes, and the employees are usually some crusty old tweaker not interested in helping you.

No use being upset man. Chalk it to the game. You'll fuel enough to get those points in a couple of years. Just dont give up.
