Pilot for fuel
Ta for shop
Pilot for more convience -
Any that have double or triple point months - TA used to do this.
TA is PETRO, and Pilot is flying hook now, as I understand.luvtotruck Thanks this. -
Spend $3.90 on a gallon, get 1 lousy point. They're so generous.
-
Love's is working to boost the point accumulation rate for regular fuelers with their new[er] program. TA/Petro is Ok but as a rule the fuel is typically more expensive and they have far fewer location options to utilize shower credits later down the road.
If you like to eat in their restaurants (Country Pride and Iron Skillet) [and I don't] then TA/Petro may be worth devoting your trading to. -
ta/petro is only higher on fuel unless you aren't with a carrier who gets discounts,, they have far and away the highest discounts.
-
I buy most of my fuel at Pilot/FJ or Loves. Loves has that great point multiplication that happens after you buy enough gallons. It's a lot harder to get showers at Loves so I prefer PFJ for the convenience. TA/P has some convenient locations that I hit once in a while but the best fuel rebates for me come from PFJ and Loves which drives me in their direction for the most part.
-
At pilot you can follow a fuel solution and fuel up then drive 250 miles or what ever, park and take a shower at another pilot since there are more Pilots than TAs. TA has double points from time to time and that is when I made sure to use TA.
-
My company fuels at pilot so that's the only card I have. I usually pony up the extra money for a shower when I need one.
-
Pilot/FJ & Loves are easier to use.
T/A-Petro makes you print out a voucher for $5, 10 15 20 and so on..and if you don't use all of it you don't get it bck.25(2)+2 Thanks this.
