    I thought it was only a little inconvenience or maybe you're right.
    What if you are?

    Hmm..................would my going there make me ### kisser too?

    Shut! I am not going ... just in case.
    Even though, I bought 13 000 gallons of fuel this year. Hell with that $5K per year of fuel savings for me! I am not ### kisser either!!!!

    I used to do that, fuel twice. Put enough fuel in to get a shower, shut off pump, then start pump and finish my fill up. When asked at the fuel desk why, I just said I accidentally shut the pump of so I had to re-start it.
    But I could do that with my fuel card. Some companies restrict their cards to one fuel transaction every day, or have a minimum number of hours between transactions.

    I fuel twice almost always. Nobody asked me. One time I asked support to put my second earned shower to my member account and they didn't ask me anything - I tell them that I fuel twice to earn extra shower credit. If their system allowed it - it's allowed.
    You can't earn 3 shower - 2 only. And it's very simple to turn it off in their system...

    So you’re telling me you tried 3 showers, and it didn’t work!? Interesting. I feel more confident now. I may end up trying it someday. I hope I can conquer the feeling of guilt, though. Hahaha.

    I'll revisit NASTC again this upcoming week. I checked into them a cpl of years ago and it just felt like I was being treated to a high pressure time share deal. Trying to sell me everything else I don't need.

    She kept insisting I had to attend their "seminar" in TN. I kept trying to explain to her that I don't run out that way, I stay on the west coast, but it didn't seem to matter.

    Perhaps things have changed now?

    I’m trying to decide which fuel card to choose: TCS or NASTC. I heard that with nastc you HAVE TO use their card for majority of your fuel. And this is can be dealbreaker for me as I hate obligations of any kind.
