    Pilot is no better. I just fuel at Love's and occasionally use the free stuff. I park at casinos or if I have to park at a TS it's a Petro or an occasional TA. I won't park at ANY Pilot

    Lots of Pilots & Js never got rid of the chili, still sell it and chicken a la king with biscuits at some of them. I don't buy that stuff but it always smells good.

    Fuel 800 gallons in a month and you get Chrome Status, which means you get $10 bonus each month plus double points for fuel, so 1 Gallon = 2 cents off in store.

    They're also a coffee club, every 10th coffee is free.

    Their affiliate restaurants also have restaurant rewards, some don't accept the pilot card and I have no idea how they reward those, but it's a few cents toward lunch.

    Our company only fuels at Pilot and Flying J so my conscience is clear. If the company buying the fuel wasn't bac enough about those fuel discounts, no sense in ME passing up free beverages.

    Tell that to when I go look and its nasty clam chowder bacon hoo haw or vegetable soup.

    It was really nice when they did it 24 hours you go in and you knew what was going to be there. No rotating for seasons no stupid breakfast food.
    No stupid nasty free biscuit.

    If you can track down a challenge magazine in the back they had all the pilots addresses coming soon pilots and what food was there. Shower numbers parking spot numbers the food place and whether or not it accepted rewards via the red box outline. Free fax coupon was the best part or a free drink. (Those were rare coupons)

    No McDonalds participates.

    You get a freebie once in awhile for buying something at a participating vendor, Arby's, Wendys, Taco Bell and some others, and like the prior poster said, never a McDonalds, or even Denny's. Huddle House is no longer corporate, either.

    I eat at those places infrequently, so I have no idea how often you get a free meal or item. Showers may have switched to being earned for the following month, seems that is what they have done with mine.

    They have other ways of earning extra points, but food doesn't seem to.Someone could explain the coffee cup deal better, it's late and I can't think straight. Phil-more program on their website.

    My fuel card guy called me today and said that whole november and december I will be getting 5 times more points when fueling at Pilots and J's. So 1500 gallons should bring me $75 I guess...
