Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Makes me mad. This is a new truck.

 

Hey, just saw an email about Petro/TA revamping their rewards program... from what I read so far it looks like they are adopting the Loves 1, 2, 3, 4 points per gallon next month based on purchases made this month... the levels are higher than Loves... starting at 750 gallons per month and maxing out at 1,750/month to get the 4 points.

But, instead of just a free shower credit for purchases made of 60 gallons or more, one can now get “UltraCredits”... which, depending on your Point Level (or Gear Level) one can now use the UltraCredits for free showers, free meals, or free parking.

Here are the new levels:



I applied for my UltraOne Card but it didn’t arrive at home before I rolled out Saturday. I might have to look into trying out this new program of theirs... I think the old program was Year by Year (as opposed to Month by Month) and then only 2x points... so I never signed up.

Anyone use this program now that Abilene can fuel up at most Petro/TA locations?

 

Ya, the first dent is always the hardest.

 

Nothing I could have done different except leave later than I did. I've babied this truck since I've got it. Looks terrible now with damage. Then the worst part is dealing with Mr. Attitude at the body shop in Richmond. I dread that already.

 

Not on purpose, but I think I've done it on accident before just because TA/Petro is my preferred place to fuel.

PRO-TIP: If you ever get repairs done at a TA, see if they'll swipe your UltraOne card when they process Abilene's payment. That way you get reward points for the repair. I wound up with almost $70 worth of points on my UltraOne card doing that. Bought an expensive headset that I wouldn't have ever bought otherwise with the free points I got from Abilene's money. Nice little hidden perk there.

 

Had lunch with Jeff today... he said they were surveying every inch of the major intersections south of the WM Yard, so they should be working on it soon. So maybe coordinate the bombing with the first phase... so it will break up all the concrete and make removal easier.

 

Great Pro Tip... I never had the chance to use my Loves Card for tires, etc... but I think one can use it the same way at Loves too... not 100% sure but glad we can do that at TA/P Shops.

 

Heading from WM to Wichita Falls, TX

Anyone driven on US 82 running along the TX/OK border? Recommend it or best to take 40 to 44 around the northern way?
