Loves: Shower credits only good for 7 days now

Flying j policy is only 2 showers in a 24 hr period that sucks if you have 3 tarp jobs in a 24 hr time frame...lol

 

flying pilot started the time limits,no free coffee with a fuel up, cash/credit diff in price,ect.

I don't use them unless no other is handy.

give me a mom and pop t/s any day. no I'm not a o/o

 

I quit trying to shower at Love's long ago . They expect one person to work the fuel desk and clean showers on third shift . I'll go to a Pilot or Flying J where I can get my shower ticket at a kiosk .

 

Actually PFJ shower credits can last up to 10 days as per thier faq
I currently have 8 on mine, and never run out of them , even when i take 5 days off.

What is a Monthly Reward Level? When you use your Pilot Flying J loyalty member card while purchasing fuel, your purchases are automatically tracked. If you purchase over 500 gallons in any calendar month, you qualify for Reward Level 2. That means the following month all showers you earn will have a 7 day expiration and you will receive special Reward Level 2 offers throughout the month. If you purchase over 1,000 gallons in any calendar month, you will qualify for Reward Level 3. That means the following month all showers you earn will have a 10 day expiration and you will receive special Reward Level 3 offers throughout the month. Your member card must be registered to qualify for Reward Levels 2 & 3 offers.

 

I love me some pilot/flying j. I love the new showers.

 

I mostly use TA and Petro. I also use Love's for some fuel purchases. The only time I stop at Flying J or Pilot is if I need a shower and there is nothing else close. Even then, I only buy the minimum to get a shower. I stopped doing business with Flying J when Pilot bought them out. I don't like Denny's and prefer a good sit down restaurant. My preference is the independent truck stops. The down side is that you can't take the showers with you, whereas you can with the chains. At one time, Flying J did not have a time when their showers cancelled. That was when I mostly used them as my fuel stop.

 

I think I had three showers on my PFJ card when I started my vacation Sunday....odds are I'll still have at least one or two when I go back out next Sunday.

 

I've gotten free showers at TAs (we only fuel at love's) when I've busted out my debit card at the fuel desk and the cashier gave it to me free. I guess it helps that my jacket is kind of torn up and I look like a broke ### truck driver. Only works when its an older lady at the helm. Youngsters or guys, no dice.

 

Most drivers belong to a fuel program and fuel at specific places. You fuel every other day equals three showers a week. If you wanted to shower every day you could fuel 120 gal a day but it would be a PITA. But either way stock piling shower credits shouldn't be an issue. If you don't have one, fuel up! Either you fueled yesterday, today or tomorrow. I don't see where the problem is. Anytime I've seen or heard someone needing a shower I always gave them one of mine. If someone needs one there is always a way of getting one without paying for one. Not once have I ever been in a predicament where I couldn't get a shower. I could see if you run 200-300 miles a day but then you need another job.

They have expiration dates to keep people like me from giving them away!
