    so, just as a heads up. For September, pilot/j have a new "PhilBrr" cup. It costs $3.49 to buy it and you get a free fill up when it's purchased. As well as 350 points for getting it.

    What the silly people didn't do though, is limit this. I'm now on cup #4 and except for the few pennies in taxes, it's basically free coffee and a free coffee cup. It's also bigger than the red ones.

    I didn't think of that.
    Can you put coffee in it?

    Why that's the first thing I asked them. Yep, tested it 4 times now. It's the same as the red cup, just looks misleading.

    What're you gonna do with all the travel mugs you accumulate, @Friday? EBay them? Add them to your assortment of 'fine China'... What?

    I mean, I see the effort to point-grab... but I'm not the sort to have 16 mugs for the points... I can barely keep track of my one which I use for free brown water at Loves. (Pilot def has better coffee.)
     
    AM14 and Friday Thank this.

    Throw them out. Make a decoration for my trailer. Make a huge plastic bonfire. Not sure. The point isn't the mugs. The point is the free first fill up. Free coffee.

    Free coffee.

    Edit: yeah. Also free cups. And you do have to convert $3.50 into 350 pilot points for it. But those points will be useful for the rest of the year to get coffee. Or whenever I want a sandwich or something.

    I think the obvious thing to do is load em all up on his dashboard like most of the trucks I see. Friday, be sure to sprinkle some Mickey D's yellow hamburger wrappers on top. I hear that cuts down on the glare bouncing off that shiny white hood.
     
    Friday Thanks this.

    Pfj is to the worst coffee on the interstate I seriously don't know how people drink it.
    Unless you're one of those folks that put all those fufu flavors in to cover up the taste.

    But ya gotta admit that's a catch if ya drink that swill.
