    Hi all,
    Might be a dumb question. Since the great pumpkin slowed their trucks down, they must have worked something out with Pilot...because now we are earning points on the pilot cards. I've used the showers off of them before, but never bought their subway food stuff. I know it takes x number of points, but how do you know how many points something costs? Id like to go in and get a sub, but its pointless to do if I don't know how much it costs, point wise.

    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Most places give 1 point for each gallon of fuel bought.

    yep what brick said. my co. ,and others have deals with them where we get 2 points per gallon. BTW 1 point equals 1 cent.
    soo 100 gallons gets ya a buck (or 2 if double)

    All righty, thanks everyone for your replies. That helps alot in knowing what I can buy and such. Just checked their website and it says its for anything in the store.

    Second question...just sort of an offshoot I guess: Are the points immediately zapped onto the card or is there a wait? The website takes a day to update and I wasn't sure if that applied to the cards..ie..if you want to buy a pop and just earned 100 points today, are those points immediatly on there so you can use them right when you get them?

    Well its not too bad, better than nothing I suppose. Only sucky part is I only go through about 70ish gallons of fuel each day...enough for a smile and a pat on the back, lol. Wait...no...thats what I get paid each week, dang it!

    I think the rules state that you have to have 500 points when you first start to you the card then after that you can use your points right away 100 points would be a dollar
