    How about going into the J in Fairview TN. to get a shower only to be told that my J card isn't any good there and if I don't have a shower on my Pilot card I have to pay $10 for one. I had 3 on my J card.

    When I ask to see the manager he told me the same thing, and said there was know way to verifiy that I actualy had a shower on my card and that he was sorry but without one on a Pilot card it would be $10. I told him he was sorry alright and to go have sex with him self. Then I went down to the Petro 2 and Paid THEM $10 for a shower.

    That was one of the 41 or 44 Js that can't use the frequent fueler card for transactions due to a technical glitch. You can get a Pilot card at those locations,they also give 150 extra points with a fuel purchase of 50 gallons or more to makeup for no free drinks on the Pilot card.

    This was on the website.

    It sounds like the points cards issue hasn't been resolved, and each location will keep their respective system except for those that aren't working correctly now.

    I guess if I wanted a shower and could buy fuel there with either card, I'd buy 50 gallons to get the shower on the card they are using at the time.

    I didn't use my J card for a long time and now I can't find the darned thing.


    One more item, Petro and TA are moving to an Ultra card that will work with both systems.

When I was low on points on one of them and not the other I could never be around one I need at the time...so I was always like ...ok can I squeeze 50 gallons into the #### truck and reefer to get a shower:biggrin_25513: or am I gonna stink one more day or pay for one when I have 5 on another card:biggrin_25513:


    A few times I broke down and paid for one because it had been a hot day or got rained on etc....
