I make quite a few purchases at Home Depot on line and they reward me with $$ rewards so last night I purchased a MAXIMUM 20 gallons @ .109/gallon for a WHOPPING total of $2.10. Now that is rolling back prices I like to see!

Every fifty dollars you spend your earn five cents. The stores may also have certain items that will earn you gas discounts as well. There are store you can shop from only online like target, bass pro shop, and macys and every fifty earns you from five to fifteen cents and some of those store with double your rewards. I just went grocery shopping and spent $151and earned 35cents off per gallon up twenty gallons. [Edited by: monkey102010 at 12/14/2012 9:06:24 PM EST]

So it is just a little something if you plan ahead and doesn't cost anything. It sure was nice to get a 20 gallons for $2.10..I kept the receipt and put it on my Facebook.

If you have to make the purchases anyway, why not do it though a program that offers rewards for those purchases at no extra cost? It's just like the discount programs that some grocery store chains offer, except is available at a much larger option of retailers, as well as restaurants. The point isn't to go out and make useless purchases to get a discount, it's to use what you would buy everyday anyway to accumulate gas discounts.

Any scheme to avoid actually lowering the price of gasoline... although we actually have 13 stations under $3/gallon right now around here... .. I don't shop Home Depot anymore, because Menard's has the newest home centers around town here now, so it has the lowest prices... although Lowe's is always so damned glad to see a customer actually walk into one of their stores these days... the store clerks act like they want to kiss you...

rugbyphil Champion Author Las Vegas Posts:22,759 Points:3,516,485 Joined:Apr 2003	Message Posted: Dec 12, 2012 10:12:30 AM Ignore rugbyphil Report Abuse well it is simple to understand except for skeptics. If I need to buy something anyway, why not do it through FRN website and links to the retailer such as Bass Pro, Home Depot,Sears, Lowes, etc. I am not going out to spend $1000 so I can save $2 but if I have to buy something then I just plan on doing it online.
Gas_Buddy Champion Author Maryland Posts:25,958 Points:3,032,115 Joined:Aug 2004	Message Posted: Dec 11, 2012 8:47:35 PM Ignore Gas_Buddy Report Abuse I'm probably naive but how is having to make "quite a few purchases at Home Depot on line"and getting discount on up to 20 gallons of gas "rolling back prices"? Second, you don't think that you're getting this discount simply because you spent money at Home Depot and they didn't make a profit that offsets the "roll back" (to use your words) at the gas pump, do you? And you don't think that Home Depot isn't still making a profit on the "quite a few purchases" you make, do you? Tell us when you get a "rolling back prices" without having to make "quite a few purchases at Home Depot". Then you can brag.

I figured that groceries would cost me more shopping at winn dixie than sweet bay, but with all the buy one get one free they have I spend the same amount and get more. Wishyou didn't have to shop online though to earn points
