We were just asked in an email how we can get gas cheap. So I thought I would repost this to help answer any questions.
I was able to fill my Mini Van Saturday for $16.14, I only had to pay .95 cents a gallon. How you ask? The Albertsons Gas rewards program, the best part is, it is credited before coupons. So all those things I get free with coupons still count towards my gas rewards.
Here are the details,
Every time you accumulate $50 in qualified purchases, you’ll earn a 5 cent per gallon discount good on your first 20 gallons purchased at participating Albertsons Express locations. Gas Rewards expire 90 days from the date of award issuance. Qualified purchases exclude dairy, prescriptions, tobacco, alcohol, money orders, stamps, lottery tickets, gift cards and fuel or other products prohibited by Law. Gas Rewards have no cash value and are not valid with any other fuel discount or offer. You can fill as much as you would like if you prepay inside. If you pay at the pump, the transaction will STOP at 20 gallons when using your Gas Rewards. Separate transaction required if you want to purchase additional fuel after the first 20 gallons are pumped. If fuel purchase using accumulated Gas Rewards is less than 20 gallons, Gas Rewards accumulated balance will reset to zero when transaction completes.This is a limited time offer.

One way I can get gas for less when I am saving rewards is to buy gas at costco. You have to be a member but thier price is really good. Another thing you can do if you live in Boise is watch for the carwashes that have fuel and convenience stores. The one on Overland by Walmart gives 20 cents off per gallon if you buy 8 or more gallons whenever you pay for a carwash.
The best part (for me anyways) is that my parents live in a state that does not have Albertson’s gas stations… so we all use the same preferred phone # and I get to use the gas rewards…my mom is also an avid coupon user so I get on average 35-50 cents off per gallon EVERY time I fill up…so just an idea if you are in the same situation and have out of state relative…maybe you could all use the same phone number and rack up those gas rewards for whoever has the gas stations…
Sadly, we have no Albertson’s around (sounds like you get GREAT deals!), but we do have Giant Eagle which offers a similar fuel perks program. 10 cents off each gallon for every $50 you spend. I never noticed whether its pre- or post-coupons though. I will have to look into it!
Yeah, Debbie– How do I find out how much gas I have on my card? Also, if I made a purchase at an Albertsons that doesn’t have a gas pump in the front, I still get the gas rewards or do I need to go to a specific store with an Albie’s gas? Please let me know asap thanks!
Where did you find gas that was originally only $2.26 a gallon?
Kristen, this was the price last month…..I had a a few question about the gas program so I jsut reposted the the whole post…hope that helps
To Debbie in LV – I live in LV and the number at the bottom of my Albertsons receipt is 1-877-932-7948 to call w/ questions. If you have your preferred card number they will be able to tell your gas rewards amount. I have done it before. Remember – the gas rewards expire every 90 days so I lost some of my rewards in July. When you call, ask when your next cut off date is. Hope this helps.
I wish that we had something like this in Southwest Virginia. All we have is Kroger gas (which we don’t even have in my town) and it’s calculated after coupons. You have to spend $100 to get 10 cents off… I can’t remember the last time I spent $100 oop at Kroger in a month… boo!
Good for you though! this is awesome!
YETONE MORE THING THAT TICKS ME OFF ABOUT THE CA ALBERTSON’S THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS HERE. I wish so much for a store out here any store to be as accepting of coupons as yours is to you. I feel I have to work so much harder to get the good deals you get there. no hard feelings tward you just the companies out here. they limit you to 3 /.10 a transaction so only 30cents at a time AND THE NIT PICK EVERY COUPON I GIVE THEM
Debbie … when you enter your prefered number at the pump it tells you how much you have in gas rewards and asks you if you want to use it then or keep saving. HTH!
I got gas in Salt Lake last week for $1.51 — I had .90 off!
Does anyone know how to find out when the rewards expire. I am not sure when I got my first .05 off and now I am up to .50 off. I want to spend my rewards before they start expiring.
Thanks
Do’es anyone Know how you can look up your gas rewards,how much you have on your card.I lost my recipt and want to know whats on my card before I go to the pump? thanks Deb
Got my gas for $1.54/gallon!! Woot!
FYI, last week I had to go inside the Albertson’s gas station because the rewards weren’t working from the pump. The guy in there said if you go inside they will let you fill up, rather than just getting 20 gallons (I have a suburban which takes almost 30). Not sure if this was just that guy being nice or if it will work with everyone, but worth going in and asking!
I have accrued a large discount too, but sadly their isn’t a single Albertsons gas station for 30 miles around me!!! BUT Vons DOES have a gas station, but I’m not sure how their discount works… I’ll have to look into it. Way to go!
Forgot to mention that the Safeway $100 is AFTER coupons. Boo!
Wow..pretty awesome! I was stoked and I only got $0.20/gallon discount at my Safeway fill-up yesterday. I have to purchase $100 for every $0.10/gallon discount and with all of my couponing, my grocery bills just aren’t that high anymore. I guess what I’m saving in groceries more than makes up for the gas discount!
Well you may not be spending alot on groceries, but they usually count your pre-discount total towards your gas card discounts
I’m so jealous!! In Bellingham,WA we don’t have anything like this
And the Safeway is too far. I haven’t seen gas that cheap in 10+ years. AWESOME!!
I was excited today, because I haven’t filled up at my Safeway Gas Station since getting all those living well coupons and deals a couple of weeks ago . . . we get 10 cents off per gallon (gas is a lot more in California!). So I had 70 cents off/gallon and paid $1.81/gallon. I thought how cool is that, I got huge deals on the groceries and now I get cheap gas too! Can’t beat it!!
