Gas Buying Influenced by Loyalty Cards
While such incentives are a growing inducement, more drivers still pick a retailer on cost alone.
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – While price is still supreme, the number of motorists choosing a convenience store based on a loyalty card is growing, Consumer Affairs reports, citing new findings from the 2014 NACS Consumer Fuels Report that examines consumer behavior at the pump.
Today, 66% of consumers point to price as the top reason for picking a certain retail fueling location, but 18% make that choice because of a loyalty card, according to the NACS survey. Loyalty cards typically give regulars specific perks, such as discount per gallon of fuel.

How did you hear of Triple E Technologies?
With changing regulations, we needed to update our system and meet PCI requirements. We heard about a Triple E Technology presentation being hosted in Salina, which we attended with personnel from our IT, operations and energy departments. We were impressed with the software capabilities provided by Triple E so we then researched existing cooperatives already using the equipment. After seeing how well it was going with companies similar to Farmway, we decided that Triple E Technologies would be the best fit for our company.
What did they have before Triple E system?
Farmway utilized Gasboy before transitioning to the Triple E system.
How is the system working for them?
The transition process went as well as can be expected when going through a learning curve. The support staff was readily available if we had questions or concerns, which we greatly appreciated. The software package has been excellent and it contains a lot of potential that we haven’t fully utilized yet, but do plan on taking advantage of. The compatibility between the software program and our current accounting system as well as the on-staff software writers have been true benefits for the cooperative.
Would you recommend this product to anyone?
Farmway’s purpose is to help our owners succeed. Therefore, it is vital that the cooperative aligns with businesses that help bring our purpose into reality by providing quality products, service and customized solutions to our patrons. Triple E has been able to provide that for our petroleum needs. We have communicated the benefits of the Triple E system numerous times to other businesses and Agris users. We know of at least one business that has adopted the system after visiting with Farmway employees.
