Speedy Rewards: No clear answer! Upset? Leave a comment!
Monday 14 Jan 2008 | Posted By Patrick | Commentary
So rumors have been abundant about Speedway canceling its beloved Speedy Rewards program starting January 1. What has changed? I’m not sure. A few posts from GrandRapidsGasPrices.com got me curious- I had yet to hear about anything changing, so I went digging.
Here is what I’ve found so far:
Coupons violate state law mandated by Weights and Measures Department
MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) —
(12/31/07)–The new year always bris with it change, but this you may
not want. At midnight New Year’s Eve, a popular way to get discounts at
the pump will be no more.
A representative from a local Speedway says the chain will no longer
offer fuel discount redemptions in the form of coupons or receipts.
The coupons violate a state law mandated by the Weights and Measures
Department. But if you use a Speedy Rewards Card at the pump you can
still get a deal on gas.
Speedway says it plans to accept the coupons customers already have until they expire.

I e-mailed WOODTV to see if they’d pick up the story… more on that later.

The Speedy Rewards Program is the primary reason I go to Speedway. It’s quite a deal in its current form.
I’m not happy that Speedway has started putting TV’s on their pumps. There’s still one station nearby that does not have them. I’ll favor that station over the other Speedways. If the Rewards program is done away with then I’ll probably stop shopping Speedway altogether.
I’ll reserve final judgement until I see how much of a discount is offered at the pump when using a Speedy Rewards Card. The other rewards don’t amount to enough to retain me as a Speedway customer. I might as well switch back to the convenience of the Mobil close to my home.
Thanks to Brian for the tipoff on the cameras at the Speedway pumps. Didn’t know about that yet.
