Rewards at the pump

I joined the Speedy Rewards gas loyalty program because they have a deal on gallons of milk.

I was so oblivious to gas prices until recently (hey, a girl can only care about so much when it comes to saving money), that it failed to dawn on me that I bet a gas station rewards program had perks at the pump in addition to the dairy case.

It was only recently that I began using the coupons for Holiday Stations that print out after spending money for groceries at Cub Foods. Why would I walk all the way inside instead of pay at the pump to save a few pennies, I figured.

Then when I’m at Costco, which is less often these days, I fill up there. The warehouse clubs typically have gas that’s a few cents cheaper than nearby stations.

How do you save money on gas? Are you a fan of one particular rewards program over another? Share your strategies.
