It's a good idea to post the discount in the comment section when reporting a price. Remember though that the undiscounted price is what needs to be reported.

It seems to me that it's very topical for this site. That website saves me nearly $2.00 every time I fill up. One thing I like about it is that you get a confirmation email at every fillup.

The only drawback would be that there just aren't that many choices in stations that accept this type of payment, but since one of them is in my neighborhood it's great for me.

forrestc Champion Author Texas Posts:11,731 Points:1,657,685 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: May 19, 2008 2:58:42 PM Ignore forrestc Report Abuse I guess it should be stated that there is no set amount of discount. It is determined by the retailer.
forrestc Champion Author Texas Posts:11,731 Points:1,657,685 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: May 18, 2008 8:23:14 PM Ignore forrestc Report Abuse The Bastrop Grocery has decreased the discount to 5¢ for regular but has increase the discount to 15¢ for premium. That's OK w/ me since I run premium in the Harley & don't drive the truck(regular) much anyway. Today from Bastrop to N.Austin, Round Rock & Taylor, premium was 2.85-2.99 Premium frequently is more than 20¢ higher than regular. I paid 3.729 for premium @ Bastrop Grocery today. odd!!!!

pcprof Champion Author Austin Posts:7,275 Points:1,578,380 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Feb 10, 2008 9:42:43 PM Ignore pcprof Report Abuse No telling if they will add more locations "CPR", they seem to be expanding to some degree but I don't know when and where future expansion will be. My guess is that the more they can overcome the hesitancy of people to use their TDL as a debit, the more they will expand.

pcprof Champion Author Austin Posts:7,275 Points:1,578,380 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Feb 6, 2008 12:27:20 AM Ignore pcprof Report Abuse A couple of months ago I broke down and took a chance on this program. I thought I'd share a little feedback on my experience with you. Keep in mind that the website is www.rollbackprice.com - not rollbackpriceS.com The signup process was easy. First, I filled out a very simple form - took all of 2 or three minutes. Next they put a small deposit in my checking account which I had to acknowledge via email. After that my "card" - i.e. TDL, was activated. Use of their system is simple, you swipe your license at the pump just like a credit card and punch in a 4 digit pin. A record of each transaction is then emailed to me, and usually beats me home. The money is deducted from my account two or three days after the transaction date. The biggest advantage of using this system is cost. The lowest price for regular on the Austin board as of this writing was $2.71 gal in Taylor. Lowest listed Austin city price was $2.78 gal in Central Austin. I filled up for $2.63 gal. at the Everyday on South Congress. The biggest drawback is there are currently only three locations in this area, two in the Austin city limits. Since my job brings me to pretty much every part of town on a pretty regular basis, it is rarely out of the way to get to South Congress or Anderson Lane. Even if it was a little out of the way it would be worth it to make the trip. For example, the lowest price in my neighborhood today was $2.87. The trip to the South Congress location adds about 2.5 miles to the journey to buy gas but is easily paid for by the $.24 a gallon discount. The biggest thing that gave me pause about joining this program was its use of the TDL at the pump. But I suppose in a way, this system of using your drivers license for ID is safer then using a debit or credit card because if you lose it, it is unlikely that someone will know that your drivers license is activated for use at a gas pump let alone know your pin. I also doubt that the retailer knows any more information about me then he could get from a credit card company. There are some credit cards that give back cash discounts for gas purchases. This program is not quite in that league but is very close and for me worth the small effort it took to sign up.
pcprof Champion Author Austin Posts:7,275 Points:1,578,380 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Sep 9, 2007 1:32:35 PM Ignore pcprof Report Abuse Thanks for the link. I think where we are getting confused is in the difference between www.rollbackpriceS.com and www.rollbackpricE.com. The former is parked at GoDaddy the latter is an up and running web site. My link above goes to the latter. I'm just wondering if anyone has tried using this service. [Edited by: pcprof at 9/9/2007 2:35:15 PM EST]

The company's website doesn't have any kind of validation from business sites or anything, and it's only available at 5 convenience stores. seems kinda odd.
