Loyalty Pays: An Overview of Truck Stop Rewards Programs in the TCS Fuel Card Discount Network

Loyalty should be rewarded, especially in the world of trucking. Truckers deliver the goods we need to live every day, so let’s reward them for their dependability. Rewards programs for truck drivers at truck stop chains offer various benefits and incentives to drivers who frequent those truck stops. For instance, most major truck stop chains offer points, discounts, and credits on fuel, showers, food, drink, and other amenities for filling up at their locations.

TCS Fuel Card clients not only enjoy discounts on diesel right at the pump at more than 1,800 in-network locations across the country, but they can also participate in truck stop rewards programs while using the TCS Fuel Card.

Rewards Programs Basic Rules and Detailed Perks

Before we delve into the various fuel rewards programs at TCS Fuel Card in-network discount locations, here are basic rules that apply to most truck stops rewards programs:

• To participate in rewards programs, you must be a registered member. You can register for the rewards programs online, by phone, or by downloading the specific rewards program’s mobile app. You’ll need a mobile number and/or an email address to register.
• Rewards programs for truckers typically follow a tiered structure, earning one point for each gallon of fuel you purchase. Tiered programs also offer the opportunity to earn additional points as fuel purchased this month determines points earned next month. The following month you’ll receive the benefit of the tier earned the previous month.

TA and PETRO

Points System: TA and Petro offer UltraONE, a tiered rewards program with two types of rewards: UltraONE points and UltraCredits.

Parking, the TA reserved parking system. Additionally, each fuel purchase over 60 gallons earns one UltraCredit. UltraONE members also receive a free surprise during their birthday month.

Redemption: UltraONE points are redeemable for a variety of TA rewards, including TA Truck Service, free showers, meals at participating restaurants, parking, merchandise and electronics in-store, and Wi-Fi.
