    Scrolled through for a while and didn’t see anyone complaining about ditching coupons for their app bullshit. I’m not using an app for fast food

      I’m currently waffling on whether or not to use my bank account info with the app for a small gas station chain. It would get me a $0.10 discount per gallon, but I’d have to use the app at the pump. I get that they’d save fees with credit card processors so that’s why they’re offering it, but using a credit card is so much less effort and doesn’t require me to keep yet another app on my phone.

        Get a Costco membership then get gas at Costco with the Costco Visa. Sure, they know everything about you, but at least it’s a single company and you’re not giving them direct access to your actual bank account.

        I drove all the way from Chicagoland to around Pensacola and back, only got gas at Costcos along the way. Saved probably $20 just in price difference between Costco and other nearby stations, while also earning 4% back on the Visa.
