    ...again? Didn't they just come out with a new combined P/FJ rewards card last year?

    May I propose instead you take that money that would have been spent in marketing and promotion and put it back at the stores in payroll dollars so we can have more than one cashier working during peak hours?

    If they hired enough help to keep the showers clean when you need one, they would have to pay for more benefits. Little plastic cards are much cheaper.

    You don't have to get a new card, the old ones will work fine. I wanted the new one so I could have the key chain card.

    The flying J/Pilot rewards card is rather crappy.No more red cup for a free drink,now they use your points for coffee.1 point per gallon,big deal.Loves gives us 2 points per gallon(DOUBLE the pile of J},fuel is always 1 cent cheaper,and drink refills are really FREE when fueling at Loves.So,ill go to Loves every time over the J.The J wins over TA,but just barely.Just my humble opinion....

    They focus on more marketing bs than anything. Oh yeah I used to be a Trace Adkins fan, no longer since he "Supports" them

    When they redid the cards last time, they forgot the RV community. Pilot had never had any rewards for the RVrs, but J did.
    So this new card is to bring those people in.
    Included in the new rewards are things like free RV dump when you fill, plus points at the RV diesel pumps (and gas pumps) something that was missing with the old card.
    Your old card works fine and you don't gain anything (as a trucker) with the new card.

    the new cards give a bonus of 10 dollars a month in points if ya buy 500 gallons.

    so truckers have gained something, its right on the receipts telling you how many gallons til you reach bonus
