I managed three gas stations, one of the sites we opened two weeks ago. I want to know if you have any system to update online search that could show my current price accurately.

It looks like some dishonest people are posting the wrong price on purpose. Could I make a contract with you so I could block wrong price posting?

Preferred solution: Correct price posting

Lack of communication

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Points dropped from thousands to 25; no explanation.
  • - Support emails got no response for weeks; considering Upside or FuelRewards.
GasBuddy - Lack of communication

I have used gasbuddy since at least 2017. Earlier this year I had thousands of points racked up.

Them all of a sudden I have 25 points. No idea where the points went or why. I went thru the contact is and sent an email. That was about 2 months ago.

No response after 4-6 weeks. Sent another email thru the contact us page. At this time I have still not received a response. I am about at the point to start using a different fuel savings app/program.

I do have Upside and FuelRewards, but have not used them as much as I had GasBuddy all these years. Time to make a change I guess.

User's recommendation: Keep an eye on any points earned

App is frustrating and too much trouble trying to understand all the changes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Since they changed everything on deal alerts and made it into Flash deals, which I don't understand at all, I don't care for the app anymore. Can't get any help understanding how it works now either.

I'm very frustrated with the app now and don't even care to use it anymore.

Not receiving discounts when I use my card

Gas Buddy said it looked like my card was not connected to them, which is what I told them. They said they opened a ticket, but I haven't been contacted.

My boyfriend's card is never showing a discount either. Looks like Gas Buddy is a scam, and now they have our bank account.

Loss:
$200
Pros:
  • No rewards given
Cons:
  • Scam

Preferred solution: Full refund

Asking for too much information, legal information

In order to start an account without using a checking account, what do I have to get my license and everything? My life away, I don't think this is right.

Pros:
  • I believe that you can use something else as a password instead of to prove our identity instead of all this legal information

Preferred solution: I’m not giving all my legal information

Updated by user Jul 14, 2026

Don't screw up. You can't get them to answer the phone.

You can email them, they send you the same way to resolve it but it's the same message no matter if it doesn't work. Very bad business.

Original review Jun 28, 2026

I've not been able to talk to a person. Email got me NO where.

They send the same email a the time. I've tried everything they ask me to do. Nothing works. Really upset that I can't get someone that will help me.

I don't receive phone calls unless you are on my contact list.

I someone wants to talk send me an email and phone number. This is getting old

Preferred solution: Get my card to work

Can't get my card to work.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - I've been trying to stop an issue since last year with no progress.
  • - Emails and calls yield no change; I plan to contact the BBB.

I've been trying off and on since last year. I try and stop because I'm not getting anywhere.

I've tried emailing many times. I've tried everything they asked me to do. Nothing works. They keep sending the same thing every time.

I'm really getting tired of trying to solve this.

I even tried calling; that got me nowhere. All I know I can do is contact the Better Business Bureau.

Preferred solution: I just want my card to work.

User's recommendation: Good luck

Lost card

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Its too hard to talk to a live person when I have an issue with my card! Also your people dont seem to care about people that have issues with their cards. I dont want to have to get mad, all I want to do is talk to a warm body that can talk in ENGLISH!

Cons:
  • Very difficult to reach a living person to

Preferred solution: I want to be able to speak to a live agent and not have to deal with the stupidity of trying to explain via text or email!

User's recommendation: questionable at this time

Need additional Gas Buddy card please

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I just wanted an extra card with the same account number for my spouse to use. I pay the bills, so I want him to have the same card/account number.

How do you handle cards for minors? Their card would be attached to the parent's account.

I'm not happy that I can't get an additional duplicate card. Thank you.

Preferred solution: Additional Gas Buddy card

Cards not working and can’t pay outstanding bal

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Emails four times about a billing issue and nonworking cards; no reply.
  • - Phone support promised a text link to pay; no link or live agent.

I have emailed on four separate occasions to try and get this issue resolved with the billing and why my cards aren't working. I have had no response.

Then, when I call your number, they say they're gonna text me a link to help me pay the bill that's outstanding. I received no link, I was not connected with a live agent, and now I'm in the same spot I was in before trying to get this resolved.

Pros:
  • It is good
Cons:
  • Can never talk to anyone

Preferred solution: A live agent to speak with
