Fueling up doesn’t have to drain your wallet—especially if you’re using Fluz. Smart drivers know that combining cashback tools with loyalty programs, station timing, and a few strategic habits can turn everyday fill-ups into real savings. Whether you’re commuting, running errands, or taking a road trip, here are the best fuel hacks using Fluz to maximize your money at the pump.

  1. Stack Fluz with Gas Station Loyalty Programs

Most major fuel chains offer free loyalty programs that give you cents-off per gallon when you spend or swipe. With Fluz, you can stack cashback on top of those discounts.

How It Works:

  • Sign up for your favorite station’s rewards program (like 76, Shell, or BP).

  • Use Fluz to buy a gift card to that brand (e.g., 76 Gas).

  • Swipe your loyalty card when you fill up, then pay with the Fluz gift card.

  • Earn both cashback from Fluz and a discount at the pump.

It’s one of the easiest ways to double-dip without changing your routine.

  1. Time Your Fill-Ups Strategically

Fuel prices fluctuate based on demand, delivery schedules, and even the time of day. Combine Fluz with smart fueling times for better savings.

Best Times to Fill Up:

  • Early morning (before 9 a.m.): Cooler temps = denser fuel, better volume

  • Midweek (Tuesday or Wednesday): Avoid weekend price spikes

  • Before holidays: Prices often rise heading into long weekends

Use this strategy with stations from cashback-friendly brands like Walmart, which often have co-located fuel centers and allow you to grab essentials while you fill up.

  1. Use the Right Denominations on Fluz

Fluz lets you choose the gift card value before you pay—so plan ahead.

Smart Hack:

  • Check your tank size and average fuel price in your area.

  • Buy a card for just the amount you’ll use, so you’re not left with small balances.

  • If you’re combining stops (fuel, coffee, groceries), consider merchants like Starbucks or Advance Auto Parts, both available on Fluz.

By tailoring each gift card to your needs, you streamline payment and maximize every dollar.

  1. Build a Routine Around Fluz

The easiest way to save consistently is to make it a habit. Build Fluz into your weekly schedule:

  • Monday: Plan your week and estimate driving/fuel needs.

  • Tuesday: Purchase Fluz gift cards during midweek price dips.

  • Thursday: Combine errands into one fuel-efficient route using Google Maps or Waze.

  • Sunday: Review your cashback earnings and budget ahead.

Want to save even more time and mileage? Explore ride alternatives like UrbanSwift, CribCab, or TransitCore, and apply Fluz rewards to non-fuel spending when needed.

  1. Real Users Are Saving $20–$50 a Month

Let’s break down an example:

Driver A:

  • Fills up twice a week at 76 Gas

  • Buys $50 Fluz gift cards twice a week

  • Earns 3% cashback = $3 per week

  • Monthly cashback = $12

Driver B:

  • Combines fuel + snacks from CVS + oil change at AutoZone

  • Earns $20–$30/month in total cashback

  • Uses that cashback to buy next month’s fuel gift cards

Fluz rewards are instant, so drivers see savings reflected right after the transaction—no scanning receipts or waiting for points to process.

You don’t need to change vehicles or overhaul your lifestyle to save on gas. With smart timing, loyalty program stacking, and routine use of Fluz, you can turn every stop at the pump into an opportunity to earn money back.
