Free Gas! (This Is Not a Joke)

“I have so much free gas, I can’t even use it all.” If you haven’t said this yourself, then read this tip. As a business owner, your business incurs expenses. What if those expenses could translate to free gas points?

Many grocery stores provide incentives for using their loyalty cards. Often this translates to cents off gas at their store-run gas stations. Stores like Kroger, Giant Eagle and Smith’s offer these points when purchasing gift cards. If you know your business will incur expenses, such as lumber from Home Depot, purchase a Home Depot gift card using your company credit and loyalty card at your local grocery store that offers gas points. Purchase enough and you can earn enough points for a free tank of gas. Check with your local store for special days in which gift cards earn double points.

For example, if you take clients out for meals, restaurant gift cards apply. A quick check in at your local grocer’s customer service counter can mean free gas for life.
