Gas buddy was so amazing years ago

Gas buddy was so amazing years ago. Accurate prices anywhere we went. Now you arrive to find different prices, closed gas stations, no gas station, inaccurate distances. We dropped our premium membership. Was greatest app and now awful. Any one at the wheel?

Gouged by Gas Buddy

Well, we got off I-75 at West Branch bc Gas Buddy said the Shell station was $2.85. It was NOT. It was $3.39. Reading other reviews, I will be deleting the Gas Buddy app.

Prices are not updated frequently…

Prices are not updated frequently enough to be useful. Also find certain users are not reporting the correct price consistently. Absolutely useless anymore

Deceitful practices

Deceitful practices. Does not pay out Reward Points/Gift Cards. Spoke to customer service. Said wait a week. It's been 2 weeks. NOTHINGEven if the rewards come... it's not worth the hassle and time trying to claim your reward.

NEVER reports accurate cost of gas

NEVER reports accurate cost of gas. ALWAYS reports Canco on Barton St Hamilton at least 3 full cents cheaper than what it actually is. States false gas prices in city's - if u pass by or call each crntre first u will see how far off this website actually is. Don't waste ur time using it

Daily limit too low.

While the app can save you money when you use it the GasBuddy MasterCard is disappointing on long trips. It doesn’t matter how long you have been a GasBuddy user you are limited to only being able to buy $100 in fuel per day. A recent trip from Michigan to North Carolina in my Pickup Truck I had to use another credit card to complete my trip as it took more than $100 in Diesel. Even today my truck was low on fuel and the pump shut off at $100 and I finished filling up with a second card. This is an inconvenience as you have to hang the pump handle up then start the process again with a different card. It would seem that with the price, especially on Diesel being so high increasing the daily fuel limit to at least $150 should make sense to even the corporate executives at GasBuddy. I am seriously considering switching to UpSide as they do limit you to 50 gallons per location which is more than my tank holds and the Daily limit is $400 not $100.

Absolutely horrible

Absolutely horrible, this new card. Constantly get limit reached at the pump and I have to use a different card to finish filling my car. When you reach out to Customer Service, they asked the same questions over and over and over so it must be a bot. Done with this useless BS.

I have a new phone

I have a new phone. My app. was transferred from my old phone & I had to login. It kept sending me in circles. I couldn’t register my gas buddy card in my account. I used their chat app they could not answer my question & stated they would have to transfer me to a tech. It asked for my credit card number & I asked how much it would cost. She said $45. I told her to for get it. It was not worth it to save 3 cents a gallon. I would rate their customer service 0 if I could..

used to be a great app

Us to be a great app and a quick way to find low cost gas near you. Now it's bloated with self promoting ads and it loads their ads before giving any gas info. I never did get a price for gas because it kept re- directing to a promo.

Worst customer service I have ever…

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. My account was set up with an email I no longer have access to, so I simply wanted to change the email address. Since I cant access my old email, it is impossible to change it. Tried contacting GasBuddy multiple times via email per their instructions, finally got a response that my email was outside normal working hours. I sent my email at 10:49 am EST on a Friday. I then sent another email on a Monday at 11 am and again was told its outside their business hours, which are Mon - Fri 9 am - 5 pm EST...Worst service ever!

My membership was discontinued without a notice or warning. I had been a member for over 10 years. I attempted to open my account only to find out it had been closed. No explanation or warning. I have attempted to contact them several times to no avail.

Scam

I received a card with a chip that does not work. There is a charge to replace it. What a scam

If I could give zero stars

If I could give zero stars, I would. I've been a customer for more than 7 years and only recently (seems like when they switched to GasBuddy+) I've had nothing but issues and problems with their app and website. Their customer service (Brandi) is beyond horrible. She has zero understanding of how to help resolve the issue. She's asked the same question FIVE times and every time, I have given her the information she requested. The sad part is? She wanted to verify my email. Screenshots and five confirmations later, she is still unable to ask the next question. The app...horrible. The website...horrible. The customer service? A JOKE.

Speedway deceiving people on Gas Buddy

I have tried numerous times to go to a Speedway gas station near me at I-40 Exit 412 on Deep Springs Rd in TN that advertises good discounted gas prices and every time I go there the gas pump tells me to see the attendant which frustrates me and I end up using my debit card. I contacted the Speedway Corporate office to find out what is going on at the person that replied to me told me that Speedway does not participate in the Gas Buddy program so my question is why does Gas Buddy allow Speedway to even show up on the app?To me that is very dishonest deceiving people with fraudulent gas prices. Gas Buddy needs to remove Speedway from the Gas Buddy app.
