Trunow - Find the cheapest gas 17+

Great app but horrible payout options.

I love the idea of the app. I also love that you get points for either confirming or editing gas prices. I do not like that so many gas stations are missing from the map so you can not get points mentioned above. I also do not like that I have been in several different states using this app and have NEVER seen a place they allow you to use your earnings. It is cool they have a paypal option to combat this but then they take HALF of your earnings!!! I get maybe having a “fee” for doing the paypal option but half?!? I still am using the app but I really hope they check themselves on this practice or I do not think I will stick around after my first cash out.

Thank you for your feedback. Our rewards programs change regularly. Current reward programs give Paypal option at 50% of the rewards. We will take your input into consideration.

We are onboarding retailers very quickly. However, we need to train them to ensure they provide a superior experience to trunow members. Our goal is to have retailers in every local market as quickly as possible.

Not worth the time

I have had this app for a few years now along with another very similar app. I have earned $40 in 3 years on this app, while I earned $400 on the other app using the same receipts.
On top of that, when I went to redeem my points for gift cards, it said no retailers nearby. I have tried this in other area as well to see if I was near anything while I was in another city. The second option is to redeem your points for cash to your PayPal account, however they reduce the amount by 50% if you choose to use that option.
Honestly, this app has been a waste of my time. It could be a good app if they operated like the ‘other apo’ and gave more points/cash back and actually had a lot of retailers to redeem your points with buy otherwise I have honestly been wasting my time and they haven’t improved their app the whole time. I’ll be deleting this app.

Horrible Customer Service!

I had about $5 earned on this app, when they closed my account for using too many cards. When I reached out they sent me an automated response back. I replied to the automated response explaining that I run a company with Fuel Cards in each vehicle and directed my team to gas stations so they can fill up at the pumps and use Trunow discounts in the convenient stores. I messaged in explaining that I am using the app accordingly but if I need to cut that out I will and only use it for one card (which would mean I would not advice my team to use the Trunow app for discounts on food in-store). To me this seemed like a win-win for Trunow and my employees. I still have not heard back. Receiving any response at all would be more professional and I would not be here rating the app 1 Star. After my experience I would advice all to steer clear and AVOID THIS APP. Don’t waste your time. You may lose all your earnings
