Rate: (10 Ratings)

Feel like your just stuffing more and more money INTO your gas tank every time you fill up? Here are some ways to get some money back OUT of your frequent fillups--and no lengthy online surveys are required!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate
Step1
ADVERTISE YOUR DRIVING VEHICLE! You can make an extra $40-400 a month driving around with an advertising sign for GypsyBug, an online classified company, around on your car. Other companies like freegashelp.com set you up with companies that are also seeking car advertisers. A simple magnetic or vinyl sign may earn you big money this summer.

Step2
GET PAID FOR CARPOOLING! Your state might pay you to be a carpooler. In New Jersey, they'll pay you $100 to carpool. They'll even pay up if you live in the state of New Jersey, but are required to work out of the state!http://www.state.nj.us/transportation/commuter/rideshare/gascard.shtm
Step3
CHECK YOUR LOCAL DEALER: New and used car sales are slumping, and we the consumers are going to benefit this summer from it. Companies like Bob Baker Subaru in San Diego, California are offering $20 gas cards just for test driving a new Impreza. This is an effort on dealers parts to drive more traffic to their lots. Other car dealers will offer free gas with a new or used car purchase with some offering up to one years worth of free gas. Bob Baker Subaru: http://www.sandiego-subaru-impreza.com/
Step4
LOOK TO LODGING PLACES: Yes, even your hotel is suffering this summer. Hotels like the Palazzo in Las Vegas, Nevada just finished running a promotion that offered $50 gas cards for staying at their hotel. Other bed and breakfast, hotels, and popular destinations are attempting to lure in customers this summer by posting gas incentives for staying with them. Wanting to rent a houseboat? They'll give you $500 to!

Step5
BANKS ARE IN ON THE ACTION: Banks are offering $100 gas cards for transferring to their bank. Banks like Flagstar will offer $100 for putting money into their CD account. Watch for other offers to pop up. And as always, look at these offers carefully before applying. https://www.flagstar.com/publish/fbc/fsb/en/www/AdvertisingPromoLanding.html
Step6
CAR/TRAVEL CLUBS: Clubs like Travelers Advantage and Drive America are also offering free gas cards with trial memberships. These clubs will offer anywhere from $20-$50 gas cards when you sign up for a free trial membership with them. A word of caution: make sure that you cancel your membership before the trial period ends, otherwise you may be stuck with a bill you don't want. And if your gas card hasn't showed up before the trial period ends, chances are good you may not get yours. Also make sure you keep the name of the club, the date you signed up, the date the trial ends, and any passwords you may have used for the website somewhere you'll be able to find it. That way you've got an easy record of the things you've signed up for, and the memberships you may want to cancel later.

Step7
GROCERY CARDS: Companies like Kroger, Harmons, and Albertsons offer rewards for shopping with them not only in groceries, but gas. These companies offer varying rewards. From 30 cents off per gallon at their pumps to earning points from purchasing groceries to go towards free gas cards, these companies will try to get you buying from them, and then reward you for it. Check out these offers. Some may not be as great as they sound, but every little bit helps. If you are a Costco or Sam's Club card holder, they offer deeply discounted gas for holding their membership cards.
Step8
GAS CREDIT CARDS: These cards boast incentive offers like cash back, credits on your account with purchases, and points towards free gas. A website like freegasvouchers.com offers $10 cash back and up to $100 on your gas card when you enter your gas card number with them. Beware! The points may not be that great, and your interest rate might not be with these cards either. As always, make sure you pay them off at the end of each month. And look at each cards terms and conditions carefully before applying or accepting their offer.

Tips & Warnings

  • As with anything, look at each offer carefully before signing up. It is the sole responsiblity, of you the consumer to check out any offers thoroughly before signing up.
  • Beware of scams! Many articles from MSNBC, Consumer Reports, and more are cautioning that this summer many free gas card, free gas voucher, and other offers for free gas will be popping up anywhere from your email inbox to your home mailers. Use caution with any offer that may come your way.
