How to Redeem Free Gas Certificate
Some businesses offer time-bound free gas certificates as an incentive promotion to aid their product sales, gain business and reward loyal customers. Fuel is a very necessary and expensive commodity and very few people can afford to turn down an offer of free gas. These gas certificates come with redemption codes, which enable you to redeem the gas for the value indicated. To redeem a gas certificate, you must buy the same brand of gas regularly from an authorized gas station. These gas redemption certificates work as not only as promotional aids for businesses, but also as loyalty programs for gas stations.

Tips & Warnings
Keep printouts of the following with you: your gas certificate (if you got it via e-mail), your account details on the promotion company's website, and your gas vouchers.
Make sure all your family members use the same fuel brand from the same gas station so as to be eligible for your monthly free gas redemption.
To redeem a certificate for $500, you will have to purchase gas for $100 every month, and be rewarded with a $25 gas redemption card. At $25 a month, it will take you 20 months to redeem the total value of a $500 free gas certificate. You have to stick to the minimum fuel purchase per month to avail the monthly redemption.
Retain copies of your fuel purchase receipts; this will come in useful in the case the gas company hasn't received your originals or chooses not to honor its side of the bargain for some reason.
All gas certificates are valid till a certain date, before which they must be completely redeemed. Ensure that you stay aware of this validity.
Check with the promotion company if you'd still be eligible for the monthly free gas redemption values if you don't buy fuel for the stipulated amount every month.
