This is an update on this club as and its shocking!! of 1/09.
I also did not get my monthly checks when I sent in the gas receipts on time and in accordance to their rules. I called my bank and they turned it over to their fraud dept. This is what they found out with help from other government people and I was shocked!!!
The owners of this club are Steve Lewis and Wayne Shapiro. The club is registered in NV ( red flag) and has an address of 8437 Tuttle Ave., Ste 327, Sarasota FL 34243. The clubs phone #'s are 914-284-8688 & 561-719-8736. The BBB (Better Business Bureau) of Fl has rated them a "D" and the complaints are still coming in. Check them out on the link below:

In the past 90 day period starting back in November 08 their two USA credit card processing companies "shut" them down and froze their money. The companies involved are Pay Pal (top USA Co.) and another CA merchant processing company. The fraud dept. also found out Pay Pal was mislead into the type of business Steve Lewis and Wayne Shapiro were running. Both the USA credit card processing companies have received so many complaints and charge backs from club members they had to freeze the clubs money to protect themselves and all the consumers. The company in CA stopped doing business with the club in January and had to keep the clubs money for 6 months to protect the comsumer..... Go USA Banks!!
This brings us to Feburary 2009. The head of the fraud department of my bank said to see if a company is good or bad ..."just follow the money". Steve Lewis and Wayne Shapiro is now running and processing all the members money through a merchant credit card processing company in "India" called Allie Wallet. They have had this set up for some time and our banking officials also told me there are laws in the USA that no USA bank can have a merchant cc processing company off shore and espically in India. When the money is processed in India it is then sent to England and deposited into a bank called B & S Card Services. The money is then sent back to the USA and deposited into a bank called RBC Bank. RBC Bank is out of Canada!!
Our banking officials also said no respected/approved USA cc merchant bank will do business with this club. My banking officials see so many red flags and it wont be long before the IRS and Home Land Security will be involved!!
I am a single Mom with 2 children and I was scammed. Please post your comments and concerns. Stop doing business with this club. It's a scam and so much more!!.

Well, first of all I only spent $39.95 for a $60 worth of gas card. I did this in Sept 2008. I got printed copies of what they call vouchers, with a number on each voucher. You can only submit 1 voucher per month for a $10 rebate. You must send in a receipt that you purchased gas anywhere ,but must be over $10 worth of gas. You send in the receipt and the voucher. My first voucher I sent in I got a money order for $10 back within days.
In October 2008 I sent in another voucher with my receipt and never got anything back. I sent them an email, which they stated to me that they had paid me $20 in Sept in the form of a check. I wrote back telling them I never got $20 let alone a check. I got a money order! for $10.
Never heard anything back after 4 emails. I tired calling and let messages on their voice mail. Have never gotten a call back.
In November 2008 I sent in another voucher and receipt and it is now December 2008 and have not gotten any money back. Still sending them emails, still leaving messages on their voice mail.
Looks like a scam to me!
It is called the Discount Gas Club as advertized in GasBuddy.com.
There is one out there called GasMaster, but do not know much about them.

The Discount Gas Club is a totally legit club. This club I believe has been taken over by new owners and has nothing to do with the old Discount Gas Club 10 years ago. I signed up and received all of the products I was supposed to receive. This club does not offer any type of card to save gas but rather gives you free tips on how to save gas and some products along with your purchase. I am a very happy customer.

What do you know about Discount Gas Club?
This is a scam. The person who asked the question then immediately answered it, posing as a neutral answerer, but giving a glowing review. That "club" and others are not going to let you buy gas for a dollar a gallon. If such were real, it would be nation wide news.
Did anyone enjoy the discount gas club?
That club is a scam. There is much evidence of this, but let me cite just one example. A "member" joined here, and asked "Did anyone enjoy the discount gas club?" That's right, the very question you are looking at. Then, posing as a neutral and unbiased answerer, he answered his own question with a glowing endorsement of this fraudulant scheme! I have removed that, and replaced it with this answer. There are no circumstances where you are going to be able to sign up with a company that legitimately will let you pay a dollar a gallon for gas. If there were any semblence of truth to it, it would have made nation wide news - instead, one only sees stories from those who were ripped of by these types of companies.
Gas Station Chains Vs. Discount Gas Stations?
One benefit of being a Sam�s Club or Costco member is having access to their gas stations. These gas stations are usually cheaper than major chains. The question is, is this gas a lower quality or are warehouse members getting a great deal? Discount gas stations, like those attached to Sam�s Club, offer high quality gas. These retailers are able to offer lower prices due to the large volume of gas they sell. Taking advantage of these gas stations is a great way to save money on your next tank of gas.

Is the Filler up club scam?
It's a scam. When you pay your money to them upfront, you will be introduced to Multi-Level Marketing. There is nothing I can tell you about MLM that you can't find out yourself by googling "Pyramid Scheme". You will not be paying 1/2 price for gas as claimed. You will be alienating family and friends by trying to trick them into this foolish scam. Even assuming you succeed at tricking them, it still won't work. And guess what? Your credit card is still being charged. Membership fees, add ons, upsells, extras, etc. A pity you aren't saving fifty percent on gas, it would have come in handy to help pay all the extras they sock you with.
How do you get safeway gas discount?
If you spend $35 or more in store, before taxes (including bottle levy and deposit) - with some exceptions to what you can purchase - you will receive a fuel discount credit to your safeway club card, which will save you 3.5c/litre. you can have more than one credit at a time, however the discount does not grow if you have more, you can only use one at a time, and they expire every 2.5-3 months. (this is the most current version as of July 2nd, 2011)
