‘Holy Cow:’ Woman Goes to Pump Gas. Then She Saves $1/Gallon With Amazon Prime
"In California, I paid $4.89 yesterday."
A woman recently shared details of an Amazon Prime partnership with BP that allows members to save $1/gallon of gas at BP, Amoco, and AMPM gas stations.
TikTok user Lady K (@theycallmeladyk) walked her followers through the deal in a video posted on July 3.
“Alright, here we go,” she says. “We’re gonna hit rewards. And then loyalty number. Put your phone number in. You have your account linked with Prime.”
The pump goes from showing a price of $2.83 per gallon to $1.83 per gallon. “Wow. Holy cow. That’s crazy,” Lady K says.
A Reminder While She’s Filling Up
“As a reminder, while I’m filling up, if you haven’t seen my previous videos. July 3-6, Prime members can save at BP, AMPM, and Amoco gas stations. A dollar off a gallon of gas up to 35 gallons,” Lady K says.
“To begin Prime Day,” she says. “So make sure you sign up. Use the Earnify app, which is BP’s app, and link those.”
She then shows a photo of her final transaction. She paid $25 for 13.6 gallons of gas.
In the caption, she writes, “This is crazy. Amazon Prime members! Link those accounts and goooo!!”
Prime Fuel Savings Deal
This Fuel Savings Offer for $1 off per gallon of gas is an early Prime Day deal that ends on July 6. But if you miss the deal, don’t fret.
Prime members can always save a total of $.10 per gallon at BP, Amoco, and participating AMPM gas stations. With the Earnify app, which is BP’s rewards program, members can save an additional $.5. As the TikToker said, you enter your phone number or activate the Earnify app at the pump to get the discount.
Of course, as several commenters pointed out, there is some fine print to be aware of here. It's important to note this is a one-time offer, the savings calculation is based on the average light-duty economy car, and you'll lose access if you cancel your Prime membership.
Gas Price Blues
In the comments section, some viewers expressed shock at the relatively low cost of gas in Lady K’s area.
“The fact that your gas is under $3 to begin with,” wrote one driver. A second user agreed, “Meanwhile, in California, I paid $4.89 a gallon yesterday.”
A fellow Amazon Prime member offered a bit of advice. “It’s only one time, so bring all of your cars so you can use the gallon max. My wife and I bring both our cars and fill up both when I have discounts on gas,” they wrote.
In a direct message to Motor1, Lady K said she is overwhelmed, surprised, and thrilled by the response to her video, which has over 1 million views as of this writing.
“I had been sharing about their fuel program since May,” she said. “In June, they were offering $.20 off gas on Fridays and every little bit helps. I had just learned that this was an option … and just wanted to share it with others for awareness.”
She continued, “When I went on the 3rd to get gas, I assumed the gas station would be busy. I pulled in and it was just my car filling up. That’s when I realized people just don’t know about it and I wanted that to change.”
“I’m happy if one extra person benefited off of getting that discount from the video. Every time someone mentions that they got the deal it makes my day, because that’s what I wanted—to help people.”
Motor1 reached out to Amazon and BP via email for comment. We'll be sure to update this if either responds.
