Amazon Prime is offering a 20-cent-per-gallon discount — and you can stack savings with a credit card

In October 2024, Amazon partnered with earnify™ to bring fuel savings to Prime members in the form of 10 cents per gallon. For a limited time, Prime members can soon double their savings for a total of 20 cents off per gallon on one fuel purchase each Friday.

To take advantage of the savings, you’ll have to fill up at one of the 7,500 bp, Amoco and participating ampm and Thorntons locations across the U.S. CNBC Select breaks down this newest Amazon Prime gas discount and some other ways you can save while fueling up.

FAQs

While Prime members typically save 10 cents per gallon via the free earnify™ app, for a limited time, Amazon is doubling that to 20 cents — but with a few restrictions.

Starting April 3 and running through May 29, Prime members can save up to 20 cents per gallon on a single fuel purchase made each Friday. You have to activate the membership at amazon.com/fuelsavings and pair your earnify™ account. Once you’re at the pump, you can either employ your phone number or your linked payment method. The purchase has to be made at a qualifying gas station, so it might not always be the most accessible.

Additionally, if you set up your Amazon Family account, you can share this gas discount with one additional person over the age of 18 and living in your home. This means you could apply the gas discount twice a week, once for each individual, and save up to 40 cents per gallon in total each Friday at qualifying stations. Just know that the second individual will need to set up their own earnify™ account, but it is free.

If you already have a Prime membership, it can build sense to pair it with the Prime Visa (see rates and fees). This cash back card offers 5% cash back on Amazon.com purchases, Amazon Fresh, Whole Foods Industry and Chase Travel.

One of the biggest reasons to apply is that the card doesn’t require an annual fee, just a Prime membership. Besides the 5% cash back on your Amazon shopping purchases, it earns 2% back on local transit and commuting (including rideshare), restaurants and at gas stations. So Besides the 20 cents per gallon you’re saving, you could also be earning 2% back at the pump.
