Thousands of people was glad to get that $.08 Discount for a lot of years

I'm dropping my Bad Sam membership. They're crazy.

True - Until we realized that PFJ was willing to negotiate a lot more than $0.08/gallon.

Now that we all are fully aware of what's possible, I don't think it's out of line to ask for GS to either do better for us or kindly step out of the way.

It's my belief that if they know they'll lose customers/revenue in the end, something else will be worked out.

I'd be happy to give you more details and help you get signed up. I've been using it for close to 8 months now, and already saved a BUNDLE on fuel. PM me and we can go from there.

How do I sign up for TSD? Thank you

So you're saying that all RV’s are affected?
What if someone isn't a member of GS?
How can GS tell a business who they can sell fuel to at any price they want or to any fleet members they have?
GS doesn't have access to my bank statement and I hope P/FJ doesn't provide info to anyone on who or what vehicle uses the truck lane to fuel!

Im no attorney but I don't think thats even legal.

The only thing I have gotten from GS is not a benefit... I get tons of mail and email.

Let me see if I understand the OP. P/FJ no longer takes TSD card discounts but the OP wants to call and complain to Good Sam???? Seems to me he ought to complain to either P/FJ or TSD. Seems silly to try and blame GS. P/FJ and TSD are separate and individual company's and have every right to determine who and how much discounts they want to allow.

Key missing comment is that P/FJ killed the TSD at the behest of GS.

Yelling at GS over this is completely warranted.

I find it funny that this community is full of Goodsam haters that are upset when a program GS has is taken away.

If i don't like a company i don't do any business with. It seems that for some GS is the devil exempt when it comes to a fuel discount.

Have i missed something??

I didn’t much care for GS before and now it’s moved on to full out loathing. Their decision takes away the discount I use for work— my fuel, $8k last year, comes out of my pocket. Saving money on diesel is a big deal for me.

I would still patronize them without the 5 cent/gallon discount on gas just for the full service they offer.

I felt the same way when we had our gasser.
I dont think I would feel the same if PFJ gas was $0.40-$0.50/ gal higher than other stations.

I dont. If you had a contract like GS apparently did, wouldnt you want it enforced?

Nope, didn't happen. If you don't believe me call Joy Hanson, CFO, TSD Logistics - 800.426.7110.

Well they’ve changed their story for some reason and I’m sticking with simplest explanation is the most likely which is GS killed it.

Otherwise P/FJ would have stuck with the deal they’d already negotiated.

TSD has not changed their story. Here it is:

Joy Hanson,CFO, at TSD has stated they negotiated the improved discount program with Pilot in November with an individual (he is no longer there) who was not aware of their existing program with Good Sam.

Once Pilot became aware of the TSD program they pulled it themselves because of the Good Sam contract. According to Joy, Pilot was not forced in anyway by Good Sam.

Bottom line, if you truly want the truth, call Joy.
