- [R3] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Issue: It wouldn’t let me select a pump then it said try again in 24 hours I went in to talk to the clerk and he said he didn’t know what to do with the QR code, I selected another pump on the way out of the gas station and it worked I came and then put gas in otherwise it worked.
- [R6] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ constant issues: constant issues with gasing up, just tried using my rewards and it didn't work, had to cancel transaction said i couldn't use the app for another 24 hours... lost my reward. Jeez.
- [R15] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Average app: This app works sometimes other times not so much. Frustrating when trying to pay and repeated failures occur.
- [R26] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ App glitches constantly: This app seems to glitch every time I try to use it. I will activate a pump and then nothing happens between the gas pump and the app, but it’ll still take my reward points which then when I do reset the app and re-authorize the pump I can no longer access.
- [R7] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Don’t work: The app doesn’t work. It’s best to register inside the store and add up points inside cause you can never log into the app. There’s always a system failure. Please don’t waste your time. I’ve had this app for over 10 yrs and everyday I have to resign in which I’m never able to sign in. The points add up quickly but not through this app. #delete
- [R10] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ App does not work: I've tried enrolling three times and keep getting an error message. Just trying to get cash back on buying gas. 3% isn't worth the hassle.
- [R13] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Problem: Will not let me create an account
- [R16] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ App sign in sucks: The app logged me out and when I try to sign in it sends me the code literally days later and the code is invalid by then. So I basically can’t sign in to use my rewards.
- [R1] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Asking for a code: Tried to reedem my rewards at the pump, it ask for a code to reedem. Theres no mention of nay code or instructions to reedem rewards. Makes it useless to reedem rewards.
- [R9] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Not satisfied: Rewards are not automatic
- [R12] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Ugh: I used my rewards once and can’t seem to use it again. I have to painstakingly type in the rewards number only to be told I need a pin which I don’t have. The cashiers at the gas stations are clueless.
- [R50] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Never minds my store!!!: I can never use my rewards bc the app always tells me I’m not at the Exxon station. But I am. So frustrating!!
- [R4] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Too expensive: I didn’t even get any of the deals for the $.20 off per gallon or the five dollars off the first fill up
- [R36] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Disappointed: I didn’t receive the gas price reduction, the sign says $2.82 for members. I joined. Paid through my app and it still didn’t give me the member price.
- [R40] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Disappointed: Went through all the steps of signing in and using Apple Pay. Expected to get some kind of discount because I’m using the app. Did not get discount I will probably switch to a different chain of gas stations.
- [R42] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Paid more: Using the app I paid credit price instead when I use my Apple Pay I pay debit price and I use my Apple Pay and the app and it still charged me the credit price 404 as opposed to 399
- [R39] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Good app but: Good app for earning points and issuing em to knock your bill down is great but one thing that bugs me is it does not tell you the price for fuel the other apps do why can’t this one bums me out
- [R51] Fuel Rewards® program Contact member support?: Absolutely how exactly, is member support located at the better business bureau? Because the website for fuel rewards is user unfriendly! And for that I rate it a negative -5 stars actually make it -10 stars
- [R52] Fuel Rewards® program Confusing: Very confusing with offers
- [R53] Fuel Rewards® program App is being phased out: I guess the app is finally being phased out. It suddenly kicked me out and I couldn’t get back in. I will say I do remember getting emails stating to download the Shell App but the email didn’t have instructions on what to do since the app is being phased out. I will also say I didn’t like how the app always tried to force me to use my location when applying my discount re
- [R54] Fuel Rewards® program Unable to access: I keep getting an error message when trying to sign in. I know I’m putting in the right email address and password.
- [R65] Upside Not worth the time!: Absolutely went to use it once. At supposedly a business that honored the cash back. And couldn’t get a receipt from the business with all the information Upside needed to give me cash back. The time I spent running into the store to get a correction on my receipt. And uploading it. It cost me more in my time than the few cents they would have got me back. I will save my time
- [R66] Upside Saving Money: Easy to use easy saving! And every dollar counts!
- [R67] Upside Gas and food cash back: I’m 70 and really have no idea on how to use these apps. Have no idea what to do.
- [R68] Upside Cool idea but doesn’t work: I filled up a couple times using this app and I can only say I regret it every time I try to verify a purchase it would take over a week and then would say it needs review except the only review you can do is change the payment method you use, which doesn’t help when you can only use a single payment method. On top of that there is no live support and you’re stuck talki
- [R79] Murphy Drive Rewards ABSOLUTE TRASH: UNABLE TO LOG IN…
- [R80] Murphy Drive Rewards Scam: Wont let you sign up or login. Have tried multiple times. Everyday the store associate says I have tons of points available and to use them but can’t without the app….. that doesn’t work. Waste of time
- [R81] Murphy Drive Rewards Good for things and maybe a waste: Ive used the murphy app and rewards for years. I like that it keeps working and you can rev up to get points every week to get a free pop or cents off gas. However, these sweepstakes they do from time to time may just be a way for someone to waste their points. Ive not heard of anyone ever actually winning and I definitely haven't won anything so maybe just use y
- [R82] Murphy Drive Rewards Issues: I’ve been having issues with the app for a few months now about turning off the vpn on my phone and then try to reload the app back up on my phone. Still not working.
- [R93] GasBuddy Junk: Don’t waste your time!! It is a huge Fluke! The spin wheel only ever lands on 10 and when you accumulate points you can only use a very small portion because they have nothing else you can use points for! And my bank verification has been getting verified for over a few months already!! What a Joke!!
- [R94] GasBuddy Please Add Recreational Gasoline: Great app! The addition of recreational gasoline as a type of fuel would be super helpful!!
- [R95] GasBuddy Spin Rewards: Multiple times when I spin the wheel for rewards, I am credited less than what the wheel says I have won. Does this happen to anyone else?
- [R96] GasBuddy Too many pop-ups when you just wanna report prices.: Too many pop-ups when you just wanna report prices.
- [R107] 7-Eleven Chat bot is useless: Got the wrong order and tried to get a replacement. It was like jump jumping through hoops and got to nobody. I waited more than an hour and still got to nothing. Even tried to get a hold of representatives. Nothing. Terrible design of an AI Chatbot.
- [R108] 7-Eleven Somedays/Employees: Somedays employees are helpful and courteous atSelect Stores. Other Stores and different days can seem like they love spending time on phone calls -pushing past prompts for rewards! Don’t feel the courtesy or RESPECT! just saying 98th and Mill Plain & Vancouver Mall Drive could use a BIG CHANGE:)
- [R109] 7-Eleven Lawndale store: I went to the 7 eleven store located on Prairie and Manhattan Beach Blvd. On 7/11 for our free small slurpee and the cashier man when I asked if he had the cups to get the slurpee told me to get out of his store and go away! He said nothing free today come back tomorrow and buy! I told him I can pay for it if that’s what you’re trying to say, but he rudely repeated to get out. Very
- [R110] 7-Eleven awful: when i tried to make an account it kept sending something to an email. I don’t and there’s no way for me to change it because it says account detected, but that’s not mine. and there was no skip button or anything so awful
- [R18] Exxon Mobil Rewards+ Mr Mark: The last few times I tried to use the app, it asked for a code. I asked the attendant and he said they don’t have a rewards program anymore so there is no code!
- [R70] Upside Meh: Sporadically inconsistent
- [R73] Upside Inconsistent: I want to give this 1 star so bad but that wouldn’t be fair. It has worked about 35% of the time for me but now every transaction seems to “need review” same debit card everytime and I even started uploading the receipts and some how they “can’t find the transaction” as I stated before same exact debit card I always use same process and even send receipts but somehow transactions can
- [R77] Upside Total scam: Tried uploading multiple times over the last 2 months using both card and receipt method and have received nothing. Their “help” is completely automated and you cannot get a person. The bot wont make a support ticket without reuploading the receipts that you took pictures of in the app, so they should have but I no longer have because I don’t keep for weeks after…
- [R99] GasBuddy Don’t trust the prices: Have fun driving 25 minutes for a gas price that’s 30¢ more expensive than listed. People frequently list incorrect prices and there is no system to report users for it.
- [R102] GasBuddy Daily spin is stolen if above 20 points: Was liking the app a bit even though prices are often not accurate because it depends on users to update price changes. That’s the premise so you just have to deal with incorrect pricing and correct them. One star is because literally every single time I play the daily spin game it and it’s more than 20 points, it has NEVER given the points over three weeks
- [R106] GasBuddy Prices/grades: The prices aren’t always accurate, and “ethanol free gas” is not an option.
