  6. [R27] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Easy to Use!: Such a great app! So convenient to use when fueling up!
  7. [R3] SmartRewards 3/5 · US Not-so-smart pay: Smart pay only works if pump number is less than 10. Very annoying. Cashier was on her phone the entire interaction when I went inside.
  8. [R7] SmartRewards 1/5 · US SmartRewards: I do not receive promotions like this July 2nd discount on my app. I pushed it and it goes to an open new app. I go to mine and it does not reflect any discounts. I hate this app. Useless
  9. [R8] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Perfect: Works great as always
  10. [R30] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Discount on gas: Discount on gas was not provided- very irritating, -
  11. [R13] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Best App: Easy to sign up. Great savings at pump and in-store. Highly recommend.
  12. [R23] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Awards: It’s easy to receive points and use them as needed, either in the store or today I used $8.00 off my gas!
  13. [R24] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Car and People fuel: The Smart Rewards app with Cumberland farms saves me money and convenience on fuel for my car and coffee for me. I also like the community of customers who, like me, are looking for a fair deal and quality energy.
  14. [R6] SmartRewards 3/5 · US Great customer service: Great customer service thank you Pooh
  15. [R14] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Manager awesome: Craig is the best!!!
  16. [R18] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Gerry: Helpful. Polite and welcoming!
  17. [R25] SmartRewards 4/5 · US Great service: Tyler behind the counter was tremendous. He was working two registers, cooking food, and keeping the morning rush moving. Great work!
  18. [R4] SmartRewards 2/5 · US Overall less value: The new rewards program isn’t all great. I don’t mind the cash rewards instead of free coffee rewards. What happened to the free birthday chocolate bar?? Also Cumberland funds the 10 cent discount by drastically driving up the cost of premium gas. If you buy the cheapest gas the 10 cents is a good deal but if you use premium then the 10 cents off pretty much brings the price
  19. [R48] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Easy to use: Great experience as always. That plus paying $3.86 premium instead of $4.06 makes a BIT of a difference when filling up.
  20. [R64] Wild West 2/5 · US Incentive to play too low: It takes way too much work to accumulate materials. The orders for trains, ships and wagons require too many long growing plants, long production wait times and too much variety of goods that use same production facilities. To get the town to progress in any way that’s feasible you have to spend actual money. I came over from Township when they got money hungry and now I
  21. [R66] Wild West 3/5 · US Too much waiting: I was loving this game, but a week into playing and the waiting has gotten ridiculous. I get they want you to spend real money, but not in this real world economy and I spending rent money to make my ship come back earlier than the THREE HOURS it normally takes. Harvests - an hour for sugarcane and 2 hours for tomatoes? Need 6 pegs to complete the shooting range, but the last 4 s
  22. [R72] Wild West 3/5 · US Granja: Need much moneyyy for this game🥹😟😕
  23. [R88] Wild West 1/5 · US Make it more friendly for everyone: It is very difficult to get ahead as I do not want to pay into the game to enjoy it . I just can not get to fill the train without emptying my barn every time . I gave it a long time to try it now I will delete it.
  24. [R70] Wild West 1/5 · US Another match 3 hellscape: You could have been great but you are sealing your fate with becoming another match 3 hellscape. So disappointing!
  25. [R76] Wild West 1/5 · US Why?????: People are coming here to get away from township, they like the nostalgia of a simpler time when you didn’t have to use $1,000 a month to pass match-3 levels. Well that’s in the past!! If you’re trying to get away from township don’t look here, literally an update last night to ADD MATCH 3!! On top of that I lost all my progress to the update. I will just stay with township where at leas
  26. [R79] Wild West 1/5 · US Latest update - Do not incorporate Match 3 please!: Match 3 is not needed in this game. It is the reason I left Township because they forced match 3 play in everything. We don’t want the garbage Township has turned into in Wild West. Please keep match 3 out! Otherwise you will likely lose players and $ from the golden pass. This update gets a 1 rating simply because of adding match 3.
  27. [R82] Wild West 2/5 · US The new update sucks: Adding match 3 was a stupid move on the developers part. Many of the players left township due to how match 3 obsessed it got. Stop trying to be candy crush!!
