Evidence note: SmartRewards has a significantly higher number of ratings and a much higher lifetime rating, indicating broad satisfaction.

  4. [R21] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Love the prices: Enjoy the app discounts and free drinks Thank you
  5. [R11] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Motorcycle Fueling!: The app is awesome. Don’t even have to get off the bike to fuel it. Convenient and easy!

  7. [R22] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Fast Fueling: Easy and fast
  8. [R27] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Easy to Use!: Such a great app! So convenient to use when fueling up!
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [R8] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Perfect: Works great as always
  12. [R30] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Discount on gas: Discount on gas was not provided- very irritating, -
  13. [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
  14. [R13] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Best App: Easy to sign up. Great savings at pump and in-store. Highly recommend.
  15. [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.
  16. [R6] SmartRewards 3/5 · US Great customer service: Great customer service thank you Pooh
  17. [R14] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Manager awesome: Craig is the best!!!
  18. [R18] SmartRewards 5/5 · US Gerry: Helpful. Polite and welcoming!
  19. [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!
  20. [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.
  21. [R70] Farm Town 1/5 · US Expensive: Game kept crashing and cost me 9 diamonds to cut 1 tree not realizing it was just crashing. After I refresh the app, the tree finally disappeared. You must pay to advance and tree have to be cut twice … not worth it.
  22. [R73] Farm Town 1/5 · US Don’t get this game: Don’t get this game unless you want to spend money. It’s not technically free. I loved this game at first. Can’t get enough storage unless I pay actual money. And all the diamonds I get to pay for extra storage goes into a piggy bank that you have to pay money for.
  23. [R78] Farm Town 3/5 · US Good, but be ready to spend....: It’s a VERY good game. One of my favorites out there but if you really want to keep your farm up & make it look good without a bunch of dead plants & trees, be ready to fork out some money. Don’t get me wrong....I know everybody has to make money but, I just think $8.00 a week to be able to do what you need to do? Come on! If it were $8.00 month, then it would defi
  24. [R85] Farm Town 1/5 · US Ability to water plants: I spent so much money on this game already, all the plants I bought keep dying after producing the harvest maybe twice and to water them is completely impossible, the feature is not available unless you purchase a membership and even though after you do you maybe able to water 1-2 plants to bring them to life. That is just crazy, and a rip off of my money. I have to keep b
  25. [R62] Farm Town 4/5 · US Crashes: Cool game put everything I try to buy and ova the puff pen it freezes and I have to force close the app and do my last few actions over again. Annoying. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled. Same problem. Lmk when it’s fixed I’ll play again.
