TCS Fuel

Don’t get this card. There are far better ones. If you already have it then you are paying too much for fuel. If you think you can’t get your own fuel card, I’m here to say you can and with far better discounts than literally All mega carriers.

I've been utilizing this company's services for about two years now, going on three, so I've become pretty familiar with how things work and have set a baseline of minimum expectations for any service you're paying to use. In previous years before our current fuel crisis, it was a somewhat reliable tool for finding discounts—a lot of times their prices were way off compared to competitors like Mudflap, which offers $0.50–$0.60 cheaper—but in some areas, they were the better deal. However, my most recent experiences over the last 4–5 months of working with them have led me to end my relationship with this company. Anyone using the platform understands the disclaimer about the fuel finder tool to some degree. To give you a clear picture of how that disclaimer plays out in practice—this comes straight from their staff—fuel stops shown in the app can change prices as often as every 15 minutes. In the past month alone, I've been charged much more than expected multiple times when relying on their discounts. ## Key Problems Their advice? Call the gas station and ask the cashier—who knows nothing about setting fuel prices—to confirm the TCS discount. In reality, the price you see in the app will almost never be accurate during this fuel price crisis. I thought, "Okay, let me check again," drove 25 minutes to a supposedly cheaper station, and arrived to find they'd just hiked the price by $0.35. ## Main Issue My biggest frustration with this company is that they can't guarantee the price, the fuel station can't either, and the app is unreliable.
