When the GB forums were shut down, I had over 6 million points, none of which I had used to enter the gas drawings. After the shut down, I started to "cash in" my points in the drawings, first 50 or 60 at a time, eventually going down to 5 at a time. At that point, about 2 years ago, I won the drawing and got 4 $25 name brand (Marathon, in my case) gas cards.
When I have browsed the winners list, I have seen both new GB winners and longtime GB winners. I do think it's the luck of the draw.
(Meanwhile, I'm hoping for a second win, 5 entries at a time).

Well it has been 4 years to the day that they pulled the plug on the forums.
I now only visit the old shell of a site to click one of the stale news items for points.
I think everyone has an equal chance at the gas cards EXCEPT for the fact that new users get automatically entered into a gascard draw when they sign up.
New members also automatically get a random generated name like Buddy_?#?#?#? when they sign up, and it's a little tricky to change it, so lots of newbies just leave it...

My My...
I wonder what users have made the biggest gains on the All-Time Leaderboard over the past 4 years!
I'd name GB UserNames but it would probably be reported & then taken down as being accusatory of "something"
Interesting that someone on this page does NOT have a GB User profile...why is that??? Are you NOT able to enter drawings??

PD posts daily 'news' articles on the GB site.
All of the GB articles are about the States.
I log on to post prices and to get the points, then enter for a SLIM chance at the $100 daily prize.
Up here in B.C. the 'Pay With GasBuddy' does not exist.
With gas prices as they are, with no competitive prices unless one lives near a Costco, which I don't...
the BCAA has an option of saving 3 cents per litre if a member fills up at a Shell gas station.
Since Shell also gives Air Miles for purchases, when I need gas, I go to Shell.
Even so, $100 Canadian dollar relates to not even one full gas tank in my 2012 GMC Terrain...

Good Morning Pigeon007 Yes, I still go to GB for points. 4386 consec. days Last year I won the $100 - gobsmacked but being in Canada, had to answer a math skill testing question. Pretty neat. Petro Can has joined in with the Canadian Tire Card. May get 5 cents off but haven't tried it yet. Our gas prices are almost $2,00 Cdn lit. and are set to go up due to Carbon Tax on the 1st April. Cruel.  Happy Easter Pigeon007 |
