The other thread got me thinking on this. How many points do you have on your payback cards from pilot/ta/flying j/loves/petro ? And what do you use them for or are saving up to get ?

My pilot card sits at 5569 points right now and i even have a shower left over.

My T/A has 5370 on it with 2 showers left over.

That's the only two i use mostly. I am saving up to get the new 2008 laminated map book. they are 59$ and some change.

2008 Laminated Truckers Atlas was $29.99 a few weeks ago at the Pilot in Temple, GA. That is where I got mine

I have no idea what I have on my Flying J frequent fueler card. I never check it, but the only thing I use it for is their high speed internet when I am going to be sitting at the truck stop for quite a while. 24 hours is $4.95, and the $5.00 coupons are perfect for that.

Ok, now that I am at a company that fuels at several different truck stop chains, I now possess multiple cards, and I tell you, IT SUCKS!

Loves showers expire after 5 days. I have ran into this situation the hard way twice now by going into one of their stops only to find out I don't have any showers on my card because my last 2-3 fill ups were at Pilots. I am finding this to be a royal pain in the butt because I never seem to be planning my stop for the day at a truckstop where I have a shower on my card.

As for how many points I have, I don't have a clue, LOL. I never seem to be in a Pilot or a Loves long enough to find out. Generally, I don't even go inside since we don't get receipts. Just pay at the pump and go.

I might use those pesky cards once in a while and mainly just to get through the fuel pump menu.
I liked the old way better with the paper receipts where a shower had a time limit yet one could also give shower coupons say to someone that REALLY NEEDS ONE unlike now where one cannot.
The Cash prices of showers aren't worth the price because ALL facilities have no concern in the maintenance and cleaning of said showers.

I don't use the points for much of anything except the occasional Wendys trip or some Milk, juices and whatever else is available or covered.

Since Peelots, Luves, have no sit down REAL restaurants, these places ain't worth going into except for the occasional misery of Fueling to get receipts, when there's no other choice nearby for Fueling.

If it were possible to transfer Points to other People, I would GLADLY give you mine from ALL the cards I use.
