Speedway SuperAmerica offering loyalty card program

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio --Early last fall, Speedway SuperAmerica LLC soft launched its Speedy Rewards loyalty card program at all Speedway & SuperAmerica stations. Customers who sign up for the program earn points toward free merchandise by making gasoline and select in-store purchases.

We were low profiling it, company spokesperson Linda Casey told CSP Daily News. We started the program a little at a time last fall, and it is fully implemented now. The under-the-radar launch offered a competitive advantage, she added.

Customers [image-nocss] receive 10 points per dollar spent, excluding restricted items such as tobacco, alcohol, lottery, money orders, gift cards, fuel cards and in-store restaurant purchases. Customers can also win bonus Gold Star Bonus Points. Speedway SuperAmerica is currently offering a 500-point enrollment bonus, according to its website, www.speedway.com.

Points can be redeemed instantly using the Speedy Rewards terminal in the store. Customers scan the membership card at the terminal and touch the Redeem Points button. They select a reward, and the terminal prints a coupon for it.
