Customers at one convenience-store chain can save money by paying with cryptocurrency. Sheetz, in partnership with Flexa, has launched a “crypto crave and save” promotion.
From 3 to 7 p.m. every day through Aug. 31, customers can get 50% off their purchase when they pay with crypto. This only applies to up to $15 per payment, according to terms on Flexa’s website, and excludes gas, gift cards and alcohol.
Sheetz expanded its partnership with digital payments provider Flexa in fall 2024, enabling customers to use their digital currencies for in-store purchases. Flexa can also be used with Sheetz’s My Sheetz Rewardz loyalty program.
- Sheetz is No. 13 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by store count.
To get the half-off promotion, customers must download a Flexa-enabled app like SPEDN, Zashi, Nighthawk Wallet or Nexus Wallet. There, they can spend their cryptocurrency, like bitcoin, ether, litecoin, USDC and more, when they pay in-store at Sheetz, Flexa said.
When customers are ready to spend their crypto at Sheetz, they open their Flexa-enabled app, tap “Sheetz” and show their flexcode at the register.
President Donald Trump has promised to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world,” emphasizing the need to embrace digital assets to drive economic growth and technological leadership, according to a March news release from The White House. In his first weeks in office, he signed an executive order to promote U.S. leadership in digital assets, such as cryptocurrency.
Founded in 1952, New York-based Flexa offers merchants and developers scalable integrations for accepting digital currency payments.
Sheetz, based in Altoona, Pennsylvania, has 770 convenience stores as of Jan. 1.
