Jeff Bezos just might help you cry a little less at the pump.
Amazon Prime members can now score up to 20 cents off per gallon of gas — but there’s a catch: you’ll have to time your fill-up just right.
The retail giant is doubling its usual 10-cent discount for a limited time, offering Prime users a juicy 20-cent-per-gallon deal on one fuel purchase every Friday, from April 3 through May 29.
Not exactly “fill up whenever,” but hey — beggars can’t be choosers when gas prices are doing their usual rollercoaster routine.
To cash in, drivers need to activate the offer through Amazon’s fuel savings page and link a free Earnify account, as per CNBC.
From there, it’s as simple as pulling up to the pump at participating stations and entering your phone number or paying with your linked card.
The deal is only valid at roughly 7,500 locations nationwide — including bp, Amoco, ampm and Thorntons stations — so you may need to go slightly out of your way to reap the rewards.
Still, for regular commuters or road-trippers, those dimes can add up fast.
And if you’re living with another adult, there’s a little loophole: Prime members can share the perk with one household member, meaning you could technically double dip and save up to 40 cents per gallon collectively each Friday.
Now that’s what you call a power couple.
For the truly deal-obsessed, pairing your Prime membership with the Prime Visa card could sweeten the pot even more, with 2% cash back on gas purchases — on top of the per-gallon discount.
Of course, if your nearest participating station is miles away — or you’re just not that into Amazon — other credit cards may offer simpler, no-strings-attached gas rewards.
But if you’re already deep in the Prime ecosystem, this is one perk worth circling back for — at least until the clock runs out.
Because in this economy, even a few cents off per gallon feels like striking oil.
As previously reported by The Post, drivers are getting creative to dodge sky-high prices — even fueling up at casinos, where the only thing riskier than the slots might be your gas budget.
Out west, some California casinos are dangling fuel perks through rewards programs, letting loyal players cash in points for discounts at the pump.
It’s a tempting gamble in a state where gas is flirting with $6 a gallon — the priciest in the nation.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is a mixed bag.
In Texas, drivers are paying closer to the mid-$3 range, while Oregon and Nevada aren’t far behind California, hovering near $5.
Back on the East Coast, prices are creeping up but haven’t quite hit panic mode.
In New York and New Jersey, a gallon is still under $4 — for now — though the Empire State has seen a sharp jump in recent weeks, climbing from around $3 to nearly $4.
That’s the first time prices have brushed that level since 2022, when gas briefly blew past $5 following global turmoil sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Now, fresh geopolitical tensions — including disruptions in key oil routes — are once again squeezing supply and nudging prices higher.
Translation: whether it’s Prime perks or casino comps, drivers are hunting for savings anywhere they can get them.
