Amazon Prime Members: A Little‑Known Gas Perk Can Save You $0.20 Per Gallon This Spring
As gas prices climb across the U.S. amid ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, many drivers are looking for quick ways to cut costs at the pump. The national average price for a gallon of gas rose to $4.119 as of April 6, up sharply from $3.320 just one month earlier, according to AAA.
If you’re feeling the squeeze, there’s a fuel discount you may already qualify for and not even realize it. Amazon Prime members have access to a built‑in gas‑saving perk that can reduce fuel costs throughout the year — and the company just announced even bigger savings available on Fridays this spring.
Here's how Prime members can save the next time they fill up their tanks.

How Amazon Prime Members Can Save on Gas
Amazon Prime’s fuel benefit is available through a partnership with bp’s earnify rewards program, and activation takes just a few minutes.
To get started, Prime members can visit amazon.com/fuelsavings and link their Amazon account to a free earnify account. Once connected, you can use the earnify app to locate participating gas stations near you.
At the pump, the discount is applied by entering your linked phone number or using the earnify app at more than 7,500 participating bp, Amoco, and select ampm and Thorntons locations across the U.S.
After activation, Prime members automatically receive $0.10 off per gallon year round, with no minimum purchase required. Based on typical driving habits, Amazon estimates that the discount can add up to about $70 in annual savings.
How Prime Members Can Save $0.20 Per Gallon on Fridays This Spring
For a limited time, Amazon is doubling that fuel discount.
Through its Fuel‑Up Fridays promotion, Prime members can save $0.20 per gallon on one fuel purchase every Friday at participating stations. The offer runs now through May 29, making it especially useful for commuters and spring road‑trip season.
The promotion stacks on top of the standard Prime fuel benefit, meaning members don’t need to take any extra steps beyond activating their earnify account. Once set up, the savings are applied automatically when you fill up on Fridays.
More Ways To Save on Gas
Utilizing this Prime perk is a smart way to save at the pump, especially if you're already a member. With gas prices squeezing household budgets, you may want to stack this discount with other ways to save:
Avoid paying for premium gas if possible. Check what octane your vehicle actually requires, and opt for the lowest one for significant savings.
Compare gas prices before filling up. Even the same gas chain will have different prices depending on the location. Compare prices at nearby bp and Amoco stations to make the Prime discount go even further.
With prices remaining volatile, every cent at the pump counts.
