Please note that the Boyd/Rebel gas discount ended the end of April after a
long run of at least a couple years. Oh, well. Nice while it lasted. Wish
they would inform me when a promotion is discontinued!

That's too bad. I used this quite a bit and would choose a conveniently located Rebel over other gas stations for the discount. Now, I guess I won't make the effort.

How did you find out it ended?

I can confirm this - I tried using my Boyd card yesterday at a Rebel, and after swiping it the screen says "No Bonus" or "No Discount".

I checked inside - one employee told me he hadn't heard anything, but he asked the other staffer who confirmed that the promo is over.

Am I right that you couldn’t get two 5-cent discounts – the Boyd one and the one for cash (rather than credit card)? We use the cash one now although it isn’t pure “profit” since we could use a credit card and get 2% cashback.

No, you could always get both discounts. After you paid cash, then insert your card at the pump and the pump would go down another nickel. Btw, Boyd tells me it was Rebel that cancelled the promo on them without much notice.

I kept my tank full of Rebel gas from 2002-5 when I frequented
Terribles. Those were the days . . .

I'm looking at one of those "cheap gas" websites right now, and it looks like most of the Rebel stations were beaten by at least a dime anyway. For instance, today, at vegasgaspricesdotcom, it shows several Rebels at $3.89, but several ARCOs at $3.73. The best one for today is Sinclair, 9010 W.Flamingo, at $3.63.

I filled up last night for $4.25, but I'm in California.
