Amazon partners with BP to offer gas discount for Prime members
Amazon is giving Prime members a new perk: a discount at the pump.
Prime members can now save $0.10 per gallon at approximately 7,000 Amoco, BP and AM/PM gas stations across the United States. Amazon estimates the offer could save Prime members on average almost $70 a year on their gas bills.
In addition, in 2025, Amazon plans to add an electric vehicle charging savings offer with BP's electric vehicle charging business, BP Pulse, with more details to be revealed next year.
"With free shipping on more than 300 million items, free access to remarkable video, sports and music content, free food delivery and substantial savings on grocery delivery and medications, Prime is an incredible value for members," said Jamil Ghani, VP of Amazon Prime. "We’re constantly looking to add more value for Prime members and perhaps the broadest and most popular additional benefit we could offer is fuel savings — we’re excited to give this to Prime members."
Prime members can activate the new fuel offer by visiting amazon.com/fuel savings. (Members must first enroll in Earnify, a loyalty program used by BP and other BP-owned stations and convenience stores.) Activating the offer will connect a Prime member’s Amazon account and Earnify account.
Members can then use the free Earnify app store locator to find the nearest BP, Amoco, or AM/PM gas station and begin redeeming at the pump by inputting their phone number or linked payment method. Alternately, members can redeem at the pump with the free Earnify app by selecting their gas station and pump they are using.
Other partnerships Amazon has entered to expand the benefits of Prime membership include an integration with food delivery platform Grubhub. Through the partnership, Prime members have access to a free ongoing Grubhub+ membership worth $120 per year, as well as the ongoing "Tune In & Takeout" series in which Grubhub provides food pairings and offers that connect to shows and movies on Prime Video.
