MyGallons.com Save You Money On Gasoline Purchase

There’s no doubt about that, gasoliune prices went crazy over the past 6 months, making us think more seriously to bicycles, roller blades, or even public transportation.

However, some of us are too used to get in the car for even the smallest things we have to do, from shopping, to visiting friends.

How To Save Money With MyGallons.com:

  1. Join MyGallons, and get your MyGallons Card.
  2. Pre-purchase gas and lock in the price at the purchasing date.
  3. Use your MyGallons Card at the pump instead of paying for the gasoline on the spot and save money.

This is an example of savings you can make if you use pre-paid gasoline cards:

  • Buy 100 gallons of fuel when your MyGallons price is $3.50 per gallon.
  • Redeem them at the pump when prices rise to $4.00 per gallon.
  • Savings: $.50 per gallon. It may not seem much, but it is a possibility for people who spend a lot on gas each month.

Joining MyGallons.com is not free, you’ll have to pay an annual membership fee of $29.95. If you don’t save money over the first year, on at least one redemption, you’ll get 100% reimbursed your membership fees.

For me, this seems a bit crazy, as I’m not driving too much, but for other people it may be an opportunity to save some money.

7 Tips For Online Shopping

One of the most convenient ways of shopping is to visit online malls and stores. However, there are some tips you need to know, in order to avoid scams:

  1. If prices are extremely low, don’t buy. No merchant makes gifts.
  2. If you cannot find anything about the online shop on other sites (like forums or blogs), don’t buy.
  3. If the website looks OK, and you find good testimonials from other buyers, search for coupons. You may get some additional discounts
  4. Look for the money back guarantee and check the conditions in which this becomes void. There was a case in which the merchant promised to refund unhappy customers, provided that they return the products not opened.
  5. Read the contract. Sometimes you may get fooled into subscribing to some monthly services, and your card will be automatically billed each month unless you cancel your subscription.
  6. If you buy from an international store, or from a catalogue shopping site, try to seek for the location which is closest to your place. You may have to pay less for shipping and handling, or you may even get free delivery.
  7. Always compare. Don’t buy from the first online store that comes your way.

Happy online shopping!
