If you've been watching gas prices creep up again, here's a deal that might make you smile. BJ's Wholesale Club is rolling out a limited-time promotion for new members: you pay just $15 for a year-long membership, and then you get $1 off every gallon of gas at BJ's Gas stations for the first 30 days. That's a pretty sweet perk, especially if you fill up regularly.
How the Gas Discount Works
Once you sign up and pay the $15 membership fee, you'll get a discount of $1 per gallon at any BJ's Gas station. It's active for 30 days starting from the day you enroll, but give it up to 48 hours to show up. Just swipe your membership card at the pump, and the savings apply automatically.
There are a few quirks you should know. The discount is applied per purchase, and any unused savings reset to zero after you finish fueling. So if you only pump a few gallons, you lose the leftover discount. Also, the price can't drop below 1 cent per gallon, so you're still paying something. And if there's a discrepancy between what you see online and the price at the pump, the station's price wins.
- Discount activates within 48 hours of purchase
- Valid for 30 consecutive days from enrollment
- Minimum price of 1¢ per gallon applies
- Unused discount forfeited after each fill-up
- MD and NJ have slightly different timing rules
Stacking Strategies for Extra Savings
This deal is already solid on its own, but you can squeeze even more value out of it. If you have a Citi credit card, check your offers – there's often a 5% back deal at BJ's. That could bring your effective cost down further. Also, consider going through a cashback portal like Cashback Monitor when you sign up. Some portals offer a few dollars back on membership purchases.
And if you're really into maximizing gas savings, don't forget about other overlapping deals. For example, OnePay gives $1 cashback per gallon every Wednesday (up to 50 gallons, two redemptions per day). And 7-Eleven/Speedway has a $0.50 off per gallon on the 7th and 11th of each month through July 2026. But those are separate from this BJ's offer – just good to keep in your back pocket.
- Check Citi Offers for 5% back at BJ's
- Use cashback portals when joining
- Combine with OnePay Wednesday deal for extra savings
- Don't forget 7-Eleven/Speedway monthly discount
What to Watch Out For
The biggest catch? Auto-renewal. BJ's will automatically renew your membership at the regular price ($60) after the first year unless you cancel. So set a reminder on your phone or mark your calendar. It's easy to forget, and $60 is a lot more than $15.
Another thing: the gas discount is only for new members. If you've been a member before, this likely won't work. And the discount is tied to your membership card – you can't share it or use it for someone else. Also, if you're in Maryland or New Jersey, the discount is applied after the sale but before payment, which might affect how it shows up on your receipt. Just keep an eye on the pump display.
- Auto-renewal is on by default – cancel before year end
- New members only; previous members may not qualify
- Discount is non-transferable
- State-specific rules in MD and NJ
Bottom Line
- For $15, you get a year of membership and a full month of $1/gal gas savings – potentially worth hundreds if you drive a lot.
- Combine with Citi offers and cashback portals to maximize value.
- Remember to cancel auto-renewal if you don't want to pay $60 next year.
Common Questions
How long after I join will the gas discount appear?
The discount becomes active within 48 hours of your membership purchase. If it doesn't show up after two days, contact BJ's customer service.
Can I use the discount on more than one vehicle?
Yes, the discount is tied to your membership card, not a specific car. You can use it on any vehicle you're fueling, as long as you swipe your card.
What happens if I don't use all the discount in one fill-up?
Any unused discount resets to zero after the purchase. So if you only pump a few gallons, you lose the potential savings for that visit. Plan to fill up your tank to maximize the benefit.
