Amazon Members Save $1/Gal on Gas This 4th of July Weekend
Amazon is offering a temporary fuel discount to Prime members just ahead of its annual Prime Day sales event. The promotion allows Prime subscribers to save $1 per gallon at participating gas stations between July 3 and July 6, aligning with the busy Fourth of July travel period.
Fuel Savings Available Through Earnify Linkage
To access the discount, drivers must link their Amazon Prime account to the BP loyalty program, Earnify. Once connected, members will receive $1 off per gallon on one fuel purchase, capped at 35 gallons. The offer is available at over 7,500 BP, Amoco, and affiliated stations across the United States. Drivers can locate participating stations through the Earnify app and redeem the deal by using a phone number, linked payment method, or selecting the pump directly through the app.
Beyond the temporary discount, Prime members also receive a consistent 10-cent-per-gallon savings at these locations throughout the year.
Amazon Prime Day Expands to Four Days, Global Reach Grows
The gas offer is part of a broader set of early Prime Day incentives. Other promotions include a complimentary three-month Audible trial. Prime Day, set for July 8 through July 11, will mark Amazon’s first-ever four-day version of the event. It follows a steady expansion of Prime Day since its 2015 launch, which originally lasted just 24 hours in nine countries. Now spanning over 20 markets, Prime Day generated $14.2 billion in revenue in 2024, and Amazon expects continued growth.
Prime membership costs remain at $14.99 per month or $139 annually. However, Amazon has signaled that pricing could change. A JPMorgan report estimates Prime membership could rise to $159 in 2025, potentially adding $3 billion to Amazon’s annualized revenue. The projection is based on Amazon’s recurring pattern of increasing prices every four years.
Membership Value Faces Increased Scrutiny Amid Service Cuts
Despite added features like expanded delivery coverage and perks such as free Grubhub+ and Whole Foods discounts, recent cuts—including the removal of “Try Before You Buy” and Amazon Today—have prompted some users to cancel memberships. Target’s competing 360 membership is reportedly gaining traction as a result.
