How We Maximized Turkey Hill’s Bonus Points Rewards Program, Saved on Fuel and Enter to Win a $25 Gift Card Giveaway!!

turkey hill march bonus point items

Turkey Hill Stores launched some new BONUS POINTS as part of their rewards program this week in their stores. They asked me to test out the program, track my bonus points online, and share my experience with you! All my opinions are my own. They did not pay me to write this post, but they did reimburse some of my purchases.

I think you’ll be eager to see what I learned! I would have never predicted my findings!!

Before I went to the store, I looked over the bonus points rewards program, found out what it was and how I would earn bonus points. I did my research, so you don’t necessarily have to. I focused in on the made to order foods, because we all have to eat, right?! Read on to find out how a family pizza night cost us only $8.45!

What is the Bonus Points Program?

turkey hill bonus points big fuel savings

With Bonus Points, you’ll be on your way to faster fuel savings by shopping select items that earn you extra bonus points. Remember, when you earn 100 points, you have earned $.10 off per gallon of fuel (up to 35 gallons).

You can accumulate points between March 1, 2016 and March 31, 2016. You can then redeem points for fuel discounts between March 1, 2016 and April 30, 2016.

How do I earn Bonus Points?

For the month of March 2016, these are the items that will earn you bonus points. I added the prices of the items if I knew them.

10 Points
All Frito Lay Single Serve (2 for $2.50)
Skittles and Starburst All Sizes ($1.39 – $1.95)
Stride, Trident, Dentyne ($1.49 – $1.59)

20 Points
44oz Fountain ($1.69)
All Pepsi or Coke 2 Liters ($2.19 – $2.49)
Coffee 20oz ($1.39)
Hot Made To Order Breakfast Sandwich (Excludes Cold Premade Sandwiches) ($2.29)

30 Points
Chicken Caesar Wrap
7″ Personal Size Pizza ($2.69)
Any Small Sub or Wrap ($4.19)
Pretzel Hamwich
Sandwiches (Select Variety)
Turkey Hill Water 24-pack

40 Points
Red Bull 4 Pack

50 Points
PUGS Sunglasses – 1 Pair, Any Variety ($13.99)

Is it worth it?

I was quite skeptical of the program at first. I did the math quickly in my head and I didn’t see how it would really save me a lot and be worth it to me. The problem was, I was thinking of it like Giant Gas Deals program. Finding ways to get my gas completely free. Once I started looking it from another angle—as a way to save on breakfasts and lunches out—I began to see the benefits.

I never expected to change my mind about bonus points, until I went to the store and tried it out!

Family Pizza Night for only $8.45!

We decided to have a family pizza night. We bought one personal pizza for each of us (like a Pizza Hut Personal Pan, but bigger, less greasy and much tastier!), and a 2 liter drink.

$2.69    7 Inch Cheese Pizza (30 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
$2.69    7 Inch Cheese Pizza (30 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
$2.69    7 Inch Cheese Pizza (30 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
$2.69    7 Inch Cheese Pizza (30 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
$2.69    7 Inch Cheese Pizza (30 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
$2.59    2 liter Sprite (20 bonus points + 6 purchase points)
——–
$13.45  TOTAL (206 bonus points)

Those purchases earned us just over 200 points, which equals $.20 off per gallon of fuel.

We’re assuming you will fill up 25 gallons, since most vehicles don’t hold 35 gallons (the maximum allowed by the fuel rewards program). If you fill up 35 gallons, your savings will be even more!!

Here’s the math:

202 points = $.20/gallon fuel discount x 25 gallon fill up = $5 fuel discount

This is how we like to think of it. We need to buy gas anyway, right?

So whatever fuel discount we save, is actually a savings on our purchase, not our fuel.

Therefore the cost of the pizza at $13.45, less the $5 savings on fuel, means our pizza night really only cost us $8.45!!!

Here’s the math:

$13.45 paid for 5 pizzas – $5.00 saved on fuel = $8.45 / 5 pizzas = $1.69 per pizza

Who Is This Best For?

  1. I think the pizza night example proves this is a great idea for anyone—it’s a great deal to feed a family of 5 for only $8.45!
  2. Using the Bonus Points is also especially for anyone who usually buys their gas at Turkey Hill (or for whoever doesn’t buy their gas at Turkey Hill but regularly passes one on their way to work). You probably can earn bonus points on something you’re already buying somewhere else anyway. Which leads me to . . .
  3. I wanted to point out that while I was at Turkey Hill investigating the bonus rewards, I saw numerous customers come in and buy a breakfast sandwich, coffee, and some even bought a lunch sandwich too. If these customers used their rewards cards on their purchases, they would earn about one FREE breakfast/lunch a week in fuel savings!Turkey Hill Small Sub Bonus Points Rewards Program
    $2.29 breakfast sandwich (20 bonus + 4 points)
    $1.69 20oz coffee (20 points + 4 points)
    $4.19 small sub (30 points + 8 points)
    ————–
    $7.87 TOTAL (86 points) 

    If you make the above purchase every day, for 5 days, that adds up to a cost of $39.35 but an earning of 430 points.

    A total of 430 points earns you $.40 off per gallon x 25 gallons = $10 fuel savings! It’s like you got more than one of your days purchases for FREE.

Be Strategic With Their Rewards

As part of their Fountain Club, after you buy 9 drinks you get 1 FREE. Maximize your savings, by combining the bonus points they offer with their 44oz fountain drink. You’ll earn 20 bonus gas points, plus you’ll be 1 drink closer to getting a FREE drink!

Plus, remember you always save an extra $.03 per gallon every time you use your rewards card when you fill up!

Enter to Win a $25 Turkey Hill Gift Card

Turkey Hill Stores was generous enough to offer a $25 gift card to one of Frugal Lancaster’s readers. The contest will run from March 4 to March 28. Winner will be notified by email.
