WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass.,
July 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Gulf Oil and Discover Financial Services, today announced
the launch of a summer savings campaign geared to reward consumers
for downloading the new Gulf Pay app and linking their Discover
card as the preferred payment method.
By downloading the free Gulf Pay app and linking a Discover card
within wallet, users will automatically start saving $.15 cents off on each gallon of gasoline (up to
20 gallons per visit for a total of 18 visits) when utilizing their
Discover card for payment at participating stations throughout New
England and New York. The campaign
will provide users with exclusive savings starting July 13th and running through October 15th.
Gulf Pay, like a digital wallet, offers a convenient and
seamless shopping experience by allowing users to link their
Discover card and securely pay at the pump with their mobile phones
while utilizing token encrypted data. Users can also use the app to
locate the closest Gulf station, access live pricing and reliable
directions, and view station offerings.
"By teaming up with Discover this summer, we can provide
increased security and exclusive savings to an already loyal and
growing group of existing cardholders with Gulf Pay," said
Marg McDonnell, Senior Director,
Credit Card Operations, Gulf Oil. "This campaign allows us to
incentivize more motorists to choose Gulf and Discover and
ultimately drives more traffic into our stations."
The program will be supported by advertising from both Gulf and
Discover. The support will come from promotional materials at
participating stations, digital and radio advertisements in the New
England market, and targeted email and social messaging.
"Discover is always looking for new and innovative ways to give
our cardmembers the best possible experience," said Andrew Hopkins, Vice President of Portfolio
Marketing at Discover. "We want to encourage new and existing
Discover cardmembers to add their Discover card to Gulf Pay and
take advantage of this generous offer."
The Gulf Pay app launched in both the Apple App Store and Google
Play stores in June and is currently accepted at participating Gulf
retail fuel locations throughout select New England and
New York markets. To learn more
