Greenlane Fuel Card

[Texas Clodhopper]

I have noticed that the Greenlane card consistently offers a better price than the Open Roads card.

Since I only recently started using Greenlane, I'm wondering if long-term users have found that to be true for a while.

We have been using Greenlane for a couple/few years, don’t recall how long it is been.
Our experience has been that which card has the best price - varies over time and by geography.
I have noticed Greenlane has been better pricing recently in areas we have been checking for travel plans.
Also noticed that Greenlane has been adding more locations, locations that were in the past only on Mudflap’s program.
Greenlane has been turning into our primary card with Open Roads and Mudflap fighting for 2nd place.
We also like that the final price is more transparent, the price Greenlane shows is the price you pay. Unlike Open Roads where we give back 10% of the savings, which I believe is still added on top of the price they show on the app.

Same here. I've been using Greenlane exclusively for the past 2 years. They're constantly improving and updating the app to incorporate new features. I particularly like not needing to use a fuel card at all at many locations. Very convenient. They forward you codes to enter that approves the transaction.

Kudos @GreenlaneOfficial - I look forward to using it next time I'm out.

Just signed up myself, thanks. Nice to have an alternative to Open Roads.

So, a bit confused. How is the fuel paid for. The app says nothing that I can see. The app also says you have to state how many gallons you want. So what if I say 60 and use 50?
Their website is lacking unless I am missing it
Do I need to link a bank account? What are their fees? Maybe I need more coffee

Same here when I got the app. I'm going to contact them next week.

I found it in the app. You have to link a debit, credit or bank account to it. Since we have registered they will mail an actual card.
Go into profile at bottom right and you will find it all

What underboss said above is correct regarding how you pay.

Answer to “how many gallons” - this tells GREENLANE what amount to request to pre authorize. If you say “60” then 60 is pre authorized and when you only use 50 gallons the final charge is only for what you used.

Thank you

Don't forget about the reward points you earn each time you purchase fuel. May not be a lot but it's $$ you've earned. You can earn from 1 to 5 cents off per gallon.

I have had mine almost 2 years, but so far it was only more advantageous 1 time. I have noticed it usually being competitive, but the stations were not on my desired route.

I am currently boycotting Open Roads so I will have to give Greenlane a look. I was driving by myself and needed fuel (no copilot to do the scouting). I stopped at Loves on interstate 44 between OKC and Chickasha. The fuel was priced high like I expect Loves to be compared to QT or Allsups. I started the pump and pumped fuel as usual. When I got my statement, it said that store was not included in the system. So I paid their ridiculous price and a handling fee on top of that. Be very aware of Loves. These were commercial pumps.

That isn't OR's fault.

I didn't say it was. But at the very least they are co-conspirators. I am boycotting Loves as well. I don't know why anybody would buy fuel at Loves without the open roads card. If I can't pull into a Loves truckstop and not know I am getting a competitive fuel price, I am shopping elsewhere.
