TSD Logistics shows what Good Sam is making off of us

[Neal]

OK...OK...OK...trying to avoid a pair of broken arms here, so I'm going to apply for a TSD card! @Neal is pretty persuasive ...and, I didn't want folks thinking that I am "bonkers!" I may be, but I just don't want anyone to know.

Early in my motorhome days, I had a couple of less-than-satisfactory experiences with Loves and have pretty much avoided them ever since. The issues involved going inside and dealing with snarky cashiers. It looks like with the TSD card, I would be able to activate the pump myself via the app so that will likely resolve my issues.

Now, a couple of questions. For those who have applied and not opted for the 48-hour processing ($20) and/or overnight shipping ($50), how long did it take for you to get your card with normal processing? And, regarding the TSD phone app and the Loves phone app; do I need them both? What is the advantage to having them both,

Thanks for any info to help me fully understand what I'm getting myself into.

@TJ&LadyDi Don't spend any extra on processing, it will take about a week as others have said. Mine was handled promptly.

I don't know why but we all had a poo-poo impression of Love's and I can tell you after this TSD has taken to Love's I have a different impression as their fill stations all seem tops. The real bonus with Love's is when using the Love's app while sitting in your seat in your coach at the pump going through all the pump steps and approval via the app. Do the final step to start pumping get out and pump. How cool is that???!!! I would install both the Love's app and EFS app when you have your paperwork from TSD. The EFS app will show you the discounts and also has a map to show you where you can use it for savings. There are other places other than Love's but I keep it simple and stick to Love's unless I'm in a bind. Speaking of which I'm leaving for FL service tomorrow and I need to get gas and Love's is not on the route for an hour or two so I need to look at other options that may be available.

So let's get that application in and then we'll get you setup on the Love's and EFS app and we'll find something for you to buy with all that savings! Plenty of help around here with Amazon goodies you have to have! A few more Apple TV's for the coach maybe?? Hmmmm

Application was submitted to TSD last night I have already received the confirmation e-mail and one saying my confirmation was successful. After the sales pitch by @ARD, how could I not apply.

Now, we just have to figure out when we can burn diesel and go somewhere.

Speaking only for myself, it was always my impression that Pilot/FJ was more RV friendly with the dump stations and RV lanes, and I could get the $.08 discount. I think I had hit Love’s a grand total of once before getting the EFS card. Since then, I’ve been exclusively Loves.

We were exactly the same, almost never refueling at a Love's and almost always at a P/FJ. I don't think I've been to a FJ since we received the TSD/EFS card.

P.S. Get the love's app it makes everything soooooooo much easier.

Most Love’s do have dump stations & potable water. I used one in Illinois to fill up with water; no charge. The dump usually costs $10. The station was on the gas pump side, but no problem to access with my 35ft and a toad.

@TJ&LadyDi you won’t be disappointed, I’ve had mine since last Oct. I too stayed away from Loves as I hated having to go in and the price. Hope you put @ARD or someone as a referral, they get a credit once you purchase 100 gallons.

 

[DKRITTER]

Since you're waiting go ahead and get a Love's Reward card and set that up. When you get the EFS card you can add it to the LRC.

Also download the TSD ap and the EFS ap.

I should have put ARD in as the referral, but I summitted the app just before she checked in with her great information. Soooooo, I put ol-what's-his-name on the app as the referral instead. And, yes; my arms are feeling better today.

It looks like you have to go to a Love's in person in order to pick up a rewards card so you can apply for the program; is that correct? I downloaded the Love's app to my iPhone, but it seems like until I pick up a rewards card, I am dead in the water, Wherever I go in the Love's app, it wants my "rewards number." Since the nearest Loves is 118 miles away, that won't happen any time soon.

Not finding much helpful information on the Love's website. I keep having flashbacks to why I never cared much for Love's.

Are there two apps...TSD and EFS...in addition to the Love's app?

@TJ&LadyDi you need your efs card from TSD to add to your wallet inside the loves app. Then you are ready to go. The reward program is separate and you can get that the next time you get fuel. It’s not a necessity to be able to fuel. I am happy to get on the phone with you would like additional help.

 

[sheridany]

To provide further clarity. Here is the screen shot of efs app. You can do things with this if you need it. I have it but its also somewhat redundant compared to the loves app.

efs price locator but not all are truck stops.

 

[TJ&LadyDi]

Thanks, Sheridan; I will wait until the card from TSD/EFS arrives.

In a trial run earlier, I clicked on "Wallet" in the Love's app. It asked for my e-mail address, so I put it in. The next screen asked for my "My Love's Reward Number." I couldn't proceed past that point without the Rewards number.

Have I missed a step in registering with Love's? I haven't found anywhere to do that and wonder what e-mail address they expect me to input.

A bit confusing.

@TJ&LadyDi i have not gotten the Loves reward card yet either. Yes haven’t wanted to go inside and pick one up. I just use card at pump, fuel up, take pix of pump and leave.
One day I may get the card for rewards, but using their app isn’t necessary

That is so strange. Not sure why it would require rewards card to set up the wallet. I don’t have a rewards card and my app was able to set up fine without it. We may need our Chief Technology Officer @Neal to weigh in here.
