BJ's Wholesale Club Penny Per Gallon event is a month-long annual promotion when members can save on gas.

During the fall and spring each year, BJ's Wholesale Club offers their members a chance to pay a penny per gallon of gas with the purchase of certain items. The event occurs at every BJ's Wholesale Club location that has a gas station.

BJ's Wholesale Club Penny Per Gallon event started on Aug. 20, 2024.

The second annual BJ's Wholesale Club Penny Per Gallon event started on Aug. 20 and runs through Sept. 22, 2024. This promotion allows members to get gas as cheap as $0.01 per gallon, providing you purchase a number of specific items at BJ's. Last year, the event started on Aug. 22.

Depending on the cost of a gallon of gas at your local BJ's gas station, you may have to buy 300 or more items to get your cost down to $0.01.

Although BJ's gas stations are open to members and non-members, only members get fuel discounts. To get the gas savings during this month-long event, you must purchase specific items between Aug. 20 and Sept. 22. For each item you buy, you'll save $0.10 per gallon (up to $99 or 40-gal max) on your next fill up that you make within 30 days at BJ's Gas.

Eligible items you can shop include your everyday household essentials, grocery items, beauty products, and more. Here's how the savings work:

  • Buy 1 = 10¢ off/gallon,

  • Buy 2 = 20¢ off/gallon,

  • Buy 3= 30¢ off/gallon, and so on.

This means depending on the cost of a gallon of gas at your local BJ's gas station, you may have to buy 300 or more items to get your cost down to $0.01.

Good news is, you can spread your purchases over multiple shopping trips, so don't worry about having to buy everything at once. However, if you do buy the necessary number of items for the penny per gallon price, you can fill up the same day!

When you get to the pump, you must scan or swipe your membership card and payment method to get the savings.

TIP: Although you can redeem your Fuel Saver discounts right after shopping, it may take up to 15 minutes for your discount to appear at the pump.

Pay for your gas with a BJ's One+ Mastercard or BJ's One Mastercard and stack your savings.

If you pay for your fuel with a BJ's One+ or BJ's One Mastercard, you can stack your card savings with any savings you have earned during the Penny Per Gallon event. For example:

  • BJ's One+ Mastercard: $0.15 off per gallon plus your Penny Per Gallon savings.

  • BJ's One Mastercard: $0.10 off per gallon plus your Penny Per Gallon savings.

That's at least one less item you have to buy when you stack your BJ's credit card savings and those from the Penny Per Gallon event.
