The Jewel-Express Gas Rewards Program ends today. If you are a Jewel-Osco customer and have been using your Preferred Customer card there, you’ll probably want to gas up today in Woodstock and scan your Preferred Card at the gas pump after you scan your credit card.

Just by coincidence I happened to stop at the Jewel Express station yesterday and saw the sign that indicated the end of the program. I collected a $.36/gallon discount and was glad that I stopped yesterday and not a couple of days later.

I didn’t ask the reason for the end of the program, but it seems strange that Jewel Express is ending the program so soon after incurring the expense of promoting it and installing the card readers at the pumps.

So, fire up the buggy and collect your discount today. Remember, you snooze? You lose.
