With gas prices on the rise and projected to reach record highs before Memorial Day, consumers are forced to strategically plan where and how they buy gasoline. From gas trackers to rewards cards, it&rsquo;s a necessity to think twice before heading to the pump. 
With a selection of rewards programs linked to gas stations, it&rsquo;s important to choose the program that works best for your family and to be consistent. 
Price Chopper has partnered with Sunoco to provide a discount of 10 cents off per gallon for every $50 spent at the supermarket. There are no limits to the discounts you earn, but it is important to check your receipt for expiration dates on your rewards. Price Chopper tracks your savings on the AdvantEdge card. 
You can apply for an AdvantEdge Card and also check your fuel rewards at www.pricechopper.com.
Giant also offers a Gas Extra Rewards program, but rather than partnering with another gas station, participating stores offer discounts that can be redeemed at Giant. You can shop at any Giant and still earn points, but only redeem points at Giant Gas Stations.
Through June 30, Shur Save shoppers can earn one $10 Visa prepaid gas card by purchasing $25 in participating Procter and Gamble products.
Turkey Hill stores offer rewards that allow you to save up to $1 per gallon. By shopping at Turkey Hill, customers can earn two points for each dollar spent with the rewards card. Earn 10 cents off per 100 points that you earn up to 1,000 points each month. 
Turkey Hill also has bonus points that can be earned by purchasing certain products throughout the week. You can sign up at www.turkeyhillstores.com or at your local Turkey Hill.
Sheetz also offers a similar program offering a 3 cent discount off every gallon instantly when you sign up and use a Sheetz Rewards Card.
Joe&rsquo;s Kwik Marts also offers 3 cent discounts off every gallon instantly when you sign up and use their rewards card. You can also earn points through the purchase of heating oil.
Since it doesn&rsquo;t look like gas prices are going down before the summer, it&rsquo;s a good idea to look into a rewards program. There are also credit cards that allow you to earn gas rewards, but you have to make sure that you only use them to fill up your tank and pay them off each month.
