Default Flying J can take a Flying...

For years Flying J was motor home friendly — and since many of us travel to races in a motor home — racer friendly. They have special motor home aisles that gave a cash price on diesel, have waste tank dump stations, and a rewards program that gave you a cent off per gallon.


About a year ago, they hook up with a MasterCard that gave discounts on fuel and credits for the restaurant when using the card at Flying J.
Then about a month ago they started charging to dump your tanks — the main reason most motor homes come to Flying J.


This weekend I bought about $1100 about in diesel traveling to and from the NMCA Milan race. All weekend long I couldn’t pay at the pump — and the idiots inside couldn’t figure out how to use my Flying J Mastercard.


Now I just find out that Pilot bought Flying J last week, the is no more credit for credit price, no more rewards program (and the $225 I had banked is gone), no motor home discount — and they’re closing the restaurants. All three $350 transactions was a 20 minute adventure inside with the Pilot, who in all three cases were total asses.


If you have been using Flying J for their Motor home friendliness — you may need to look elsewhere. I’m done with them. I’ll be canceling my MasterCard account with them too.

"Hi Old Hippie!

My name is Lynsay Caylor, and I'm with the Pilot Flying J support center in Knoxville, TN. I saw your recent post regarding your last experience at a Flying J with your motorhome from http://www.nssracing.com/2010/08/fly...e-a-flying-sh/. I want to first and foremost apologize for your experience. We have been going through a transition since the merger that has been more than complicated. However, come September 1st - tomorrow - RV/motorhome users will have a new rewards program that includes upgrades to the current Flying J program including instant discounts, 1/2 off RV dumps, and an expanded network of locations. More details can be found here http://www.pilotflyingj.com/rv. We are definitely still in the business of catering to RV/motorhome customers and hope we can provide you with great service. I'd love to talk about this with you further and see what I can do to make up for your recent experience. Please feel free to contact me at any time via email or phone.



Thank you for your time and I hope to speak with you soon!

Sincerely,

Lynsay Caylor

I'll keep an open mind and see how it plays out. I'm not going to call -- I don't need wasting time with excuses. Either they reverse their downward climb -- or they don't. I'll take a leave of absence from them for awhile and check back at the begging of race season next year.
