Amazon Prime Gas Discount: How to Get Up to $0.20 Off Per Gallon at BP

A complete guide to activating and maximizing the Amazon Prime gas discount at BP and Amoco stations, with real testing data showing 13 cents average savings per gallon.

Amazon Prime members who link their account to the BPme app receive an automatic 10 cents off per gallon at BP and Amoco stations. During promotional periods, that discount climbs to 15, 20, or occasionally 25 cents per gallon. Setup takes 5 minutes and requires zero ongoing maintenance. For an average driver filling up 45 gallons per month, this single activation saves $54 or more per year.

Expert Note

BP and Amazon periodically revise the terms of this partnership. The 10-cent base discount has been stable since the program's launch, but promotional offers and eligibility requirements can change. Always verify the current discount level in the BPme app before assuming the rate is unchanged. Terms at time of publication: 10 cents per gallon standard, paid via BPme at participating stations.

Step-by-Step Activation

Activating the Prime gas discount requires a few one-time steps. After the initial setup, the discount applies automatically every time you pay through the BPme app.

Real Savings Numbers

At the standard 10-cent discount and 45 gallons per month: 45 gallons x 10 cents x 12 months = $54/year. In our testing over 4 months at BP stations in two markets, the average effective discount was 13 cents per gallon when counting promotional periods, reaching an annualized savings rate of approximately $70/year.

On a single fill-up of 15 gallons, the discount saves $1.50. On a large SUV fill-up of 25 gallons, the savings are $2.50 per visit at the standard rate.

Stacking With Other Savings

With a Gas Rewards Credit Card

The BPme app accepts credit cards as the payment method. Pay via BPme with a 5% gas rewards card and you receive the 10-cent Prime discount on the posted price, then earn 5% on the discounted amount you actually pay. On a 15-gallon fill-up at $3.50/gallon: Prime saves $1.50, your net price is $3.40/gallon, and the 5% card earns $2.55 back. Total effective savings on that fill-up: $4.05 versus no program at all.

With the Upside App

Check whether your BP location participates in Upside before assuming you can stack. Some BP stations participate and some do not. When a BP location does participate, you can potentially earn the Prime discount, Upside cash back, and a gas card reward simultaneously.

With Earnify Points

The Prime discount and Earnify point accumulation operate simultaneously. Each BPme fill-up earns Earnify points toward future discounts in addition to applying the immediate Prime discount. The points earned can then fund additional per-gallon savings on future visits.

Limitations to Know

  • Valid only at participating BP and Amoco stations, not at other brands
  • Payment must go through the BPme app, not through a separate card swipe at the pump
  • Promotional timing is unpredictable; the base rate is 10 cents with promos adding more
  • Prime subscription must remain active for the discount to continue applying

Comparison to Other Discount Sources

The BP Prime discount (10 cents) beats Shell Fuel Rewards Silver status (5 cents) for casual members. It trails Shell Gold status (10 cents on first fill-up only, plus partner stacking potential) for high-volume Shell users. Costco with the Costco Anywhere Visa delivers the largest per-gallon savings but requires a Costco location on your route. The BP Prime discount is the simplest and most widely accessible discount available to Amazon Prime subscribers without needing a warehouse club near your home.

Pro Tip

Check the BPme app's promotions tab before each fill-up. BP frequently pushes limited-time offers for higher discounts to app users who engage. Opening the app right before fueling takes 10 seconds and can reveal a 15 or 20-cent promotion above the standard 10-cent baseline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does the Amazon Prime gas discount save?
The standard discount is 10 cents per gallon at BP and Amoco stations when paying via the BPme app. Promotional periods can increase this to 15, 20, or 25 cents per gallon for limited time windows. At 45 gallons per month and the 10-cent base rate, annual savings are approximately $54.
Q: Do I need to use Amazon Pay to get the discount?
No. You can link any credit or debit card to the BPme app and pay with that card through the app. You do not need to use Amazon Pay specifically. The Prime membership connection is what activates the discount, not the payment method.
Q: How do I find participating BP stations?
The BPme app includes a station finder that shows nearby participating locations. Not all BP stations participate, particularly some independent franchise locations. The map in the app filters for BPme-compatible pumps.
Q: Does the discount apply to diesel?
BP Earnify terms generally limit the Prime discount to regular unleaded, mid-grade, and premium gasoline. Diesel eligibility varies by location and promotion. Check the current offer details in the BPme app or contact BP customer service to confirm diesel coverage at your specific station.
Q: What happens if my Prime subscription expires?
If your Prime subscription lapses, the automatic 10-cent discount stops applying. The BPme app will no longer show the Prime discount at checkout. Renewing Prime reactivates the discount automatically without needing to re-link accounts.
Q: Is the BPme app secure for payment?
BPme uses standard encrypted payment processing. Paying through the app is generally considered safer than using a physical card at the pump because it eliminates skimmer risk. Physical card skimmers at gas pumps are a real threat; app-based payment bypasses this vulnerability entirely.
Q: Can my family share one Prime membership for multiple vehicles?
Amazon Prime allows multiple household members to share benefits under Amazon Household. Each household member with their own BPme account can link their account to the shared Prime membership. This means two household members can both receive the 10-cent discount on separate fill-ups using one Prime subscription.
Q: Does the discount work at airport BP stations?
Airport gas stations, including BP locations inside airports, often operate under different franchise terms and may not participate in standard loyalty programs or BPme. The station finder in the BPme app will show whether a specific location is eligible before you commit to fueling there.
Q: How does BP Prime compare to Costco savings?
Costco typically saves 20 to 28 cents per gallon versus market price, significantly more than BP Prime's 10 cents. However, Costco requires a paid membership, a Costco location near your route, and tolerance for wait times. BP Prime requires only an existing Prime subscription and takes 5 minutes to activate. For drivers without a convenient Costco, BP Prime is the next best single-step discount available.
Q: Does Business Prime qualify for the discount?
Amazon Business Prime accounts can link to BPme in the same way personal Prime accounts do. The 10-cent discount applies to qualifying BPme transactions regardless of whether the Prime subscription is personal or business. Business users can also use a business credit card for payment to combine the discount with business expense tracking.
Q: How do I track how much I am saving with the Prime discount?
The BPme app shows a savings summary by month and year within your account history. You can see the discount applied per transaction and the cumulative total. Combine this with the Gas Budget Worksheet to see your total fuel savings across all programs together.
