My father bought a new Kia from a local Kia delaership (Tampa,FL) and got an offer for $500 in free gas from this company as well. Well, same thing happened to him as the above posters, he registered, paid his $5 register fee, and bought gas every month (at least $100 worth to be eligible) then sent in his receipts for his $25 monthly gas card he was supposed to get, and to date he has never recieved anything. Fortunantly, because the company is somewhat local, a local news station (Bay News 9, baynews9.com) has been following the investigation by the state attorneys office, and has been posting updates on their website about this company. As of today, they are reporting it appears the office (Tidewater marketing in Largo,FL) had began to close down. Very Unfortunate, and shady as well. My father plans to register with the state attorneys office against this company, and hopefully a class action suit will come of this.

Gasoline Redemption Center promises $25 gas cards for every $100 of receipts you send in Largo Florida Like Mark, I too received this wonderful promotion from a timeshare in Orlando. I followed the rules: $100 in receipts from the same gas station every month for four months. I received emails stating that my receipts were received as follows: We have received your gas receipts in good order. IMPORTANT NOTE: For each voucher you receive; send $100 in gasoline purchase receipts. You may only redeem one voucher per month. Your receipts and redemption vouchers must be received monthly following the listed Terms and Conditions in order to receive your $25 gas gift card per the following schedule: A: If the Redemption Coupon and original receipts are received on or before the 25th of the month in which the gasoline purchases took place, you will receive your $25 Gas Gift Card within 28 business days. B: If the Redemption Coupon and original receipts are received after the 25th of the month in which the gasoline purchases took place, you will receive your $25 Gas Gift card within 54 business days. We do not require anything further from you at this time. Just keep collecting and sending in your receipts so you can receive your Free Gas. Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a response. Once again you are all set just keep doing what you are doing. Thank you for being a member Your Free Gas Team I began this process in August and have not seen the first gas card. I'm sure there are many others who have gone through this because when my husband and I purchased a car from a Hyundai dealer in New Port Richey, FL. we received yet another redemption offer. This time for $250 in "free gas". Needless to say, this time we opted out. They claim that it is a promotional offer for marketing purposes. It is a scam! If you receive one of these "offers", DON'T DO IT!!!! I have wondered if it is possible for them to make money from the receipts you send in. I would like to thank Ripoff Report for allowing the consumer a means to strike back and a way to warn others.

Just re-read my contribution, and noticed I transposed two keys when typing. I wrote "...you have to send in 4% first," but I meant to write ...you have to send in $5 first.
