Speedway Case#: **************
Speedway
**** ***** **, ******** *****
The store sold me contaminated premium gas, which the store manager acknowledged occurred. However now sent me a letter denying any responsibility. I have the gas receipts and fuel that was drained by the BMW dealership from my gas tanks. Failure of Speedway to accept responsibility and resolve this issue will result in seeking legal options. Speedway has not maintained its tanks resulting in water accumulating at the bottom of it fuel tanks. The station frequently runs out of fuel. There is a record of the contamination filed with MN weight and measures department for the time period I obtained fuel. Yet you send me a generic letter denying my claim. I will also be forwarding this information to the MN attorney general and seeking to identify other vehicle owners impacted by this station to form a class action against Speedway and its insurers. I look forward to Speedway doing a reconsideration of this case and accepting responsibility for the contamination that has occurred at this station. The owner of the station has receipts of remediation work completed due to the contamination. Speedway claims process is not operating in good faith.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:Your denial letter is based off a technicality. I purchased gasoline from you on 1/26/23 and 1/28/23. But you have conveniently ignored the 1/28/23 purchase of premium gasoline in your response. My statement referring to the premium gasoline was after discussion with your store manager who stated the tanks were contaminated. You know you had a contamination on or about those dates. Again you are operating in bad faith. See you in court.

I was pumping gas in my car and the hose leaked gasoline on my clothes and shoes. I went inside and spoke with the manager. All she could do was told tell me to wash my hands and she blocked off the faulty gas pump. I was the one who initiated for her to give me a phone number to call. I called in and opened the case and stated what occurred. I told the agent over the phone that my UGG boots and Levi's jeans that I got for Christmas got ruined and this incident pushed me back to arrive late to work. I recently got a piece of mail asking for receipts of the items that got damaged. I previously stated that they were gifts and my wife threw away the receipts. I feel like this gas station is trying to not pay for the damages. I'm shocked that they didn't even offer a gift card or reimbursement or the 47$ worth of gas that I pumped initially. This incident made me reclean my Mercedes and tell my kids that they couldn't get in the car since the gas smell was so strong. I ended up discarding my UGG boots and Levi's.Business Response

****** ****** purchased gas from Speedway **** ** **** *** ************* ** *****, on 12/18/2022. I used a master debit card to buy $40.00 of gas, and the pump stopped at $3.81, and I immediately spoke to the cashier about the error, and it was stated, "try again or wait for the balance of $36.19 post back to your card".

I have looked into this transaction and these types of transactions can be misleading. The $40.00 was a pending pre auth hold and it only completed for the $3.81 and that is all we collected. It doesn't come back as a credit, but if you go back to your account and 12/18/2022 you should only see the completed transaction of $3.81 and the pending charge fall off and go back to your balance. You may need to have the bank help explain that to you. If you are still seeing the charge ,we will need to see a copy of the bank statement dated today to look into it further. You can send that to **************************.Initial Complaint

A few months ago I had to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office because The Speedway in ******* ******** Refuse to take my Battles for battle deposit. I did get a response back from the attorney generals and Speedway claims that they know nothing of this and that I never included a time or date so they couldn't check it with their security footage. I have screenshots of the original complaint when I filed it And it clearly States the date and time Of the incident. Anyways I received my response from Speedway through the Attorney General karma and Speedway cave an email address. [email protected] I was told to contact customer service through that email address to "Speedway respectfully requests that the customer reach out to our Customer service department at the [email protected] so that we can attemt to further remedy the situation" I just want to call out Speedway for sending false information.

Dear BBB,
I called Ms. ****** and explained to her that we were not provided the details of her bad experience from the MI Attorney General. I also explained to her, at the time we responded to the MI Attorney General we provided the correct Speedway email address but the MI Attorney General did not give it to her until after we changed our email address a month later. Ms. ****** was very happy after I explained all the confusion and I offered her enough Speedway Reward points for a $10 gift card for all of her inconveniences for the entire situation. Ms. ****** was very appreciative and thanked me.
I provided her better ways to report any future issues so she could get quicker resolutions.

I've patronized this business for over 10 years. In the past I've contacted the corporate office with several compliments. Only to be issued a complaint number and a promise that the complaint would be investigated with a follow up. But the investigation or
follow up never happen. On November 2022 I purchased two packs of Newport 100s at $9.17 as advertised with a additional $1.00 off as advertised in the store. But the computer calculations are fraudulent. Per my receipt the total before taxes equaled $18.34 minus $1.00 then taxes were added equaling $19.44???? However the extra $1.00 savings was not calculated at the end i.e $18.34 - $1.00= $17.34 + $1.10 tax should equal $18.44 as the true saving. But I was charged $19.44 at $9.72 per pack not $9.17 per pack with the additional $1.00 savings. This advertisement has been posted for several months now. Just so happen I decided to calculate the total, to see if I was truly getting the savings. That did not happen I'm disappointed that I've been lead astray for several months on my purchases. I would like a refund and to be made whole. Base on the past purchases.Business Response

According to the receipt attached to the claim, this purchase was made last night (11/28/22) at 6:30 PM. We were not contacted by the customer regarding this alleged discrepancy. He notes that this has occurred previously as well. With no specific dates to go on, I checked the customer's transaction history dating back to 1/1/22, and based on the dollar amounts of those purchases, there were three possible purchases that he could have been referring to. I have added 5,500 points to the customer's Speedy Rewards account, which is the amount necessary for the customer to redeem for a $5.00 Speedy Cash gift card that can be redeemed at any Speedway store.Initial Complaint

Hello,
I have been a Speedway customer for many years (and I also run a large non profit healthcare organization which uses Speedway gas stations on a daily basis). I collected many points on my Speedway account and when i went to redeem them I noticed the points I accumulated had expired. I did not receive any warning or notice that the points in my accounts will expire. I tried calling customer service and the agent was not helpful at all (they were rude and sounded like they just wanted me off the phone). I have been collecting points for years and would appreciate it if Speedway can re instate my points or provide with some form of compensation.
Thank you!Business Response

On 11-6-2022, I paid $1.50 by credit card to a faulty air pump at the Speedway gas station located at **** * **** *** ************* ** ****** This occurred shortly after midnight. The air pump screen said $2, but my bank account indicates it was $1.50 that I was charged. The air pump would not work at all. It showed wildly inaccurate numbers on the screen, and it quickly became clear it was not pumping my tire at all or giving any remotely accurate reading of the tire pressure. I went inside and asked for a refund and was told by the gas station clerk (an adult male) that the air pump was not working and that I wanted a refund. He said the air pump was not the company's responsibility. I asked if the company received revenue from the air pump, and he continued to evasively state that the air pump was not the company's responsibility. I persisted with the revenue question, and then he said something to the effect of, "If it's not our responsibility, we don't receive any revenue from it." This is extremely difficult to believe. The air pump has the Speedway logo on it, is located on Speedway's parking lot, and receives money. It strains credulity that Speedway would permit such an arrangement without receiving any revenue proceeds from the use of the air pump. It is also worth noting that I have had a similar experience at the Speedway located at 5508 Madison Ave, ************, ** *****, although this was around a year ago. It was the same pattern: the air pump did not work, and the gas station refused to provide a refund, claiming the air pump was not their responsibility. It is clear that this is part of a pattern with Speedway: faulty air pumps and gas station clerks who refuse to offer any refund to the defrauded individuals. I seek a refund of the $1.50 I spent and an investigation into this deceitful business practice. I also request Speedway immediately cease using air pumps until such time as they are going to refund those defrauded by them.Business Response

Dear ******,
Thank you for contacting us regarding our store located in
************, IN.
This machine is
owned and operated by an outside vendor. These machines require a
substantial investment from our outside vendor which ultimately results in a
usage charge for customers. For future you will need to call Air
Valet 877-247-8253 or Air Service 800-247-8363.
As a one-time good faith gesture, I am enclosing a $5.00
gift card which I invite you to redeem at any one of our brand outlets
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with
us, and for being one of our valued customers.
Kind Regards,

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: While the air machine might be owned and operated by an outside vendor, it seems very hard to believe Speedway would allow a machine to be operated on Speedway's property and earn revenue without sharing any of the proceeds from the air machine transactions with Speedway. I do not know if Speedway does or does not receive proceeds from the air machine transactions, but it would seem very unusual for a business to allow an outside business to operate on the property, receive revenue therefrom, and not provide the actual owner of the property with any proceeds from the transactions. Speedway's staff make no efforts to alert customers to the problems with the air machines. When I brought this problem to the clerk's attention, he made no indication he would place any sign on it to alert customers to the fact the machine is not working. This was the same situation at a different Speedway a year ago. While the $5 gift card would make me whole for the money spent on the machines, the real solution here is for Speedway's clerks to hang signs on the air machines alerting would-be customers when they are out of order. This would prevent customers from being defrauded and would place just and lawful pressure on the vendor to fix their faulty machines.

I paid $25 for gas and the cashier run up the wrong type of gas. Upon asking for the right she had to refund my card the $25. I was told by both parties my bank and speedway that it would take 10 days for the money to come back into my account. I didn't even have enough money to make it home. I want that money back and I don't think that this is a proper procedure.Business Response

I do not have enough information to pull the transaction. I have emailed the customer twice to get card information.
