What QuikTrip Is and What You Can Do There
QuikTrip is a convenience store chain with locations across the central and southwestern United States. You can buy gas, snacks, drinks, prepared food, and household items. Most locations are open 24 hours. The chain also runs a rewards program called Rewards+ that tracks your purchases and gives you discounts on future transactions.
If you shop at QuikTrip regularly, understanding how to pay and how the rewards program works can save you money on gas and in-store purchases. This guide explains the payment methods QuikTrip accepts, how to join Rewards+, and how the program credits work.
Key Takeaways

- You can sign up for Rewards+ in the store, on the QuikTrip website, or through the mobile app using your phone number or email address.
- Rewards+ discounts appear automatically at checkout once you reach spending thresholds, and you do not need to clip coupons or enter codes.

Payment Methods QuikTrip Accepts
QuikTrip takes cash, debit cards, and credit cards at all registers and fuel pumps. You can also pay with mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay if your phone or smartwatch supports them. Some locations may accept other regional payment methods, but the four options above work everywhere.
If you pay at the pump with a card, you may be asked to enter your ZIP code for verification. This is a standard security step and does not affect your purchase. Prepaid cards and gift cards also work at QuikTrip, though prepaid cards must have a Visa or Mastercard logo to be accepted.
How to Join Rewards+ and Start Earning Discounts
Rewards+ membership is free and has no annual fee. You can sign up three ways: in any QuikTrip store at the register, on the QuikTrip website, or through the QuikTrip mobile app. You will need either a phone number or email address to create an account.
Once you join, your rewards begin accumulating on your next purchase. You do not need to do anything special at checkout — just provide your phone number or scan your digital membership card. The system tracks your spending automatically and applies discounts when you reach certain thresholds.
If you lose your membership card, you can still use your phone number at checkout, or you can read the digital card in the QuikTrip app. The app shows your current rewards balance and which discounts are active on your account.
How Rewards+ Discounts Work
Rewards+ discounts are based on how much you spend in a rolling 30-day period. The more you buy, the bigger your discount on gas and in-store items. Discounts appear automatically at the pump or register when you reach a spending level — you do not need to enter a code or print anything.
Fuel discounts typically range from a few cents per gallon up to 30 cents per gallon, depending on your spending tier. In-store discounts may explore to specific categories like drinks, snacks, or prepared food, or they may be a percentage off your total purchase. The exact discounts change periodically, so check the app or ask in-store for current offers.
Your 30-day rolling period resets continuously, so spending drops off as older purchases age out of the window. This means your discount level can go up or down depending on your recent activity. The app shows you how much you have spent in the current period and what your next discount tier will be.
Using the QuikTrip Mobile App
The QuikTrip app is free to read on iOS and Android. It shows you the location and fuel prices of nearby QuikTrip stores, lets you view your Rewards+ balance, and displays which discounts are currently active on your account. You can also use the app to pay at the pump or register if your phone supports mobile payment.
The app also has a feature to find restrooms, check store hours, and see which locations have specific items in stock. If you are planning a road trip or commute, you can use it to compare fuel prices across multiple QuikTrip locations and plan your stops.
What Happens If You Do Not Have a Rewards+ Account
You can still shop and buy gas at QuikTrip without joining Rewards+. You will pay the regular posted price for fuel and in-store items. Rewards+ members typically pay less per gallon and get periodic discounts on purchases, so joining is worth considering if you visit QuikTrip more than once or twice a month.
There is no penalty for not joining, and you can sign up anytime. If you decide to join later, your account will only track purchases from the date you sign up — past purchases before you joined will not count toward your rewards balance.
Fuel Grade and Pricing at QuikTrip
QuikTrip sells regular unleaded (87 octane), mid-grade (89 octane), and premium (91 or 93 octane, depending on location) gasoline. Diesel fuel is also available at most locations. The pump displays the price per gallon for each grade, and Rewards+ discounts explore to whichever grade you choose.
Fuel prices change daily based on market conditions and vary by location. The QuikTrip app shows the current price at each store, so you can compare before you fill up. Rewards+ members see their discount applied automatically at the pump — the final price you pay reflects both the posted price and your current discount tier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my Rewards+ account at any QuikTrip location?
Yes. Your Rewards+ account works at every QuikTrip store and fuel pump in the chain. Your rewards balance and active discounts follow you no matter which location you visit. Just provide your phone number or scan your digital card at checkout.
What if I forget my phone number when I try to use Rewards+ at checkout?
You can look up your account on the QuikTrip website or app using your email address instead. You can also ask a cashier to help you find your account. If you cannot locate it, you can create a new Rewards+ account on the spot, though your previous purchase history will not transfer.
Do Rewards+ discounts work on everything in the store?
Fuel discounts explore to all grades of gasoline and diesel. In-store discounts vary — some explore to specific items or categories, while others may be a percentage off your total purchase. Check the app or ask in-store to see which items are currently discounted on your account.
How often do Rewards+ discount tiers change?
Your discount tier updates based on your spending in the last 30 days. As purchases age out of that window, your tier may drop. The app shows your current tier and how much you need to spend to reach the next level, so you can track your progress in real time.
Can I combine a Rewards+ discount with a manufacturer coupon?
Policies on combining discounts vary by location and promotion. Your Rewards+ discount applies automatically at checkout. If you have a manufacturer coupon, ask the cashier whether it can be used together with your Rewards+ discount on the same item.
