Speedway: Rewards & Shopping
Overview
In convenience-store retail and fuel sales, mobile loyalty applications serve as key channels to drive repeat store visits. The Speedway application represents the primary digital customer touchpoint for the Speedway brand under the ownership of 7-Eleven, Inc.. The application is designed to reward frequent visits, support digital mobile checkout, and cross-sell in-store products through its integrated "Speedy Rewards" loyalty engine.
At its core, the application manages the user's loyalty profile, allowing members to earn 10 points per gallon of fuel and 20 points per dollar spent on in-store merchandise. Points are stored in a centralized database and can be redeemed for food coupons, gas discounts, physical products, or entry into digital sweepstakes.
To drive consistent engagement, the application utilizes a highly structured "Monthly Perks" system, where users choose between fuel price rollbacks, bakery reward points, or merchandise point multipliers each month. Additionally, the app features digital punch cards for clubs, rewarding users with a free product after purchasing six hot beverages, fountain drinks, or car washes.
The application also includes practical tools for trip planning and quick transactions. A localized station finder displays nearby Speedway stores and filter options for amenities like diesel fuel, ATMs, and car washes.
Furthermore, users can reload physical or digital "Speedy Cash" pre-paid cards to bypass in-store credit card processing lines. To reduce in-store checkout friction, the app supports Android home-screen widgets, letting users display their rewards barcodes and view local gas prices without launching the full application.
Despite its strong rewards engine, recent software updates have introduced technical issues. Users report frequent app crashes on startup, often requiring forced restarts to open the interface.
Furthermore, mapping and fuel-finder services can be unreliable, occasionally failing to render fuel prices or display nearby stations. Finally, some users face a circular account verification loop when attempting to restore their profiles, locking them out of their accrued points.
