PILOT FLYINGJ Discount Fueling Procedures - (5/5/11)
Pilot Flying J recently provided updated information about how consumers receive the fuel discounts at the different fueling lanes found at its 550 locations throughout North America.
Follow the detailed proocedures to be sure you receive your discount at any lane, any time.
Frequent Fueler Advantage loyalty program card holders will always receive the cash price and 3 cents per gallon off diesel fuel and 2 cents per gallon off gasoline at any Pilot or Flying J.
However, the process to receive the discount varies depending on the fueling lane that is used.
RV or Regular Auto Lanes: Insert your credit card first at the pump, and then insert your loyalty card second at the pump.
Truck Diesel Lanes: Insert only the loyalty card at the pump to enable it to start.
Do not insert any other card, such as a credit card, at the pump or the transaction will fail.
Pump the fuel, hang up the nozzle, pull forward, and go inside to pay.
Even if the transaction is paid for with a credit card inside the store, the customer will still receive the cash price and 3 cents per gallon discount.
All Pilot Flying J loyalty cards, regardless of their age, can be used to receive the discount.
Just make sure to register the card at www.frequentfueleradvantage.com or at cashier desks and kiosks at Pilot and Flying J locations.

Indiana driver's license or identification card. - (7/8/09)
Andy Miller, Commissioner, Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced the following changes that will take effect on January 1, 2010, concerning the documentation necessary to obtain a driver's license or state-issued identification card.
The program, called "SecureID," allows Indiana to comply with recommendations from the 9/11 Commission Report and will improve the BMV's ability to protect your identity from theft and fraud.
Beginning January 1, 2010, every person renewing, replacing or applying for a new driver's license or identification card will be required to present documentation proving his or her:
Identity. An original or certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate or a U.S. passport will meet this requirement.
If you are a foreign national, a U.S. immigration document, such as foreign passport with a Visa and an I-94 form issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is acceptable.
Social Security number. A Social Security card, a W-2, tax form, an SSA-1099 form, or a pay stub showing the name and Social Security number on it will meet the requirement.
Lawful status. Again, an original or certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate or a U.S. passport satisfies this requirement.
If you are a foreign national, a U.S. immigration document, such as foreign passport with a Visa and an I-94 form issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is acceptable.
Residency. Two recent statements from a utility company, bank, credit card company, doctor or hospital showing name and residence address.
Computer-generated bills are acceptable.
If you do not have a copy of your birth certificate, contact the health department in the state where you were born and request an official copy.
Indiana county health departments can be found here.
A change in the name listed on your birth certificate requires additional items to be brought in - such as a marriage license.
Those who have been through multiple name changes because of marriage, divorce or adoption must show proof of each name change.
After you present all documents, you will receive an interim license at the BMV branch.
You will receive your permanent license or identification card within 10 business days.
It will be mailed from a secure, government-run facility to your mailing address.
This added step is to provide yet another layer of protection of your identity.
If your driver's license expires in 2011 or later, it is valid until the normal expiration date.
You do not need to come into the license branch any earlier.
If you are updating your name or address before the expiration date, you will have to bring all of the required documentation to the license branch.
To learn more about SecureID, please visit myBMV.IN.gov.
Also, if you do not have a myBMV account, please sign-up for one here.
A myBMV account allows you to conduct many regular transactions online at your convenience.
The service is free and your information is confidential and will not be shared with third parties.
