7 RaceTrac Perks Georgians Forfeit by Not Signing Up for Its Rewards Program
Georgia drivers paid $3.81 for a regular gallon of gas in late August 2026, 92 cents more than the same week a year earlier.
Many never download the RaceTrac Rewards app to help save money and receive free perks.
These are the RaceTrac benefits Georgians could be getting by signing up for its Rewards program.
1. Free Birthday Treat and Sign-Up Coupons
RaceTrac hands new Rewards members several perks before they spend a single dollar.
Signing up costs nothing, and it takes about as long as pumping a tank of gas.
A driver can download the app, text JOIN to 24746, or just enter a phone number at the register or the pump.
Once that account exists, RaceTrac loads it with exclusive coupons and a free birthday treat, no minimum purchase required.
No catch.
The birthday treat alone is worth signing up for.
Drivers skip sign-up for the same reason people skip any new app: It feels like one more login nobody asked for.
This login pays for itself the first time it’s used.
2. Free Drink That Grows With Your Points
RaceTrac’s free Rewards tier turns steady shoppers into daily winners once their points add up.
Members earn 4 points per dollar spent in-store and 1 point per gallon at the pump, with the free-drink frequency increasing from monthly at 150 points to daily at 4,000.
That’s a free drink, daily.
A driver who reaches that top tier keeps it through the rest of the year and into the next, as long as points keep coming in each January.
RaceTrac clears out any points that sit unused for a year.
3. RaceTrac Rewards VIP
RaceTrac Rewards VIP is a paid upgrade to the free program, and it costs $2.49 a month.
VIP members save 10 cents a gallon on their first 40 gallons every month, then 3 cents a gallon on everything after that.
Ten cents doesn’t sound like much at the register.
It’s not nothing, though.
It adds up fast for anyone commuting the Perimeter or driving I-75 into Atlanta every weekday.
The subscription renews automatically, and a driver can cancel it anytime without losing any points already earned.
Fuel purchases still earn Rewards points on top of the discount, so the two programs never cancel each other out.
4. Linking Your Rewards + Debit Card
RaceTrac’s Rewards + Debit Card knocks cents off every gallon the moment a driver links a bank account to it.
That discount runs 7 cents a gallon on every fill-up, without the monthly cap VIP carries.
There’s no subscription fee, either.
A driver picks up the physical card in-store, registers it online, and links a checking account to start saving.
Skip the bank link, and the same card still works as a plain Rewards loyalty card, just without the extra 7 cents.
A driver filling up along I-75 outside Atlanta pays the exact same posted price as someone who’s never heard of the card at all.
5. Free Monster Energy and 25 Cents off Gas
RaceTrac is running a Monster Energy promotion for Rewards members that pays out twice: A free can and cheaper gas from the same trip.
Buy three 15.5- or 16-ounce Monster Energy drinks, or two, since the third rings up free, and RaceTrac knocks 25 cents off the next gallon of gas, tied to the phone number or app already linked to the account.
That’s the whole trade.
The offer runs through November 3, 2026, though RaceTrac gives Rewards members until November 30 to redeem the fuel discount already loaded to their account.
RaceTrac caps the fuel discount at one per transaction and one redemption a day, so a single big Monster run doesn’t multiply the savings.
RaceTrac’s Monster Deal Runs on Two Different Deadlines
RaceTrac splits this Monster Energy promotion into two windows that don’t match, and that’s what trips up members who wait too long.
The buy-three window closes November 3, 2026, and no purchase after that date earns the fuel discount or the free can.
Members who bought in time still have until November 30, 2026, to redeem the 25-cents-off fuel coupon already sitting in their account.
6. First Responder Free-Drink Perk
RaceTrac verifies first responders, military members, and teachers through a service called ID.me, and the payoff skips the point tiers entirely.
A verified first responder gets a free any-size fountain drink, frozen drink, or coffee every day, whether or not they’ve earned a single point that week.
The offer never runs out.
Verification happens once, inside the Rewards app, by answering a few questions ID.me uses to confirm employment or service.
RaceTrac extends that same verification flow to nurses, medical professionals, and students too, each with their own community offer.
Many Georgia first responders already have a Rewards account and simply never finish that one extra step.

7. Free Swirl World Every Braves Home Run
RaceTrac ties one of its biggest perks to the Atlanta Braves, not to anything a driver buys at all.
Every time the Braves hit a home run this season, RaceTrac credits a free small Swirl World to Rewards members in Georgia, along with members in Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
That credit lands in the app the next day, not the moment the ball clears the fence, and a member redeems it there.
One homer earns one treat.
Nothing else has to happen first, no purchase, no minimum tier, just a Rewards account a driver already downloaded to their phone.
RaceTrac and the Braves have run that partnership since 2014, long before Home Run Innings existed.
RaceTrac credits that free Swirl World the same way to every Rewards account in those five states, whether the fan watched from Truist Park or a couch a hundred miles away.
5 Lidl Bakery Finds Georgia Shoppers Grab Before They Sell Out
Lidl prices its butter croissant at 49 cents, and that number hasn’t moved in years.
The catch is timing. Georgia’s Lidl bakery cases empty out fast enough that a late-afternoon run can mean picking through whatever’s left.
