Any experience with Wawa? Do they sell GC's? The one off Hope Chapel just out of Westgate is priced very well. I dont think they even charge more for CC. Anyone know for sure?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Yes they sell gc's. I don't think they sell competitors' gc's. (E.g. other gas station gc's).

They sell ebay, amazon, and many other gc's.

To clarify they sell Wawa GC? Do they allow you to pay with CC? When you buy other GC does it come up as gas to get bonus miles?

They sell wawa gc's but I've never tried to purchase with a cc - (anyways how would that help you? They charge same price for cash and/or cc.)

I was wondering the same thing. I don't have any cc's that give 5x for gas so I can't test it.

To meet CC threshold. I have the Amex Premium Rewards which gives double points.

You paid for the gas at the pump?
I wonder what would happen if I paid for the gas inside?
