The gas station-tracking app GasBuddy recently partnered with the motor fuels retailer Corner Store to launch a holiday promotion called 'Tanks'giving,' which aims to help travelers make their way home for Thanksgiving.
The Tanks'giving promotion is a holiday campaign that involves giving away thousands of gallons of free gas to people across the US. To take advantage of the promotion, drivers with a profile on the Gas Buddy app will be able to redeem up to $20 worth of free fuel at select Corner Store locations. The promotion will begin in Phoenix, Arizona, and then gradually move across the country.
The special campaign is designed to promote use of the Gas Buddy app and Corner Store's services by capitalizing on the millions of people hitting the road to visit loved ones over Thanksgiving. As Corner Store's VP of Marketing Peter Brodnitz explains, "With GasBuddy, we will be able to help our loyal Corner Store customers fill up on fuel during the holiday season."
