(Unless they've mysteriously closed most of the registers, requiring you and everyone else to wait in line ten minutes. That happened recently.)
They've added a 25% discount at Burger King when making digital orders since last year. I don't live close enough to one (or like enough of their menu) to use that, but it could be a really good bonus. I rarely use the free deliveries (still need a $35 minimum), but when I needed them they really came in handy. Also, often something you order via shipping (free shipping with no minimum order) ends up being delivered from the local store, but treated like shipping so there's no minimum order. The gas discount is good as well, 10 cents off a gallon can really add up.
On the other hand, while I don't watch much TV I did try out the free Paramount+ membership and... they show way,
way too many ads. I watched a couple of episodes of
Star Trek: Lower Decks that are roughly 30 minutes each. There were pre-roll ads, four ad breaks during each episode and attempted post-roll ads that I skipped by exiting out and starting the next episode manually. I don't consider that a benefit and it amazes me anyone would
pay for the ad-supported tier of Paramount+ when it's that bad. If your ad tolerance is higher maybe it'll be a good benefit for you, though. Also on that gas discount, I have yet to find a single Exxon or Mobile station in my area that participates. That means I always miss out when they do a promo doubling the gas discount, since the doubling doesn't happen at Murphy stations.
Still, at $49 a year it's a good deal and worth considering.
Here's
a full list of the benefits it provides.
