Do you mean put $1 on the gift card and the rest on Advantage pay?

I usually pay at the pump so I’m not sure. if you use Advantage Pay at the pump, it asks you if you want to use Advantage Pay. If you say yes, it takes the 30c off and you don’t get the option to add another payment type. Not sure if that is the case for prepaid.

If you want to max your savings, use the gift card for other stuff and Advantage pay for gas

I bought the gift card because I needed gas and didn't have money for it. I used points. And no. The exact opposite. I have Advantage Pay and my card was scanned. I just want to know if I would have prepaid that $29 and used $1 with Advantage Pay to make it $30, if the whole transaction would have been 30 cents off.

I'm pretty sure that Advantage Pay is "all or none". So you either pay for all the gas with Advantage Pay or none of it, because if I remember correctly once you with something else, they don't ask if you want put some of it on Advantage Pay.
Maybe try next time ask the cashier if that can be done.

If it ever happens again, I'll pay over what I have and say I want to use Advantage Pay and just refuse another payment type. If they say I can't do that, then that's it. But I told the attendant what my intentions were. The math didn't add up. She called someone after the fact and I left confused. Lol.
