How it Works
After you've opted in your cell phone number, Meijer will send a
text message confirming your request to join. When Meijer anticipates
a need to increase the price of gas due to the rise in cost, Meijer
will send a text message to your cell phone, usually before noon.
The text message will tell you when the price of gas at Meijer will
be going up early that afternoon. The message will usually allow
you about two hours to get to a Meijer gas station before the price
goes up at the pump.
* Excludes diesel, kerosene and racing fuel. Standard text messaging
rates from your wireless carrier apply. Contingent upon service
availability.
