GRAND RAPIDS — Meijer Inc. announced Tuesday plans to cut prices at the gas pump 10 cents per gallon this summer for customers using Meijer consumer credit cards.

The program, which begins June 1 and runs through Labor Day at all 165 Meijer gas stations, includes all grades of gas, as well as diesel, E85 Ethanol and bio-diesel.

The savings will be immediately reflected on the gas pump total. This new program replaces the five cent per gallon discount Meijer customers have previously received when using their Meijer consumer credit card.

"All of us have felt the effects of constantly rising prices at the gas pump," said Brian Horsford, Meijer gas stations director. "As gas has taken a bigger bite out of household budgets, we wanted to introduce a program that helps ease the burden, especially during this time of year when vacations and other family trips are so common."

Drivers can pay at the pump or pay within the gas station with their Meijer consumer credit card to realize the 10 cents per gallon savings. There is no minimum fuel purchase requirement and the discount is valid at all Meijer gas stations and C-Stops.

There is no annual fee for the Meijer consumer credit card. The discount applies to both the Meijer store card and the Meijer Platinum MasterCard. The Meijer Productivity Business Card, Meijer Fleet Card, and Meijer Prepaid MasterCard are not eligible for the discount.

Customers can apply for the Meijer consumer credit card at any Meijer store or at http://www.meijer.com.
