Marathon Gas
 

We always try to buy gas cards when Publix offers them at a discount with purchase. It appears that the local Marathon stations have all become Circle K now and we’re left with $300 in gas cards that are unusable locally. Just curious if anyone else is in the same boat or has any suggestions.

Any relatives/friends have those stations?

The stations at Pinellas and near Rohan still appear to be Marathons.

As of last week Lake Deaton was displaying Circle K. I also tried a Marathon gas card there but it didn’t recognize it. The internet shows a Marathon station opposite Rural King on 27/441 and another one on SR 44 near I-75.

Marathon has also devalued the cents per gallon off to almost nothing. Likely need to use on interstate exits. Check gas Buddy.com

Pinellas is/has been displaying the Circle K sign for about a week now, possibly more? I can't get it to take my credit card, so I went to 7-11 for Non-Ethanol Gas.

Fake news 😉

Circle K gas - taking over
 

Circle K created a monopoly. Take over Shell and Marathon. I was getting 10 or 15 cents off per gallon weekly at Shell stations through my T-mobile phone account, but CIRCLE K bought them up. Now, the nearest Shell station I found is in Leesburg!

Circle K and 7-11 saturating the market. Convenience stores want to get you inside. That is the profit center.

Never heard of refunds on gift cards. Rampant fraud already exists. Treated as cash by vendor.

You can try to sell to Raise or cash card but it’s at a discount

There is a Marathon station on the corner of 301 and 42. We had the same problem.

I guess you mean Shell? All the Marathons are still Marathon but some Shell are Circle K.

Sadly that’s not true. Both the Marathons at Rohan and Pinellas are now Circle K.
