(Grain Valley, Mo., Feb. 17, 2010) – The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA) has announced an unprecedented new benefit courtesy of TravelCenters of America and Petro Stopping Centers.  “Restaurant Bucks” are now available to active OOIDA members by redeeming a mail-in offer form and enclosing fuel receipts from participating TA and Petro locations.

Active OOIDA members can qualify to receive 25, 50 or 100 “Restaurant Bucks” in correlation with the amount of fuel purchased at participating locations during the months of February, March and April, 2010.   “Restaurant Bucks” promotional cards will be issued for fuel purchased during three separate qualifying periods when a mail-in form is sent along with required fuel receipts. 

Purchases of 500 to 999 gallons of fuel can qualify to receive 25 “Restaurant Bucks”; purchases of 1,000 to 1,999 gallons qualify for 50; and for 2,000 plus gallons, qualify for 100 “Restaurant Bucks.  These cards can be used at any participating TA or Petro full-service restaurant.

It's easy, with three easy steps.  Step 1.  Fill up at your convenient TA or Petro fuel islands.  Step 2.  Save your receipts.  Step 3.  When you have enough volume to earn a prize, send in your receipts and completed mail in form and copies of invoices to OMNI, Attention TA/Petro Restaurant Bucks Promotion, 495 Mansfield Ave., Pittsburgh, PA 15205.
