Martiz - Changing Dates for gas station shops

November 26, 2016 07:24AM
Anyone know if there's a way to change the date of some Maritz gas station shops? I've picked up some last minute ff shops and I could pick up several more gas station shops because they are on my way. Only problem is that I need to move some of the ones I've already scheduled because my car won't hold that much gas. It's only a day difference and when I selected the dates, next week was available too. I just don't know how to change it. I can try calling them tomorrow but I doubt they are there on Saturday.

You have to call them. There is no way to change dates on your own with Maritz. Edit to add: They do work on Saturday.

The team with team 3 that works on the one station is not usually there on a Sat/Sun.
OP: You do know you don't have to fill up to $5 or to the max reimburse if another client, right? If I've done a large bundle, I will often just put $1 or $2 in my car per station. When I first inquired about that, they replied "You can only fuel 10-cents if you want."

I secure 3 five gallon plastic gas containers in the trunk of my car using plastic milk/storage cartons. The gas containers cost @ $20 each but I have used them so often that they more than paid for themselves. I know that some people hesitate to put gas containers in their trunk but I have had no problems, no spillage, no fumes, as they are secure. I can do an additional 6 or 7 stations this way and my wife and son appreciate the free gas.

Thanks! I just decided to go ahead and do them with the less than $5 of gas if I have to. I asked about the gas containers once and was told it was a safety hazard and we were not allowed to use them. Otherwise, I'd already do it since I have a container I occasionally use anyway for other things.

I enjoy putting $5 worth of gas in a complete strangers car. Fun!

There is absolutely nothing in any of their guidelines about it, therefore you are allowed to do it.

I believe it depends on the shop for gas cans. The shops I've qualified for strictly prohibit gas cans. Which is sad, because I always need gas for yard equipment and it always costs at least $5 per can.

I haven't done any gas stations yet but they are plentiful around here. I signed up for one next week so I could start testing things out. I hope I like it because free gas would just make shopping all that much more lucrative for me as I try to get more serious this year and next.

When i get close to topping out I give my car a treat by putting in Supreme instead of regular.

It is reported that your car, which normally takes regular, doesn't appreciate the treat of supreme. Doesn't clean out the engine, only offers higher octane that only high performance engines require.

I had so many to do one day that I filled my car and went home and got my daughter's car and did the rest of the shops with her car. She was happy.
