Get gas at your own price.
Prices move whether you watch them or not. Name the one you will pay.
Four steps, then you drive.
- 01
Name your price
Pick your fuel, your gallons, and what you will pay per gallon. Your bid never expires on its own.
- 02
A station accepts
Stations nearby decide whether to take it. When one does, your price is locked in.
- 03
Show your code
Walk in and show the code on your phone. The cashier scans it.
- 04
Fill up
The cashier starts your pump. Nothing else to pay. It works like paying with cash, decided in advance.
One RainDrop is one dollar of fuel.
When a station accepts your price you are not buying gallons. You are buying RainDrops: prepaid fuel credit worth one dollar each, good at the station that accepted you.
Now the part most companies bury.
Your RainDrops never lose value. The discount has a window. The money does not. When the window closes your RainDrops still spend at a dollar each, against that day's pump price instead of yours.
You do not lose money. You lose the discount.
Send gas.
RainDrops you are not using can go to someone else. Family, a friend, another driver you know. They show their own code at the same station and fill up.
Customers who already decided to come in.
A driver who locks a price at your station is walking through your door. You are paid when they buy, not when they pump.
Money moves at purchase.
See what drivers near you are willing to pay, then decide.
Redemption happens at your counter.
Lock a price from your phone.
Raincheck is coming to iOS and Android.
Where the name comes from.
A rain check is a promise you are allowed to keep. When a store runs out of something on sale they hand you a slip: come back later, pay the sale price anyway. The price is yours even though the goods are not there yet.
That is the whole idea, moved to fuel.
Two differences worth naming. A grocery rain check cannot be given away, and it works at any of that store's locations. Ours is the reverse. Your RainDrops are tied to the station that accepted your price, and you can send them to anyone.
Raincheck is built and operated by RainCheck Agent LLC.
