You can prepay inside using Advantage Pay.

From what I understand OP only had a couple bucks in his bank account that’s linked up his Advantage Pay. So he paid with a gift card. The question is if he added another dollars worth and paid that dollar on Advantage Pay, would he get the 30 cent discount applied to all the gas?

I'm so confused. Advantage pay discount only comes when you use advantage pay. Op would need to put $$ in the debit account or be prepared to get an overdraft fee

OP wanted to pay most of it with the gift card, but put just $1 on Advantage pay to trigger the 30cent per gallon discount.

The question is, would that discount apply to the whole purchase.

No. If it's a 30 cent advantage pay discount then it's just on the advantage pay part. You can't use advantage pay with multiple payment methods. You'd need a 2nd transaction for any other payment method.

Also the getgo by me only has a 15 cent advantage pay discount. I be surprised if it's 30 cents anywhere though the person may be getting confused with the 30 cents off of gas through fuel perks. GetGo seems to make their advantage pay discount comparable to a 4% credit card, gas money back type offer.

You're correct. I was just trying to reframe the question as posed by OP.

I stated in other comments that I'm pretty sure Advantage Pay has to cover the entire purchase.

I've seen 25c discounts for advantage pay. I suspect they are using that as a type of loss leader to get people to sign up. Because ~15 cents would probably be the break even.

When I initially signed up they did give an additional 30c off per gallon for, I think it was a month.
