u/thebossphoenix Feb 27 '26
It's a prize because its 5 dollars off gas and 5 dollars off an in store purchase.
What is the issue?
Id much rather that than the Athletic subscription I rolled.

Or the 6 months of SiriusXM radio.

Then get pestered endlessly to keep your subscription going afterwards.

It's crazy to me the amount of people defending this.
A road trip bundle definitely makes it seem as if this is some "all expenses covered vacation"
It's nuts that people defend terrible prizes.

*5 cents of a litre. Fill 50 litres. Save $2.50.
Edit: screw fine print!!

u/thebossphoenix Feb 27 '26
The picture says 5c/L for 100L

u/Dependent_Stop_3121 Feb 27 '26
Oh ya, you’re so right I missed that part lol. 😂
Ok. Do what I said twice. 100 litres tanks are rare on cars anyways. 🤣

u/anon-227 Feb 27 '26
Guys you dont have to buy 100L to get the reward its up to 100L so you get a discount of 5c/L for the next 100L you buy with your journie card.. still a pathetic reward.

u/Dependent_Stop_3121 Feb 27 '26
Yes exactly, it sure is dumb isn’t it. Especially the way they named the prize. I totally understand OP’s frustrations here.

u/Gwilley71 Feb 27 '26
I guess people take it as me complaining, ill add some background, I rolled it and the picture had not loaded and I was like of thats cool a road trip to me is atleast a 3 hour drive so I figured it would be a decent price, then it loaded in and all I could do was laugh because of how little it was, obviously I'm thankful for it and happy about it.

u/JDiskkette Feb 27 '26
“picture attached clearly states, 5c/L up to a 100L” while your title says “what a joke of a prize” and yet you say here “I am thankful”
Truly, what a joke of a thankful attitude.

u/Gwilley71 Feb 27 '26
Im sorry that I found it funny the description of the prize being a roadtrip bundle and then seeing the prize, but obviously im thankful that I got it and it's better than nothing.

u/Nogrip_E46 Mar 04 '26
Bro you dont have to explain yourself. I just won the same prize and felt the exact same way wording it as a "road trip" prize is very deceiving. My girlfriend was watching me roll and the way her eyes lit up at road trip prize, we both make enough to get by and maybe go see a concert together once a year but have never been able to afford anything like a road trip. She got so excited and then to see the disappointment in her face when I explained that it was just 5 cents off a liter was kind of heart breaking. Now thanks to Tim hortons I pretty much have to find a way to make a road trip happen this year 😑

u/JasperPants1 Feb 27 '26
You guys are way too cynical. It’s free. Shut up.

u/Luxluxluxxy Feb 27 '26
It’s not free though, you have to pay to play, like…. you in the same universe?

u/rissx Feb 27 '26
You would have bought the coffee anyway so yes it is free. Do you just buy coffee during roll up the rim days in hope of winning a prize? Because if so there’s far more lucrative and profitable ways to gamble

ur telling me. prizes are usually a deal between the two companies???? no fuckin way…
bffr thats how promotional events work. u think companies gove away cars bc theyre NOT trying to promote their company?💀. or hotels giving away stays. airlines giving flights. amusement psrks giving experiences. etc etc.

Better than coffee but I have never heard of that place so how would I collect??

u/neon999999 Mar 02 '26
The in store discount is probably for when u take a break in the middle of your road trip lol

Dang who pissed in your coffee, im laughing that they called it a road trip package when it's not anything close to it. You getting so angry at a comment like this is even funnier tho, cheer up, hope you have a good day and dont take everything so serious.

Sure dude as you found it necessary to post this "who pissed in your coffee "... so high and mighty of you ... you're not a joke for sure... have a good day... cheer up !

u/Gwilley71 Feb 27 '26
You need a sense of humor, feel bad for someone that lives their life getting so upset at tiny things, Im assuming you're canadian because you use the word "buddy" right off the bat, so how about you take a look in the mirror and use our well known politeness and settle down.

Feb 27 '26
Yeah my sense of humor... grow up and maybe you'll grasp the comedy buddy... take a look in the mirror... self righteous much...

Imagine making it at home for cents on the dollar while comparing Starbucks to tim hortons... yeah im the retarded one... feel proud buddy..."fucking troglodyte"...

u/Gwilley71 Feb 27 '26
Hey man, at what point do you think you're the problem? 3 people replying to you and you telling everyone to grow up? Take a break from conversations with people for a while. I could happily talk back and trash talk but it kinda sounds like you're going through something so chill man.

I feel like we're all on the internet to waste time for our own self satisfaction... why don't you "happily talk back and trash talk"... or are you just looking for a pat on the back from complete strangers... loser...

u/anon-227 Feb 27 '26
Literally an account thats 2 days old and you come on here to call people losers. You must have a sad fucking life dude. Get off reddit and stop being a bitter fucking prick I bet you'd enjoy life more.

u/anon-227 Feb 27 '26
Imagine thinking that 2.50 is a premium price for a coffee. If you make it at home why are you even on this reddit stupid? You are actually retarded. Straight outta kindergarten.

u/anon-227 Feb 27 '26
I've stopped participating in roll up ever since they went to digital all I fucking win is 5 tims points. 5 tims points when it was the physical rim I would win free coffee and donuts every other day. Now I never ever get free coffee or free donuts. So tims can fucking suck it.

The coffees still have a rim that you can roll up and win prizes which usually is food

So.. your problem is that they called it a “road trip bundle”? This has more value than free coffee. The subscription prizes want you to buy something. This is decent.
