Circle K's Inner Circle is free, and it takes 5¢ off every gallon, every day. New members get a better deal first: 25¢ a gallon off your first five fuel visits, on up to 35 gallons each.
On top of that, Circle K runs occasional Fuel Day events at 40¢ a gallon off. The next one Circle K has published is Thursday, September 24, 2026, 12:01am to 11:59pm local time, all fuel grades including diesel, 35 gallons per transaction, Inner Circle members only. It runs at company-operated and select franchise locations in California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington. Circle K lists the participating stores on its Fuel Day page.
How to sign up
Three free ways, per Circle K's Inner Circle page: download the Circle K app, join online at inner-circle.circlek.com with no app at all, or text VISIT to 25050. Message and data rates apply.
At the pump, enter your mobile number before you start the transaction.
How to stack it
Easy Pay stacks. Easy Pay is a Circle K card that pulls money straight from your checking account. Circle K says the two programs "work together seamlessly, with stacked discounts." Easy Pay's own published rate is 30¢ a gallon for the first 60 days or 100 gallons, then at least 10¢ a gallon after that.
Fuel Day does not stack with the other Inner Circle offers. Circle K states this outright: the Fuel Day offer "does not stack with any other Inner Circle fuel offers (i.e. initial enrollment offer, everyday fuel discount)." So on Fuel Day you get 40¢, not 45¢. Easy Pay card discounts do stack with Fuel Day.
Circle K has published nothing about cashback apps or outside credit cards. Treat that as unknown, not as permission.
Watch-outs
35 gallons per transaction. That is the published cap on fuel discounts. At 40¢ on Fuel Day, 35 gallons is $14 saved — worth planning a fill around, not worth a long detour.
A "visit" needs 5 gallons. A qualifying fuel visit requires buying at least 5 gallons. You can earn up to 5 visits a day, and visits expire six months after you earn them. This matters for the 25¢ welcome offer, which is spent in visits rather than days.
The everyday 5¢ has an end date on it. Circle K publishes the current 5¢ promotion as running through October 31. It has been renewed before, but check the Inner Circle page rather than assuming.
A tiered rate has been reported but not confirmed. KRIS 6 News in Corpus Christi, read 22 September 2026, describes the everyday discount as 3¢ a gallon for members who spend under $500 a year on Circle K fuel and 5¢ at $500 and above. That tier structure does not appear on Circle K's current Inner Circle page. One local station, unconfirmed at source.
Member price vs. the sign price
Circle K posts one street price. The Inner Circle discount comes off that price at the pump once you enter your mobile number or swipe Easy Pay, so members and non-members read the same sign.
