PayPal Teams Up With Gas Station Chain On A Payment App And Fuel Discounts

cumbyThere's no shortage of apps that help people find cheap gas these days, but apps that let you pay for it? And ones that give you a discount for doing it? Sign me up. Regional gas station/convenience store chain Cumberland Farms has done just that with their new SmartPay app, which in addition to letting users pay without leaving their seats, offers them a $.05 cent/gallon discount.Here's how it all goes down: once a driver signs in with a PayPal account, they can pull into a supported Cumberland Farms location and fire up the iOS/Android app or the mobile website. From there, the app uses the device's GPS to hone in on the gas station they're parked at, users punch in their pump number and voila -- their gas charges are sent to PayPal, and users get an email receipt.
