Effective discount
The real per-gallon savings after monthly fees, transaction fees and out-of-network charges.
Why It Matters
Effective discount affects the difference between an advertised discount and the net price a carrier may actually pay.
What to Check
- Confirm the reference price or rule used to calculate effective discount.
- Check whether the discount has location, product, volume or account-status limits.
- Subtract known fees before treating the discount as savings.
