FAIRFAX, VA--May 2, 2011: To express appreciation to customers, ExxonMobil is offering 15 cents off per gallon of gas purchased with a registered Speedpass account, just in time for Memorial Day weekend travel.

“In addition, Speedpass is faster than cash or a credit card, a convenience for our busy customers.”

Beginning today, customers may register their Speedpass at Speedpass Save accounts to earn discounts for a 60-day period when they use their Speedpass devices on fuel purchases at participating Exxon and Mobil stations. Customers will receive their savings, on up to 100 gallons of gas, or $15, in the form of rebates on the credit or check card accounts linked to their Speedpass devices.

Customers must register their Speedpass accounts online by June 30 in order to take advantage of the savings. Customers who do not have a Speedpass are invited to enroll and register online at speedpass.com. Registration and enrollment are free.

"We appreciate the loyalty of our customers, so we're rewarding them with an easy way to save on gas during the travel season," said Chris Mahoney, U.S. branded wholesale manager, ExxonMobil Fuels Marketing Company. "In addition, Speedpass is faster than cash or a credit card, a convenience for our busy customers."

Speedpass is a 'contactless' system of payment. Each Speedpass key tag has a built-in chip and radio frequency antenna that allows it to communicate with Speedpass readers at gasoline pumps, convenience store terminals, and car wash kiosks at Exxon and Mobil stations. A quick wave of a Speedpass key tag in front of the reader initiates the automatic transmission of a unique identification and security code to the Speedpass payment system. Payment is then instantly processed using the linked credit or debit card. Card information, preferences, and personal details are not stored in Speedpass devices, so information is protected from unauthorized use.

Available for consumer accounts only, not business or fleet card accounts. Purchases in New Jersey and Louisiana are not eligible for the cents off per gallon promotion. In those states, ExxonMobil will offer a $20 ExxonMobil gift card for new Speedpass online enrollments between May 2 and June 30, 2011; accounts must be activated by July 31, 2011.
