Apple today sent out emails with new Apple Pay discounts, offering a series of "Road Trip" themed summer deals from companies like HotelTonight, Wawa, Sonic, and more. The discounts are outlined below.

  • HotelTonight - 10% off a hotel reservation when making a purchase in the app with promo code APPLEPAYHT.
  • Jimmy John's - $2 off a sandwich when ordering ahead with Freaky Fast Rewards and Apple Pay.
  • ParkWhiz - $4 off your next four parking reservations of $4 or more using promo code APPLEPAY4.
  • SONIC Drive-In - 50% off a SONIC blast for your next order in app with Apple Pay.
  • Wawa - $5 off when you spend $20 or more using mobile order in app with promo code APPLEPAY.
The summer discounts are available from today through July 13, 2022 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Most of the deals cannot be combined with other offers, and it's worth noting that the Wawa deal excludes gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol purchases.

Summer Road Trip promo when you can't even get any savings on fuel... What's the point then?

At the time when road trips are close to (if not) the most expensive ever, it's nice to think of helping, but these aren't particularly useful. Coming from someone who took a 2500mi road trip last month.
 
Interesting. I've been a card holder since the debut and have never received any promotional emails like this. Must be data driven to those who show some transactions from the listed retailers. I've never purchased anything from the ones above.
 
I mean, I’m a frequent flyer of Jimmy John’s, so that would be my only preference out of that list. Otherwise, there really isn’t much of a savings involved in these discounts.

Yeah same, unless there is a marketing email option I disabled

It's Apple Pay, not Apple Card.
 
Steered clear of Jimmy John's ever since they had the no-compete clause in their employee's minimum wage contracts. Only dropped the practice when taken to court. Nope.
