Amazon Prime members can save $1 per gallon of gas

The ability to save money on gas is one of many deals shoppers can snag ahead of the Amazon Prime Day sales event. Amazon Prime members, who are some of over 60 million drivers set to travel during the Fourth of July weekend, can save $1 per gallon of gas at participating locations from July 3 to July 6. Prime members can use this deal at one of more than 7,500 Amoco, BP and other participating locations nationwide, ahead of the Prime Day sales event from July 8 to July 11. Drivers can access the Earnify app's store locator for nearest locations, and redeem the offer by typing in a phone number or linked payment, or by selecting the gas station and pump being used in the app. In addition to this deal, Prime members can continue to receive a 10-cent-per-gallon discount every day at participating locations. Shoppers who aren't interested in gas saving can check out other early offerings , including a three-month free trial of Audible. Amazon Prime Day is available for all shoppers who don't mind spending $14.99 a month or $139 a year on a membership, but you can also sign up for a free 30 day trial which will give you access to all the deals. Young adults and government assisted shoppers could be eligible for discounts. Today, the event is accessible in over 20 countries, and after racking in $14.2 billion in revenue last year, the company expects high earnings in what will be its first-ever four-day Prime Day from July 8 to July 11. Other benefits of a Prime membership include free same-day and next-day deliveries, Whole Foods discounts, and free Grubhub+ memberships. But it comes as thousands of shoppers have recently been turning away from Prime memberships despite the event hype. The service has been cutting some perks, including axing Amazon Today from various neighborhoods, eliminating its Try Before You Buy service , and raising the price of Amazon Music Unlimited subscriptions . While the company is expanding same-day and next day delivery to over 4,000 small cities, towns, and rural communities, some customers have begun exploring the idea of deactivating Prime in favor of Target 360 memberships. Prime Day comes after Amazon sent a grim warning of potential price hikes from tariffs . Experts have also predicted that the company could raise Prime memberships by $20 next year .

UK's Wise seeks to create national trust bank in US

July 2 (Reuters) - Money transfer company Wise Plc (WISEa.L), opens new tab has applied to be directly regulated by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to create a national trust bank in the United States, according to an official document. An OCC document dated June 16 showed Wise seeking approval to operate as a nondepository trust bank in the U.S., a move first reported by Bloomberg News on Wednesday. If the application is approved, Wise would be able to bypass intermediary banks and settle U.S. dollar payments directly with the Federal Reserve, potentially cutting costs, speeding up transfers and giving it tighter control over its largest currency flow. It will also be a step toward deeper integration into the U.S. financial system. Trust banks can offer limited financial services. Wise, which made its debut on the London market in 2021, is planning to move its primary listing to the U.S. from London. The company's U.S. hub will be in Austin, Texas, where the firm already has about 450 staff.
