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.
Drivers can access the deal by linking their Prime membership to Earnify, the BP loyalty program.
Once that is linked, they will receive the discount on one fuel purchase of up to 35 gallons of gas.
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.

Customers can sign up for a free 30 day trial, giving them access to this discount without paying a cent.

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.
Launched in 2015, Prime Day lasted for 24 hours that July in nine countries, including the US, the UK, and Canada.
It became one of Amazon's most popular events, leading the company to add an October Prime Day in 2017.
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.
Amazon's annual Prime Day sales event will launch on July 8 and end on July 11
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.
JPMorgan analyst Douglas Anmuth forecast that Amazon customers may need to pay $159 instead of the usual $139 annually for a Prime membership starting next year.
The prediction is based on Amazon's pattern of raising prices on significant features every four years.
'A $20 U.S. Prime price increase is seen driving about $3 billion in incremental annualized net sales,' Anmuth wrote in a note via TheStreet.
The e-commerce giant will release its second quarter results on August 1.
