Buc-ee's has become a must-stop on every road trip. Even some people travel out of their way to visit the The insanely popular gas station. Some totally get the hype and some, not-so-much. But what if we told you that you could get PAID to visit every Buc-ee's location this summer? A company is offering one lucky family to explore the open road and compare various Buc-ee's locations. Here's how it works.

The Buc-ee's Summer Road Trip Challenge

The sports betting site Betting.us is paying for one person/family to complete the Buc-ee's Road Trip Challenge and visit 5 Buc-ee's locations across the country, savor the delicious food, collect novelties, and make memories to last a lifetime. Okay, that last one was just implied. The ideal candidate would be someone who loves to travel JUST as much as they love Buc-ee's.

The selected participant will receive a travel stipend of $1000 to cover gas and lodging expenses throughout their journey, as well as a $1000 in Buc-ee’s gift cards. If chosen, you will need to visit at least 5 locations and rate the following experiences at each stop:

  1. Food - Purchase and compare the quality and prices of these items: Beaver Nuggets, Brisket Sandwich, Fudge, Kolache, and Jerky.
  2. Merchandise: Purchase at least one piece of Buc-ee’s merchandise at each stop.
  3. Bathrooms: Rate the bathrooms on cleanliness, capacity, and ease of use.
  4. Prices: Compare food, gas, and merchandise prices at various locations.
  5. Crowdedness: Rate the overall wait times, from gas lines to cashier lines, as well as the crowdedness of each establishment.
  6. Staff friendliness: Compare your experience with Buc-ee’s staff customer service.
There's no Buc-ees in Tampa but a tiny town of 800 is getting one! I want my Beaver Nuggets!Geno / Beasley

The winner will also have to stop at other gas stations along the way to compare similar experiences/services to the Buc-ee's experience. Buc-ee's has locations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Colorado, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas.

How To Enter:

You must be at least 18 years old to enter. Some other requirements include, being able to create and share your journey, have some type of travel experience, and a short essay why they would be perfect for the job. The road trip must then be taken by the end of 2024.

I don't get over to Daytona often, but when I was there for a concert, I had to check out the famous Buc-ee's Beaver Nuggets. I'd heard all about the Beaver Nuggets, beef jerky, fudge and other Buc-ee's goodies everyone raves about.

Buc-ee's is like an enormous Walmart. To call it just a gas station is really wrong. It's more like a Walmart with a lot of gas pumps... over 100! And Buc-ee's has lots of stuff to ruin what's left of your New Year's resolution. Here were the things that caught my attention during my first visit at their Daytona location.

Beaver Nuggets

OK I get the Beaver Nuggets thing now. I have a sweet tooth so I get the hype.


Jackpot!

This-was-my-favorite-purchase.jpg

This was my favorite purchase. I like the regular Beaver Nuggets that are sweet. But these were phenomenal.


FRIED Apple Pies

Im-always-down-for-fried-apple-pie.jpg

I'm always down for fried apple pie. It's the biggest menu item I miss at McDonald's. Whenever I get to visit a country where they still serve them like England, it's a must.


Not just sweets...

Brisket-was-decent.jpg

The brisket was decent but honestly not outstanding. I don't think I'd order it a second time.


Fresh chips?

OK-but-not-memorable.jpg

These were OK but not really memorable. I'd pass on these too.


Didnt try the fudge but it looked good.

Gas gas gas as far as the eye can see.

You're not going to have to wait long in line for gas at Buc-ee's. They have EV charging spots now too.
