ExxonMobil has rolled out a dispenser program for next year with a higher
rebate designed to encourage marketers to upgrade to pumps that accept chip
payment cards, according to branded wholesalers.

Gas stations must install point-of-sale equipment at the fuel islands that
complies with the Europay Mastercard Visa technology standards for chip cards
by Oct. 1, 2020 in order to avoid assuming liability for counterfeit card
fraud. Under its 2020 Gilbarco Pump Dispenser Program, which applies to both
new gasoline and diesel dispensers, ExxonMobil is offering a $2,400 rebate on
equipment orders placed prior to Oct. 1, 2020. Earlier this year, the major
promoted pump upgrades with a $2,000 discount on Gilbarco Encore 700S fuel
dispensers with FlexPay Hybrid Card Readers and contactless card readers.

Next year's program includes Catlow hanging hardware in the purchase price.
Contactless payment is included as standard, though an HD meter is offered as
an option. As ExxonMobil's promotion did earlier this year, the 2020 package
includes one year of InSite 360 Premium Level Remote Management and a $1,000
discount on Passport POS system when bundled with the dispenser purchase.

This year's program offers $1,000 savings on Alphanumeric PIN Pad with new UF
Diesel unit EMV retrofit kits. The kits apply to the Advantage and Encore 300,
500, 500S and 700S dispensers.

ExxonMobil told marketers the rebate program is subject to budget availability.
