What is the Volume Discount Program?
The Volume Discount Program provides PIKEPASS customers an
additional 5% discount on their toll charges when they have 20 or
more qualifying toll transactions, per each tag on account, in any
given month. The additional 5% credit will reflect on the following
month’s statement. For example, you charge 20 qualifying toll
transactions to one PIKEPASS tag on your account during January.
The additional 5% credit will reflect on your February statement,
received in March.
Who is eligible for the Volume Discount Program?
All PIKEPASS customer accounts receiving the PIKEPASS rate are
eligible for the Volume Discount Program. Your PIKEPASS account
must maintain a positive account balance during the month for each
toll transaction to qualify for the additional discount. Accounts
maintaining a negative balance for 14 days or suspended accounts
will not qualify transactions for the additional discount.
Cash Rate accounts are not eligible for the Volume Discount
Program.
What is a “qualifying transaction”?
Any toll transaction receiving the PIKEPASS rate is classified as
a “qualifying transaction”. If your account balance remains
negative for 14 days, your toll transactions will be charged to your
account at the specified cash rate. These transactions do not
receive the PIKEPASS rate, and therefore are classified as
“non-qualifying” transactions and are ineligible for the additional
discount computation of 20 or more toll transactions during the
month. As well, if your account is suspended, you will not be
eligible for the additional discount.
Payment to your account establishing a positive balance at any
time during the month will then qualify any remaining transactions
charged to your PIKEPASS tag for that month. The toll charges
incurred to your account while your account was negative will not
qualify for the additional discount. Any toll transactions charged
to your account during a month, prior to your account maintaining a
negative balance for 14 days will also qualify for the additional
discount computation. Basically, any transactions while maintaining
your account in a good status will qualify for the additional 5%
discount computation.
Is the discount per PIKEPASS or per account?
The additional 5% discount is calculated per PIKEPASS tag, not
account. This means each PIKEPASS tag on your account that incurs
20 or more qualifying toll transactions in any month will receive
the additional 5% discount for those specific tolls. Any PIKEPASS
tag that does not incur the minimum 20 qualifying toll transactions
during a month will not receive the additional 5% discount for those
specific tolls.
To maximize your discount potential, it is important you maintain
as few PIKEPASS tags as necessary on your account. By utilizing the
same PIKEPASS each time, you will increase your opportunity to
receive the additional 5% discount each month. For assistance in
consolidating the number of PIKEPASS tags on your account, please
contact the
Customer Service Center.
Why has the PIKEPASS discount been reduced to 5% instead of the
original 10% prior to the toll rate increase?
In order to pay the debt service requirement from the sale of
bonds utilized to construct the extension projects on the Creek
Turnpike in Tulsa, the Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City and the
H.E. Bailey Turnpike in Norman, the road package was developed with
and contingent upon a toll rate increase effective January 1, 2001.
PIKEPASS customers with 20 or more qualifying toll transactions
per month, per PIKEPASS tag, will receive the additional 5% discount
with our Volume Discount Program and the discounted rate remains the
same.
Why should frequent PIKEPASS users receive a higher discount than
the occasional user?
Inventory costs increase when PIKEPASS tags are not used
frequently. This program has also been designed to reward the
frequent user with an additional savings for the increased traffic
provided to the Oklahoma Turnpike System and assist the customer to
offset the toll rate increase.
If I recycle my PIKEPASS tag during the month and between the two
tags I have 20 transactions, but less than 20 transactions are totaled
on each individual PIKEPASS tag; will I still receive the discount?
Unfortunately, at this time, the system will not automatically
match the two tags, recognizing one has replaced the other.
Therefore, your statement will not reflect the additional 5%
discount. You may call the PIKEPASS Customer Service Center so that
your account can be evaluated to see if the additional 5% discount
should apply. If applicable, your account will be credited the
appropriate amount.
