More likely getting data on your usage in some part, or most likely, pushing notifications reminding you about the particular brand, so you'll keep spending the money there.

Then the app gets no notification permissions.

Also why does a gas station app need to send notifications? :)

Yes, that's what a "bonus/loyalty program" is.

To tell you the gas prices are low?

(Don't know for sure, wouldn't use one myself.)

More likely to tell you to come in and buy a half price slushie, and hopefully grab a bag of chips too. Which is probably where they make their real profit.
