Important considerations

• Manufacturer Multi-Pack promotions on Gilbarco Passport registers only apply to quantities that match the pack’s specified promotional units. Any additional units will be sold at regular price.

For example, with a "buy 2, get $1 off" promotion, purchasing 5 units means the discount applies to 4 units (two sets of 2). The remaining 1 unit will be sold at full price.
