I just put about 4500 miles on and did NOT have to use the RV pumps to get either the discount or start the pump at either Pilot or Flying J. My card was registered on the web site as the instructions indicated and once that is done, you get pump start. The pain is, some places let you pump, but you still have to go in to pay. Some take your credit card at the pump...but if you want a receipt you still have to go in.

Many of the stations I have been at don't have room for me to use the RV islands without backing out, which I can't do with the toad, so I always use the truck islands. They usually have faster pumps too...
