Best Gas Credit Cards

Gas credit cards are a great way to save energy and money at the fuel pump. Gas rebate cards usually pay 3% to 5% cashback rewards on gas, depending on the bank that issues the card. Your cash back savings are added up until you obtain about $50 credits. At that point, you can request a check from your credit card company for a rebate.

Chase Freedom(SM)

Not just good for gas purchases, this card lets you earn 3% bonus cash back on gas, department store purchases and home improvement stores also. There is currently a 0% introductory APR as well.

Acceptability is a big issue with gas credit cards, so don’t just look at what your local garage accepts but at what 90% of the garages you are likely to fill up in accept. American Express is obviously an option in Southern California, but its going to be local.

What I really like about this selection is that it all three cards are genuine cash back cards. If you look on the internet for gas credit cards many of them are merely rewards cards that offer you money off your gas next time you purchase it.

I had noticed that there is a gas credit card called Chase PerfectCard, which offers six percent rebate upto ninety days of use. Ofcourse after this period the six percent will become one percent but 1% rebate not only on gas purchases but also on other purchases. The APR on balance transfer is 0% for nine months and after that it may be more than 14% depending on your credit score.

Also no annual fee for the first year. To waive it for the second year you have make atlest nine purchase with this gas credit card for the year. Great isn’t it. It seems to have something with the number 9 for this credit card.

Marathon gas credit card is also similar to the previous one i mentioned above. But its rebate is 10% for the first sixty days. After that 1%. Annual fee $20. Balance transfer with zero apr for first nine months. After that period it can be waived with at least nine purchases in a year. No annual fee for the first year. Rates can be 14% depending on credit score.

American Express gives unlimited rebates, which is great.

Discover has changed the rules many times over the years and is now down to 5% back on only the first $100 spent each month. With the price of gasoline and automotive repairs, this is not so good.

Discover Card deal has its limitations, which have become more restrictive as time has gone by. Yearly limit for purchases eligible for 5% rebate is $1200. In addition only $100 per month of purchases are eligible for 5% rebate, so if you have a $600 car repair only the first $100 gets the 5% even if that’s all you put on the card all year. Who spends less than $100 per month on gas at today’s prices?

The consumer needs to have several of these 5% cards and be selective which they use and when to take full advantage.

We’ve had BP Gas cards, and they deliver! Hundreds in either gas gift cards and/or even checks. One of the best cards I’ve ever had, esp. w/ the gas prices these days.

I’ld like to see that the person (persons) who pick these cards as the best gas cards, also have some courage to go through some details and reveal it for it trustworthy readers who at times blindly accept these claims and apply prompltly for such cards! as Discover Gas card holder for the past 6 years i’ld like to share with you this simple fact: you will eard 5% cashback on your fisrt $1200 total purchase only. if your first total $1200 purchase inculde another category other than gas or car repair or parts, like grocery, after passing $1200 mark you will only earn 1% on gas! so if you spend your first $1200 on gas only you can earn $60 max! if you pleased with this go ahead and happily apply for it but read and know the fineprints. a like Discover supperior customer service and that’s why i’ve been with them so long, but as far as reward goes they’re simply not in my top 4 list. Chase Cash Plus rewards ( no longer available ), Wamu’s new reward card, and Advanta’s original business reward card (not the new offer) are among the best offers I’ve seen so far.

My best gasoline credit card is the Shell MasterCard 5% cash back issued through CitiBank. CitiBank actually gives you your rebate on their statement one or two billing cycles after the purchases. Limitations: you must have at least 9 annual Shell Oil station purchases; otherwise, there is an annual fee. And, you must pay your bill on time; otherwise, the rebate will be restricted or not paid at all. 1% rewards on all other purchases. http://www.877myshellcard.com. BTW, many BP Amoco stations has closed in the Kansas City area.

FYI – I have the AMEX card that claims 5% cash back on gas, what they don’t tell you is that in actual practice they credit most of your gas purchases at 1% because they say the merchant has to charge you for the gas “under the right code” or something to that effect, in order for you to get 5%. Evidently few of them do, because only about one fourth of my gas purchases are eligible for 5% cash back on my statement each month. Very dissappointing and misleading.

We have had the open road Discover 5% off gas card for a couple years.I just found out that you only get 5% off on the first 100.00 in gas purchases then .25 to 2% depending on your monthly total. Bummer I think I will change to the Chase card.
Larry said:

This “up to” stuff in ads is getting bad. The fine print tells you the “up to 5%” translates to “about 1%”. When they “deceive” you in the beginning, what should you expect down the road? American Express, Chase, and the GM cards are the only cards that I have had for more than three years that are not full of deception.

Have you checked into the Discover More card. While the open road card limits the cashback amount, the Discover More card does not.
Agi Czinege said:

Discover Open Road card gives you 5% cash back on your first 100USD /billing cycle only. On every additional spending you can get back only 1%.
So if you spend 200 USD/month you can get back 5USD on the first 100 USD and 1 USD on the second 100 USD. It’s not the same. ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT!!!!!! Take care folks.

Just got a letter in the mail today from AMEX – SimplyCash Business…. they are changing their 5% back on Gas to just 3%. Still 5% on cellular charges and office supplies, but now 3% of Gas, plus $12,000 purchase cap on Gas and then it goes to 1% on Gas. Still 1% on everything else…. you may want to update the website or confirm this with AMEX since there is no more 5% on Gas with AMEX.

Be careful with the Discover On The Road Card. It says 5% back on all gas and automotive purchases, but after you spend a $100 a month, they only give you 3/4% back in rebates. Good if you don’t spend much on gas, if you do, this card is not for you.
Tom said:

I did some research on this and from what i hear the TrueEarnings AMEX card from Costco is the best deal around. It captures all purchases 3% for gasoline, 3% for restaurants, 2% for travel, 1% all else. It’s got no limitations on cash back you can earn. Plus since i shop at Costco it pays for my annual fee. It’s 3% cash back on gas but with no limitations unlike the other BS offers of 6% but limit to $100 spent a month. Anyway, i applied at this website and got approved online. Sweet!

BP CHASE WARNING! After using the BP Chase card they just CLOSED my account with no warning claiming i am using it to much on gas and i must bu running a business and it is SUPPOSED TO BE USED ONLY FOR PERSONAL USE! I called them but they just ignored my request to reconsider that i don’t own a business and i own a SUV and two turbo outbacks! Their claim was that i purchased gas twice in two days so i must own a business! Pathetic, so long BP and CHASE!

I will buy the same gas that is a few cents cheaper anyway at other gas stations now…
Paul said:

I just got a letter explaining that my BP account is being closed because the level of usage is “too high”?! I pay my balance in full each month and I feel they are just getting rid of accounts that they do not make money on. I have lived up to the agreement in every way. They should not be able to pick only drivers who won’t cost them as much in rebates and who never pay interest because they pay their accounts in full.

I did purchase a chase bp personal gas card not knowing that it wasn’t meant for business use. The brochure said you could purchase as much fuel as you want and still get the rebates, which I did for 3 years. The other day I went to use my card and it was canceled. Chase did it without informing me. They also would not let me claim my final rebate of $600.00 that I had earned and let roll over for several months. All of my calls to them were basically ignored and I was given the “tuff luck” response. Their personal-consumer program brochure still says purchase as much as you want and enjoy the rebates. Never again will those bastards get my business.

BP CHASE sucks!! I have been a cardholder for 20 years (back when it used to be Amoco). They are now calculating their finance charge based on your average daily balance, so even if you pay it off every month you still must pay a finance charge. I will no longer be using the card or purchasing BP products!!

Although a 5% rebate on gas is available thru certain cards from American Express and Discover, there are limitations. American Express would be my first choice, but it is not accepted at all gas stations. The dollar limitation with Discover can be overcome with multiple cards, i.e., one each for husband, wife, and joint names..

Don’t bother applying for the bp card unless you make late payments And incur finance charges! I was rejected because I always pay on time, and dont carry a balance,; chase said they can’t control what their partners are advertising, so are turning down apps that they deem to be unprofitable. There ought to be a law! I hope that Obama will get a tighter noose around cc co.s and banks!.

I have a question. Is it possible to get a gas card for gas and that is all you can purchase on it? I would want it to be used for fuel only and no other items sold in stations. Thank you

I got my Citi Mastercard for Shell two years ago. On October 15, 2009, I made a payment on the account (as I usually do twice a month). On October 19, 2009, I went to get gas at the Shell station and it did not go thru. Customer Service told me my account is closed because my FICO score went down. I received notice on 10-27-09 that their credit criteria had changed. I have never had a late payment on this account. In fact, all of my accounts are current. It seems to me that these credit companies and credit card companies are SCAMing the very people that support them. There was time when I regarded CITI and WELLS FARGO as friendly businesses. I WILL NO LONGER DO BUSINESS WITH EITHER COMPANY. It is sad that companies of this size and stature still rely on outdated credit company “scores”. Even worse is that these credit companies will not reveal the “nature” of how the “scores” are calculated. In these times of CREDIT, I think I will return to the old adage “CASH IS KING”

SUNOCO Mastercard offers a 4% rebate on all Sunoco products, but raised my APR from 8% to 24% because I Pay my gas bill every month.

I wish these ratings sites would also publish the fact that several of these rebate cards rotate their rewards calendars so you have to shop for something like gas during march to july or other period. This just doesnt work for me. Discover More and Chase Freedom both do this. At this point I am using my Shell Citibank card which gives 1% rebate for all purchases and 5% for their Shell gasoline. It’s pretty good and the site is easy to use. I pay my bill automatically every month in full.

I do agree with all the negitive comments about Chase Credit Cards. I have had the same experience with them as most of the comments listed here. It was with great pleasure when I notified them to put their card where the sun does not shine. I found a great Visa card with Pentagon Fedral Credit Union.
