Credit Card Fuel Rebates -- Which Card Still Gives Back 5% ?

[JWChessell]

I had AAA VISA, then they lowered their fuel rebate from 5% to 2%. I switched to Citi Mastercard, and now they have lowered their fuel rebate from 5% to 2%. Is there any credit card still offering a 5% rebate? Thx.

my pop gets good pricing on gas from canadian tire [canadian tire mastercard]. . he gets $0. 10 off per liter of gas. . i think it is good for diesel too, but i don't spend enough per month on any CC to qualify for the full 10 cent/liter

Advanta Rewards Master Card

That's what I use too. The only catch is it max's out at $300 cash back annually.

We use a Chase BP card for our fuel. I believe it is still at 5%

Discover Card

I've saved $140. 00, so far. It's a good deal, I think.



The only catch is that they keep calling you to try to get you to buy the credit insurance. They were calling me, at least, once a month. However, for the money saved, it's not that big of an inconvenience.

I got one of the Shell mastercards a year or so ago, and it's 5%, and they apply the rebate on the next bill.



I got it when they had one of those double rebate deals.

My shell mastercard had a 15% rebate for the first 90 days , its now at 5% for shell.

I have a AAA credit card that I pay off each month. I get the 5% rebate on gas by putting groceries and a few other monthly things on it. You can still get 5% by being creative. And for everyone else's information, the rebate from this card is on the next bill just like Shell's Mastercard.

You guys with the Shell and Chase BP cards: Do you have to purchase your fuel at Shell and BP in order to get the full 5% ?

 

[DJennings]

That's the advantage of the Advanta card, or any non branded card. I can purchase fuel wherever I want. The rebate is issued in the form of a check. The check is issued after you've reached $50 or more in rebates.



Cards like BP and Shell require you purchase fuel from them.

Credit Card

I use the Discover Card and get the %5 on the first $1200 which lasts me a year then it renews. As for the Shell I applied and received the card then discovered that it didn't cover deisel or avaition gas (I called and verified this) so I canceled it without ever using it. Then I wrote a nasty letter to the company for using false and deceptive advertising becaust the exclusions were not mentioned in the promotions. Larry

I had gotten my Shell card when I still had my gasser, then after I went diesel saw that diesel wasn't included..... however most of the stations I use must run the card differently as I get the rebate each month, and the diesel charges are in the 5% category.

I'm recycling this back to the top to see if there are any additional replies. Anyone out there aware of any other cards that still offer 5% rebates on diesel fuel purchases, besides the ones mentioned above?



AAA/Visa offers 5%, IF you make additional purchases (not incl fuel) equal to 1. 5 X (times) the dollar amount of fuel purchased during your billing period. Otherwise, the fuel rebate is 2%, no matter how much fuel you purchase. Discover has more than one kind of card (I found out today). The fuel card ("Open Road" card) offers 5% rebate on the first $1,200. 00 purchased during a year, which equals $60. 00. I'd spend that in one round-trip across the country. The other Discover cards offer 5% on purchases from various retailers, which changes every 90 days. Our particular card does not include fuel purchases until July 1st. You can change back-and-forth between Discover's various plans, but each change is effective only at the start of your next billing period. Also, the total amount of fuel purchases that qualify for a rebate changes according to the plan. Citi Mastercard changed from 5% to 2% on 10-1-06, but the 2% doesn't have any gimmicks.



Anyone have any more current info?

5%

We have Discover and I just called them 2 weeks ago and they are offering 5% on fuel. I just had to tell them I wanted to add that feature to my card [I could have gotten a separate card if I had wanted to]. I did have to wait til my current billing cycle was over to start the 5%. Give them a call. Diana

I called Discover on Wednesday, April 25th and the info I got is different from what you were told. Apparently it depends on who you talk to.



Re the Advanta fuel cards: There are two different Advanta fuel cards that offer a 3% rebate. Does anyone know what the difference between the two is?



Thx.
