WHAT'S THE BEST GAS REWARDS CREDIT CARD?
by Cole Dunham - Oct 17, 2022
Advertiser Disclosure
Advertiser Disclosure
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, more than 90% of U.S.
households in 2021 have at least one car, RV or motorcycle – and where there’s
an engine, there’s a need for gas.
Especially as restaurants and vacations spots open back up, more and more
Americans are going to be hitting the roads. That means that gasoline is going
to be in higher demand – and taking up a bigger slice of your budget – than
ever. And while gas can get expensive, a credit card with rewards geared
specifically for use at the pump can be a great way of racking up rewards while
you travel.
In particular, we really love three cards for their amazing gas rewards offers:
the Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards credit card, the Costco Anywhere
Visa® Card by Citi, and the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express. But
while all three of these cards offer incredible gas rewards potential, there’s a
few things that really set them apart. Read on to find out which one is right
for you.
ON THE ROAD AGAIN
Before we really start the comparisons, let’s take a quick trip around the block
with each card’s key features (do you see what we did there?):

So, there’s all the numbers broken down…but which one is best?
THE FAST & THE FEE-URIOS
All three of these cards offer solid gas rewards, but at the end of the day
they’re really targeted at different audiences. Let’s start at the top:
* If you’re a Costco member, get the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi. This
card has the best gas cash back rate at 4% (although keep in mind that this
is only available on eligible gas purchases, which pretty much means only at
Costco), and the additional cash back for Costco and Costco.com purchases
makes this a no-brainer pick if you already are a Costco member. While the
card doesn’t have many perks outside of the rewards program, what this card
specializes in it does extremely well. Plus, since this card has no annual
fee it’s not a bad idea to use this for your trips to Costco and another
rewards card with a stronger ongoing rate at more locations for your everyday
purchases.
* If you don’t have Costco membership but don’t want to bother with an annual
fee, get the Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards credit card. This card
was just relaunched with a new name and a solid suite of rewards. It offers
quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to how you earn cash back – because
you get to choose your 3% category each cycle, you can plan ahead (for
example, if you’ve got a road trip coming up, pick gas). While 3% is less
than the industry-leading rewards rate with the Costco card, you also don’t
have to buy your gas at a Costco location in order to earn maximum rewards.
And unlike the Costco card, you get more general benefits like over a year of
0% intro APR on purchases and balance transfers, all with the same $0 annual
fee.
* If you’re not afraid of eventually having to pay an annual fee, get the Blue
Cash Preferred® Card from American Express. Blue Cash Preferred is a legend
in the rewards space, and the rewards offer has only gotten better with time.
3% cash back on gas is the same as on the Customized Cash Card, but it’s
active all the time, as is the massive 6% cash back available at supermarkets
(up to $6000 per year in purchases) and select streaming services. This is
also a great all-in-one card – it’s a strong recommendation from us virtually
no matter where you use it. And while it does have an annual fee of $95, that
only kicks in after your first year. Think about it this way – if you use the
welcome offer exclusively to cover annual fees, you could own this card for
3+ years without having to pay out of pocket.
CROSSING THE FINISH LINE
It may seem like we raced right through our picks for the best gas credit cards
on the market today, but don’t hit the emergency brake quite yet – all three of
these cards are amazing picks, packed with great rewards and numerous other
benefits besides just providing the best bang for your buck when used at the gas
station. Hopefully this guide has been helpful in providing a little direction
on which pick is right for you.
You can apply for any of these cards on our issuers' secure sites and get a
decision in 60 second or less...why wait?
