Card Comparison: Gas Rewards Credit Cards - June 2008

Gas price has reached a historical high $4 for the first time today as oil price skyrocketed $11 in one day to $139 historically. This is a phenomenal development as this is going to change a lot of Americans’ behavior.

Here is list of awesome credit cards that reward gas purchases. I have broken out the list into three parts for consumers, students, and businesses respectively. These credit cards reward at least two units of rewards for each $1 gas purchases, a unit could be one percentage of cash, one mile, or one point.

A few notes that worth attention when you choose are: Discover Open Road Cards (for student or for consumer) have $100 gas spending limit per month while American Express SimplyCash Card doesn’t set gas spending limit. Despite its 5 points per dollar gas reward, Capital One® No Hassle PointsSM Rewards card charges $29 annual fee to card members.
