Gas Cards - Great Way To Stick It To The Oil Companies - And Get Cash Back Too!

If you're like most people you have a credit card or two and you probably use it on a regular basis. Paying it off every month to avoid the interest charges, right? ;-)

Do you purchase gas with a credit card? Most gas stations now have the pay at the pump option making it quick and easy to stop, pump and pay.

The Key To Gas Card Savings At The Pump . . . . .

Use a gas rewards card.

Use it on a gas saving days - Many gas stations offer a discount on certain days with a fill up, this adds to even more savings for you. One gas station where I live offers $.06 off per gallon on tuesday's. Combine that with a 5% - 10% gas card savings - Nice savings!

Find other items on sale at the gas station - Many gas stations run good sales on various grocery type items, why not pick them up while your there to save even more (if you use the item anyway).

After you fill up, shut the pump down, pull the trigger and tip the hose up -There is gas left in the hose. You are paying for it -get it all.

Fill-up the gas tank in the morning. Some experts say a driver will get a little more gasoline per gallon if the gas tank is filled when temperatures are cooler. Over time, the extra fuel adds up.

Choosing The Gas Card That Is Right For You . . . . . There are many types of cards to choose from. A type of card issued by Visa or Mastercard through major banks offers gas rebates at any gas station along with other benefits. For example, not only do they offer 5% cash back on purchase at gas stations, supermarkets, and drug stores, but they also gives you 1% cash back on all other purchases.

Another type of gas reward card is specific to a particular chain of gas stations. For example, some gas chain specific cards let you earn a discount of 5% on all of their participating location purchases and also can be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted. Cards like this from the SpeedWay and Marathon gas station chains are great ways for saving on your gas purchases.

Closing Notes . . . . . Many of you have read my other articles and are probably wandering just why I am writing about gas savings when I am a heavy supporter of e85 Flex Fuel Vehicles.

I understand that not everyone has access to e85 or can go out and get a new Flex Fuel Vehicle, so the next best thing is to inform people as to how to save gas and "Stick It To The Oil Companies - While Getting Cash Back Too!"
