I am looking for a good credit card to use for gas purchases and pay off each month.  I have always paid cash in the past, but with the rewards programs some are offering, I may be able to get 10-20 cents a gallon off the prices, and by paying off each month, not have any interest charges.

Who has found the best and where do I need to look?  I have compared alot on the internet and most seem to have a downside.  Most give a big reward upfront and then it declines.  My dad uses Discover, but after checking they are changing their rules in October to limit your savings a great deal.

Is a one company gas card better?

Depends is it just for gas, a general purpose CC like the one I have gives 3% back, so close to 9cents a gallon there and can use anywhere.  Also can use at Kroger ontop of the 3cents off normally

We have a guy who gets damn near 40cents off per a gallon down at the station all ask what he dose.

Really only looking at gas.  I have a couple of others that I rotate to keep the 0% if I need to carry a balance for some reason.

Did you read the fine print at that site?  It said on the first page 5% back, but under the disclosure that came up when you apply, it said 1% back after you spent $3000 in that year.  And if you buy gas at Sams Club or any membership club, it was only .25% back.

This is the problem I was running into.  My dad has a Discover right now that gives 5% back but his terms are changing in October to the same thing above.

I don't know if there are any real deals now.  Unless it's a one company gas card.  Like BP.
