The credit cards associated with a particular of gas brand only offer rebates when their cards are used at their own stations

Editor's Recommendations

When selecting a card, we prefer those that do not limit our rebate to a specific brand of gas. The majority of the brand-specific gas credit cards in fact do not issue rebates at all when used at a competing brand's gas station.

With that in mind, a few cards do stand out:

Pentagon Federal Visa Platinum Cash Rewards Card - Our top pick in this category, it earns a flat 5% rebate on all gas purchases with no limit. In addition, it earns a 2% rebate at supermarkets and a 1% rebate on everything else. For frequent travelers it also offers a nice perk -- no foreign transaction fees. The only caveat is that this card does require Pentagon Federal credit union membership, but that can be easily obtained by anyone.
Blue Cash from Amex - Larger spenders may prefer the Blue Cash from Amex. Once you reach $6,500 in annual spending, you'll earn a 5% rebate not only at gas stations, but drugstores and supermarkets as well.

5% on up to $1,200 in purchases,
1% on purchases in excess of $1,200

For spending in the following bonus categories:

gasoline and diesel fuel
computers, computer supplies, electronics and office supplies
online advertising services
utilities and telecommunications

YTD Bonus Purchases	Rebate
$0-$1,200	5%
$1,200+	1%

For purchases not in the above categories:

YTD Other Purchases	Rebate
$0-$3,000	0.25%

$3000+	1.0%

Rebates will be earned at a rate of 3% for all purchases made at participating Gulf locations and 1% on all other purchases made anywhere else (excluding purchases made at any merchant that sells gasoline other than Gulf branded gasoline) provided the account is open and current at the time of purchase.
