I know many of the cc companies offer cash back or discount at the pumps or some kind of benefit. Which do you find has the best benefit? Many gas cards are often a negative benefit after you pay with the card. Want to know from your experience. Thanks

We have a Diesel Pusher and use the truck lanes at Pilot/Flying J. The Pilot/Flying J RV Plus card is what we preffer. 6cent discount on diesel, among other discounts. And its not a CC.https://www.rvpluscard.com/

We use a PenFed Visa charge card that give 5 percent back on all fuel purchased where you pay at the pump and 1 percent on other purchases. If I go to Pilot/Flying J, I get 3 cents off with their RV card and then 5 percent back by charging on the PenFed Card. So in our area that would be 14 cents off the pump price.

The payment method with the best benefits is cash. No rewards card will give you back more than they are charging the retailer in processing fees. Three guesses as to who ultimately pays those processing fees...

Unless you can convince everyone buying fuel to pay cash, you'll never see any savings that way. It helps some at stations that charge more for CC payments, but still usually not as much as the 5% PenFed rebate.

You pay 3 or more cents over other stations at Fish Hooks. We owned a Class 8 and Flying J went through some Fraud issues and most of the Office people are in prison. Most fuel islands are pretty nasty too, old Speedways TS are really bad. Guess Pilot is trying to get back the $92,000,000.00 in fines for fraud.

Not a full time RVer, but 4% back on fuel with my Costco Citi Bank card plus 3% on dining out is pretty darn good for me.

Only 8 PFJ officers were indicted, not "most of the Office people", and none have been tried yet, much less in prison. PFJ has paid out nearly $170 million in rebate lawsuit settlements and fines. We've found PFJ fuel prices to be competitive with other stations in the same area nearly everywhere we go. And during the recent media manufactured gas shortage in the southeast, PFJ stations did not raise their fuel prices at all, unlike many other stations.

It's old news really, related to a 2013 fuel rebate fraud charge.

8 former, current Pilot employees indicted...

You can apply online. Pentagon Federal Credit Union

If you do not have any military affiliation now, or in the past, then you can join the National Military Family Association and that is sufficient.

I am checking into their card now. Do you use a plat rewards or plat cash back? I am thinking the plat cash back. I see there is no annual fee. Do you recall any hidden fees once you started using the card. If I join the National Military Family Association for $15 I can get the card?

I have had mine now for quite a few years so I don't know if anything has changed. It is the Platinum cash back card that I use. Joining the NMFA was only a one time fee and I opened an account at Pen Fed and stuck in the minimum amount required. Since it accrues interest, it was no big deal and it was not very much. I just checked and I have $100 in a money market account there.
