Sam's Club credit card for fuel savings.

We signed up for a Sam's Club credit card. They will give you 5% back on any fuel purchase you make with it - at anyone's fuel station. Even though diesel is below $4 per gal at the moment, at $4 per gal, that would be a 20 cent savings per gallon.

If I go to Fred's / Kroger's and buy $200 worth of groceries, they'll give me 20 cents off per gal on fuel, then pay for it with Sam's CC, I'll get a total of 40 cents off per gallon.

Is there always a Sam's / Fred's / Kroger's around - no but we manage to find them our route about 75% of the time so far.

I believe Kroger is the other exclusion for gas.

With a new Shell credit card, they'll give you a 25 cent per gallon discount for 90 days after receiving the card.

I was thinking if you pay with a Walmart card at one of Murphy USA's stores at Walmart, you get a discount.

Read the fine print carefully.... They do not give any cash back. Once a year in February they send you a check made out to you and Sam's Club. It wasn't clear to me by reading the fine print several times if you can cash the check and get cash at a SC, or if it can only be used for purchases at SC. Still not a bad deal, but I opted not to go for it after reading their privacy policy. They can distribute whatever info they have on you, including personal identifiers, your SSN, shopping habits, etc, to any of their affiliates, and you cannot opt out. You can opt out on info sharing with non-affiliates. Also, you agree to allow them to automatically charge the card for your annual membership fee, although that is no big deal.

It's a Master Card and supposedly you'll be reimbursed in thirty days. You also get 2% back and 1% back for other types of purchases, but I really wasn't interested in those and didn't pay attention to it. Generally I put everything on my Alaska Airlines CC for the mileage but I think the savings on the diesel is worthwhile.

we have the Sam's card , its a Master Card. it's 5% back at all gas stations up to 6000.00, except Costco. 3% on dinning and travel and 1% on all other purchases.

Tell us more: Is it Visa or and what type? When do you get the cash back - on every billing cycle or?

The PenFed Cash Rewards Visa card has 5% cash back for fuel on the monthly billing cycle and is good virtually everywhere including Canada. Doesn't work for truck pumps since you pay inside. Good in Canada with no transaction fees.

BTW Kroger also includes Frys and probably other chains. We've also get the 5% on propane.
