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

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.

PenFed combined with a Flying J when I can. Only thing I use the PenFed card for is fuel.

Thats what they call it but it's different. It's linked to a bank account. Good for $1K of credit, or more if you do a direct payment setup.

X3 The PenFed card has been the best for fuel discounts for many years.
It is available to anyone who lives in the USA.
I use it only for fuel and it is set up for automatic payment from my bank account.

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.

X2 This is what I use also.
