Post subject: Gas Rebate Credit Cards Article

Great article about gas rebate credit cards that might interest some of you that appeared in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal. These cards are really popular now with gas prices soaring. The article mentions our website! http://sunday.wsj.com/articles/SB108163257678979525.html

It’s truly amazing how the worm has turned in the gasoline credit card industry. Do you remember about 10-15 years ago the oil companies were charging a PREMIUM of up to 5 cents per gallon for those who had the audacity to use a credit card? The few companies like Sunoco and Shell which didn’t charge extra cleaned up. Then came the great reordering when the companies advertised “cash or credit - same price.” Now they’re actually paying us to use our credit cards at the pump! Amazing! BTW, one slight error in the article. Very few cards limit their rebate to pay-at-the-pump purchases only. AAA does, but Shell does not, Exxon-Mobil does not. Not sure about other cards.
