Over the past 18 months, the steady increase in the cost of gasoline has been a gut-punch to the budgeting process of many American households. It might not be the biggest line-item in your budget, but an extra $100-$200 a month can sting.
While we can’t do anything to bring down gas prices, the right cash back credit card might be able to help ease the impact on your family.
Our editors have compiled a list of the best cash back credit cards for gas. Some cards will offer the same cash back rate on all purchases, including gas. Others will include “gas” or “travel-related” as special categories with higher cash back rates. In this case, it’s important to know whether the card has static bonus categories or if they rotate each month or each quarter.
If you choose a credit card to use specifically for gas purchases, you’ll want to be aware of any fees the card charges that would eat into your rewards.
