Credit card gas cards can give you cash back just for being a loyal customer to a particular gas station. They typically pay anywhere from 3% – 5% cash back on purchases made at their stations. After you accumulate so many dollars in rewards they usually credit your statement for whatever the amount may be. (I.e. $25, $50).

The process is relatively simple. To start, you want take a look at the gas stations that you pass by during your daily routine. Take note of the most common stations that are convenient to your commute. For instance, you would not want to consider a gas station that you would have to cross 6 lanes of traffic and make a left turn to access.

Once you have a good idea of what stations are plentiful in your area you want to conduct a search for the type of credit card that they have to offer. Most large companies offer some type of cash back rewards card.  From here you want to weigh your options; select the card that offers the best deal and apply.

You may be scared away by the high APR that some cards charge. If you use this card wisely there is no need to worry. Remember, you are getting this card to make you money- not rack up more debt. In other words, pay off the balance every month.

You can also find companies such as Discover that offer some great cash back offers at any gas station, but be careful. More and more merchants are refusing to accept discover due to the hefty fees that the discover charges per transaction.
