Best Gas Credit Cards of 2021

Q: What is the best gas credit card?

There are several great gas credit cards, so the best gas credit card depends on how much you spend on gas.

Q: What gas stations take credit cards?

All of the major gas stations take credit cards, including Shell, Texaco, Chevron and more.

Q: What is the best gas credit card for bad credit?

The Discover it® Secured Credit Card is the best gas credit card for poor credit, since you earn a high amount of cash back on your purchases without an annual fee, and you can use the card other places outside of gas stations. You will earn 2% cash back, up to $1,000, each quarter.

Q: Does Costco gas take credit cards?

Yes, Costco gas takes credit cards. However, only Visa and Mastercard.

Q: Do gas stations take credit cards?

Yes, most gas stations take credit cards.

Q: Is it safe to use a credit card at the gas pump?

There is a risk that your card could be skimmed by thieves when you use it at the pump. Fortunately, most credit cards come with fraud alerts and $0 fraud liability that protect you from fraudulent charges in case your card number is stolen. You can further reduce your risk by watching out for signs of skimming or even paying for your gas in the store (though your card can also be skimmed there).

Q: Can I buy gas with just my credit card number?

There are a number of mobile apps, such as the Shell app, that will allow you to pay without a physical card.

Q: How hard is it to get a gas credit card?

Most of the cards on this list require excellent credit. However, you can find gas cards such as the Discover it® Secured Credit Card that are targeted to consumers with low credit scores.

Q: Do gas cards help build credit?

Many gas cards, including all the cards on this list, report to all three major credit bureaus, and so can help you build credit, provided you pay your card on time.

Q: Do gas stations charge more for credit cards?

Some merchants may charge a processing fee for using a credit card. You should keep a close eye on your credit card statement for the terms "fee" or "surcharge."

Earn 4% cash back at Costco or any other gas station worldwide (up to $7,000 in purchases per year)

Our thoughts

If you frequently visit your local Costco, the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi is a must have. While it is a Costco-branded card, you can use this credit card at any vendor that accepts Visa.

The most significant feature of the card is the 4% cash back (up to $7,000 per year) you can earn at gas stations worldwide. If maximized, that is $280 per year back in your pocket. And with the additional savings by filling up at Costco, this can amount to a great amount of savings.

Pros

4% cash back on eligible gas for the first $7,000 per year and then 1% thereafter, 3% on restaurants & travel, 2% at Costco & Costco.com, 1% on all other purchases
Bonus cash back on large purchase categories like restaurants and Costco.
$0 annual fee.
0% foreign transaction fees.

Cons

No sign-up bonus.
You must have a Costco membership to have this card. If your Costco membership is canceled, your card will become inactive a few months later. If this occurs, any remaining cash back will be forfeited.
Your cash back comes in the form of a certificate once per year. If you cancel your Costco membership before you receive your certificate, you forfeit all your cash back.

What's a gas credit card?

A gas credit card gives consumers bonus rewards (in the form of cash back or points) for their gas purchases. A gas credit card is essential to have if you regularly visit gas stations.

Types of gas credit cards

There are several types of gas credit cards. They include:

Gas credit cards that earn points such as the Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card.
Gas credit cards that earn cash back such as the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi.
Co-branded gas credit cards such as the BP Visa® Credit Card. Some co-branded cards can only be used for gas purchases at that vendor.

Each earns different rewards based on each purchase, but the cards listed above give bonus points for gas purchases. Keep in mind that some cards distinguish between U.S. gas stations and gas stations worldwide. So if you travel often and fuel up on gas in other countries, it is important to find a card that will give you rewards on those purchases.

How to choose a gas credit card

Choosing a gas credit card can be difficult. There are several gas credit cards, like the BP Visa® Credit Card, that only earn cash back at their respective gas stations. This product may work for consumers who live or travel near BP gas stations. But many consumers simply want to save money on gas and visit the cheapest station around. These consumers are likely better off with a general rewards card that offers a bonus on gas purchases.

In addition, it is best to choose a gas credit card that rewards you for your other purchases. It’s likely that gas isn’t your only expense, so searching for a credit card that awards a bonus on both groceries and gas or on restaurants and gas purchases can be a valuable strategy.

How to use a gas credit card

Using a gas credit card is quite simple. Next time you visit the pump, just swipe and fill your tank.

But long before you hit the road, research which gas credit card will benefit you most. Using a gas credit card is ideal to reach a specific goal like saving money or earning travel rewards to take a vacation.

Some of the cards above have limits on how many rewards you can earn at gas stations. If you spend a significant amount of money on gas each year, it may be best to avoid those cards.

Below are some of the most common questions our readers have when applying for a new credit card. Check back often, as we're continually adding and updating our FAQs.

How We Calculate Rewards: ValuePenguin calculates the value of rewards by estimating the dollar value of any points, miles or bonuses earned using the card less any associated annual fees. These estimates here are ValuePenguin's alone, not those of the card issuer, and have not been reviewed, approved or otherwise endorsed by the credit card issuer.

Example of how we calculate the rewards rates: When redeemed for travel through Ultimate Rewards, Chase Sapphire Preferred points are worth $0.0125 each. The card awards 2 points on travel and dining and 1 point on everything else. Therefore, we say the card has a 2.5% rewards rate on dining and travel (2 x $0.0125) and a 1.25% rewards rate on everything else (1 x $0.0125).
