If one fills up once a week, $2.25 X 52 = $117 cash back for the year if you pay off your bill to avoid finance charges. [Edited by: Rick34202 at 8/15/2006 6:45:38 AM EST]

throttle Champion Author Maryland Posts:11,982 Points:2,464,695 Joined:Jul 2004	Message Posted: Jul 17, 2006 2:01:53 PM Ignore throttle Report Abuse PetrolPatrol: Your 5 percent rebate from Discover cuts off after $1200 in gas purchases each year. (new rule from Discover). You're going to have to find an alternative. Maybe if enough of us do that Discover will scrap this new limit.
twalt1919 Champion Author Rochester Posts:2,214 Points:1,154,170 Joined:Jan 2006	Message Posted: Jul 17, 2006 12:38:25 PM Ignore twalt1919 Report Abuse I have 2 cards that give me 5% cash back: Discover Platinum and Citibank Dividend. Discover just gives me the 5% on gas purchases. Citibank gives me that for gas, pharmacy, and grocery store purchases. I don't have to pay it off every month (which I do anyways). But to redeem, it has to accumulate up to $50 (might be for cash only). Also can make that go further by getting gift cards (Red Lobster, Blockbuster, etc), but these days cash feels better.

PetrolPatrol Rookie Author San Jose Posts:2 Points:1,240 Joined:Jun 2005	Message Posted: Jul 11, 2006 4:12:00 PM Ignore PetrolPatrol Report Abuse The Discover Card offers a 5% discount on gas purchases. We have 4 drivers in our family and we all use the Discover Card. I have taught my kids to look for the lowest price stations. When comparing a $3.00 per gallon price with an Arco station (where cash or Debit is required) offering $2.95 the Discover Card makes that $3.00 price drop to $2.85. 5% of $3.00 represents a $0.15 per gallon. And when 4 to 5 vehicles are in need of gasoline the Discover Card has saved us quite a bit. Especially on our 15-passenger van that has a 30 gallon tank.
