Editor's Pick: Gas Credit Card

The Year's Best Gas Credit Cards

Our advice on which gas rebate credit cards to consider and why

Gas prices are rising, and although they’re not the highest they’ve ever been (based on adjustments for inflation), most Americans are feeling the pinch at the pump. In this day of skyrocketing gas prices and our addiction to gas guzzling SUVs, consumers are being rescued by the most unlikely source—credit card companies.

Today, consumers have many more options when it comes to choosing a credit card. Smart consumers (that is, consumers who understand credit) are finding ways to use credit cards to allay rising prices. We’ve made it our job to find and evaluate credit card offers and report our findings to consumers. The following three gas credit cards are our top picks for the summer’s best gas credit cards.

#1 - Chase PerfectCard

As the name suggests, Chase claims their gas rebate credit card is perfect for anyone looking to apply for a gas credit card. The Chase PerfectCard is a unique program that allows cardholders to earn gas rebates at any station, and on any gas purchase. The Chase PerfectCard is our #1 pick for the best gas credit card because of its generous rebates, low APR and no annual fee.

#3 - Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards Card

This card may not be strictly a gas rebate credit card, but neither are the other two. The Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards Card is an excellent all-around rewards credit card, but Citi takes it a step further by offering 5 points for every $1 purchased at supermarkets, drugstores and gas stations. We like this card because it rewards consumers for using at the places they are most likely to want to earns rebates. Plus, Citi has an excellent identity protection program.
