Unless you primarily commute via public transit, chances are you’ve recently stopped to gas up. Whether your total was a couple of dollars or you ended up paying triple digits to fill your tank, if you didn’t use a gas credit card, you’re missing out on earning rewards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At TPG, we’re all about maximizing<\/a> spending wherever possible, whether that means maximizing the bonus categories on a cash-back card or transferring your rewards points to leverage a killer transfer bonus.<\/p>\n

My household includes my partner, a daily commuter who drives 76 miles round-trip to and from work every weekday. That mileage adds up, which is why I added him as an authorized user<\/a> on my Costco Anywhere Visa\u00ae Card by Citi<\/a> (see rates and fees<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Out of all the cards I currently hold, my Costco Anywhere Visa offers the highest reward rate in this category \u2014 5% cash back on gas at Costco and 4% cash back on other eligible gas and electric vehicle charging purchases for the first $7,000 in combined spend per year, then 1% thereafter. Because of these rates, using it to fill up is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

In fact, my February 2025 Costco reward certificate (for all of my 2024 spending) came in at $226.73. A large portion of that spending fell into two main categories: Costco groceries<\/a> and Costco and non-Costco gas fill-ups.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a road warrior, an occasional driver or fall somewhere in the middle, here’s why you need a gas credit card in your wallet \u2014 plus our top picks for the best gas cards.<\/p>\n
