Pay With Gasbuddy Card
Anyone using the Pay With Gasbuddy card yet? 5 cents off every gallon, connects to your bank account, not a credit card.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
No, but I'd do the math before thinking that's better than, for example, a Chase AARP credit card that returns 3% on gas. At my station, gas is $2.699 a gallon. 5 cents a gallon off is 5 cents a gallon. 3% is 8 cents a gallon.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
I don't do debit cards. Too much risk.
Only way to do this would be to set up a new account with limited funds. That prevents access to a main account and possibly missed bills/mortgage/etc.

Most if not all of the Cumberland Farms stations in southern New England give a 10 cent discount when they debit your bank account using their card.

The Costco credit card rebates 4% on gasoline.

Too many better options. Not sure who this works out as a better deal for.

I am a DR guy who prefers not to use Credit Cards. I am currently using my bank's debit card for gas with no incentives.runner3081 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 3:04 pmPossibly people with poor credit and unable to get a card with rewards?
Not likely any or the vast majority of people here, though.

Have you considered getting the USAA Amex Cashback Rewards Plus credit card? You'll get 5% cashback on gas purchases up to $3k spent each year at gas stations and the card doesn't have an annual fee.steelerfan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 2:28 pm Anyone using the Pay With Gasbuddy card yet? 5 cents off every gallon, connects to your bank account, not a credit card.

A what guy?
Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
Dave Ramsey, I presume? In any case, gas stations are one place in particular for which I'd consider reserving a credit card: No incentive to overspend, rewards tend to be good (3-5% as folks have been posting), and, it seems, relatively high risk of attack from skimmers, hackers, etc. The consumer protections on CCs are far better than debit.steelerfan wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 3:17 pmI am a DR guy who prefers not to use Credit Cards.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
FWIW, Sam's Club branded MasterCard gives users 5% off per gallon. Given Sam's Clubs normal lower pricing (not necessarily everywhere), one can certainly save on gas using the card. Last fill-up saved 13 cents per gallon.
I've noticed that around here gas prices have dropped already to near pre-hurricane prices. Sam's Club was $2.49 on Monday. I guess one thing that helped was the summer driving season being over.

I presume DR=Debit. In accounting terms debit can be abbreviated with DR.
Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
I'm still using the PenFed gas card with 5% back. Unfortunately, I don't think it's available anymore to new customers. I filled up yesterday at $2.60/gal so that's $0.13 off per gal.
Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
Ditto that. They keep "offering" to "upgrade" me to the points card, and I always think HAIL NO, you got to be kidding.
Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
Not to mention the PenFed 5% cash back gas card. Another happy user here. Cards are a game.. 5% gas and use it just for that. AMEX Blue Cash Preferred for 6% on the first $6K of groceries and use it just for that, then the rest gets the Fidelity 2% on everything Visa. $2Kto $3K a year in cash back here.Jack FFR1846 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 2:37 pm No, but I'd do the math before thinking that's better than, for example, a Chase AARP credit card that returns 3% on gas.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
Unless I'm chasing a bonus, that's my everyday trio of cards. I throw in Chase Freedom and Discover for the rotating 5% categories depending on the quarter.midareff wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 9:29 am Not to mention the PenFed 5% cash back gas card.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
LOL, I love the 5% Discover restaurant quarter since we are retired and eat out a few times a week. Also have AA, Delta and United cards which cost annually but we have been traveling frequently so one round trip's free checked bags evens that out and the priority boarding is a plus to stow our carry on stuff while there is still room.alpenglow wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 10:39 amUnless I'm chasing a bonus, that's my everyday trio of cards.

Re: Pay With Gasbuddy Card
The BOA cash-back card with Preferred Rewards for 100k+ assets at Merrill Edge gets me 5.25% on gas.
