Re: Free gas from Shell
Personally the best credit card for those who don't carry a balance, charge more than $6000 annually and do not want to pay an annual fee is the American Express Blue Credit Card.
Once $6000 in total charges have been reached they provide:
5% rebate on gas, grocery stores, drug stores
1.5% rebate on all other purchases
No Limit as to the amount of the rebate and it is paid annually on the anniversary of the card.
Therefore when gas is $4 a gallon you are getting 20 cents back. It works at any gas station as long as you pay at the pump.
I think you must have good credit score of 600 or above to get one.
My wife and I use the Card for all of our purchases, pay the monthly bills ontime (electronically) and in full. If you are able to do that - than this is the best card.
The one drawback is that some of the places do not take Amex. Amex charges retailers a higher fee than Visa and MasterCard so smaller retailers balk at American Express. For those situations I use my AAA Visa which rebates 3% on Gas purchases.
