Want A Free Gasoline Credit Card
With the high price of fuel these days it is rare to find a gasoline company that will give you a break on the price of gasoline, but with a gasoline credit card you may be able to ease some of the expense while monitoring your gasoline spending habits.
There are two basic types of gasoline credit cards. The first is a gas company card offered to customers through certain gas companies. This kind of card is beneficial to the person who is trying to control his or her gasoline budget. It functions similarly to a credit card with monthly fees and interest. Most gasoline credit cards require you to pay the balance in full at the end of each month. Although this kind of card limits you to purchasing gas or in-store items from the station where the card was purchased, it can be helpful if you are trying to control gasoline expenditures. A gasoline credit card is also generally easier to purchase than a traditional credit card.
The second gasoline card is the gas reward card that offers incentives through credit card companies. Some credit card companies have started rewards programs with incentives that offer free gas rewards. Similar to frequent flyer miles, gasoline credit card holders can earn points every time a purchase is made. These points add up over time and can be converted into free gas.
Purchasing a gasoline credit card may also be beneficial if you maintain a good credit history. Gas companies will fight to keep you as a loyal customer and lower your interest rates if you continue to use their brand. Many gas credit cards can initially be purchased at a zero interest introductory rate. This rate will last anywhere from six to twelve months. Be careful to read over the fees and agreements before choosing your card.
There are other incentives to owning a gas card including cash back bonuses of 1-2% at grocery stores or restaurants. Some gas credit cards offer free fraud protection services if your card is lost or stolen. A little bit of research can help you find the best card.
When deciding whether or not to get a gasoline credit card, think about the benefits of a company card or a rewards card. Both will help ease the stress of making an inevitable gasoline purchase. A gasoline credit card is best for the person who wishes to maintain a budget and control expenditures whereas the rewards cards can help you save money and get free gas.

Gasoline Prices – Filling Up on the Card
(PRWEB) July 5, 2004
The recent increase in gasoline prices has consumers searching for ways to save. Credit card companies have responded to this need by introducing gas rebate credit cards. When consumers make gas purchases, they get 2% – 6% gas rebates. Additionally, many of these credit cards offer a 1% – 2% rebate on other standard purchases. CreditGUARD of America (http://www.creditguard.org) is a non-profit credit counseling agency that has examined several popular gas rebate credit cards to determine how much consumers can save.
Gas Rebate Credit Cards: Do the Savings Add Up?
The average consumer drives 15,000 miles a year. Based on the expected gas mileage of AmericaÂs most popular sedan, the Honda Accord, consumers spend approximately $ 1,125.00 in gasoline each year.* Based on that spending, the average consumer could expect to receive $ 22.50 to $ 67.50 in gas rebates.
The APR (annual percentage rate) of gas rebate credit cards range from 13.99% to 18.99%. If the consumer only pays the minimum monthly payment of $ 33.75, over the course of 3 ½ to 4 years, they will pay $ 300 to $ 490 interest to the credit card company for a yearÂs worth of gasoline.
Consumers making late payments can lose the preferred APR, for an APR as high as 27.99%, with additional late fees. The same yearÂs worth of gasoline would take 5 ½ years to pay off the gas credit card and cost the consumer over $ 1,000 in interest payments.
Gas rebate credit cards only offer savings to consumers who pay their credit card balances in full each month.
Other Ways to Save on Gasoline Prices
One of the best ways to save on gasoline is to properly maintain your car. The Alliance to Save Energy has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to offer these valuable gasoline saving tips:
By keeping your engine properly maintained, you can improve the gas mileage of your car by 4 percent.
Properly inflated tires can improve your carÂs gas mileage by 3 percent.
Using motor oil that is “energy conserving” can improve your carÂs gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent.
Regularly replacing your carÂs air filters can improve your carÂs gas mileage by 10 percent.
By using these gasoline saving tips, you can improve your carÂs performance up to 19 %.
Additionally, change some of your driving habits to reduce the cost of gasoline. Take shorter trips and plan your day so you donÂt have to back track and use extra gas. If possible, try to avoid driving during rush hour. This is a particularly helpful tip considering the fact that the longer your car idles, the less gas mileage you get. It is also helpful to drive responsibly and at the speed limit. The Alliance to Save Energy notes that each 5 mph increase above 60mph is like paying an additional 10 cents a gallon for gasoline. It may also be to your advantage to use public transportation; the cost of a ticket might be less time and money than driving your car.
Lastly, there are several websites on the Internet that can help you find the best gasoline prices in your town. Here are some of the more popular gasoline price watch sites:**
