Questions people ask

What is the best gas credit card?

As of October 29, 2026, the American Express Blue Cash Preferred Card ranks first worth about $607 a year after its $95 annual fee on typical spending. The Wells Fargo Active Cash Credit Card and Citi Double Cash Credit Card come second and third.

How are these gas cards ranked?

Ranked on spending with gas station purchases counted double. Each card's value is its rewards plus the credits a typical cardholder uses, minus its annual fee; points are converted at conservative cash values. No issuer pays for placement.

Is a card with an annual fee ever worth it?

Only if its extra rewards and credits beat the fee on your own spending. In this list the fee is already subtracted, so a $0-fee card and a $95 card are compared on what they actually leave you with.
