Do you want to earn 10c on the gallon from all you electronic gas purchases for the next 12 months?.... Yes?.... O.K, you're in luck. Just apply for the Chevron basic card and it's a done deal.
To help convince you even more, take a look at the other benefits:
' No annual fee
' Revolving credit terms so you can manage your money better
' Itemized statements so you can track your expenses
I would love to add a very attractive APR to my tempt list, but the variable rate is 21.25%, which could be deemed as high depending on the APRs on your existing credit cards.
So let's look at the second offer in the Chevron range and see if I could bring you round.
This card is the Chevron Premium card and there is an annual membership fee of $25, but compared to the benefits you'd realise the fee is quite minimal.
Here's what you'll be entitled to:
' 50% lodging discounts
' Airline and car rental cash backs
' Travel insurance
' 5% - 50% travel savings
The APR for the Premium card is not found on the website, which is unfortunate because I believe in giving you full transparency so that a well informed decision can be made. For now we will hazard a guess that it will not be more than 21.25%
I have one more option to show you which is the Chevron Business Card. As the name suggests, this card is most beneficial to businesses and can be used to purchase most everything sold at Chevron outlets, from tires to snacks.
The benefits to the business owner are:
' Enjoy more control over vehicle expenses
' Lower your administrative costs
' Simplify budgeting
' Two different ways you can receive your monthly statements
' Increase security
The benefits go on and on, if you want to see them all, you can visit http://www.chevrontexacocards.com.
If you are in a particularly giving mood, the Chevron gift cards would be useful. Purchase them for your friends, family, customers, employees or anyone else you can think of. The card designs are quite nice too; there is one of a race car and one that looks a lot like Lightening McQueen from the Pixar movie Cars. (Endorsements sure worked out well for him)
You can purchase your gift card online or at your local Chevron dealer.
And there you have it; all the cards offered by Chevron. Have I done enough to convince you? If not, there are many other gas credit cards on the market so I'm sure you will find something that is well suited to you.

What's wrong with buying gas on a non-gas credit card?
I just got a credit card and I was having a discussion with a friend about it and telling her that we were going to use the credit card (starting out anyways) every time we go get gas for our cars or the lawnmower. She said that you should never use a regular credit card on gas because it was a commodity and that I should get a gas credit card if I wanted to do that. Can someone explain the reasoning behind this to me?
Do you think maybe she was referring to the difference in APRs (in non-gas versus gas credit cards)?
Answer
There's no reason for not using your 'regular' credit card for gasoline purchases. But you can definitely benefit more if you used a 'gas' credit card. Since you can earn rebates / cash back every time you used a gasoline card, you can (in effect) lower your overall gas costs with one of these offers. You can find a great list of gasoline credit cards here:

TIP: You might consider using 2 credit cards instead of one. Use your regular credit card (with lower APR) for long-term purchases you can't payoff right away. This way, you pay less on interest while you carry the balance.
Use a reward credit card (ie. gasoline card) as your second credit card and only charge things you can pay off quickly. Even if the reward card has a higher APR, if you pay it off the balance each month-- you'll avoid the extra interest and earn rewards for your card usage!
Hope this helps!
