? The Amex card from Costco pays 3% on gas everywhere. We have the executive membership so we get another 1% on gas at Costco. If you don't have the executive membership check it out. It costs another $50 a year and you get 1% back on all Costco purchases. At the end of the year they mail you a check for the 1% savings. Take it to the service desk and if your 1% back doesn't amount to $50 they'll still hand you $50. You're savings plus the difference to make $50. If it's more than $50 then they'll give you that. Take the cash then do your shopping and pay with the card, more earnings. They have your $50 for a year but you can't really lose, not like the bank is going to pay you anything if you keep it there.
I don't pay for anything with cash, to many credit card companies that want to pay me to use their card. Mind you, I don't ever pay them interest charges because we always pay the cards off every month. As long as they're going to pay me I'll use their card.
