American Express
 
Is there a specific Amex card that gets you that cash back deal for fuel purchases? I heard they just put a limit on the amount of gallons they'll credit you with. What is that limit.

thanks

Amex Simply Business just put a limit on I believe it was 75 gallons or cash equivalent (how they would know that I don't know) it's only for auto gas but they can't tell that either. I get the rebate on truck fuel.

Amex Blue Cash has 5% back but you need to spend I think it is $6500 to start to earn the 5% cash back on fuel and 1.5% on all other purchases. Before the $6500 I think you earn 1%. This is supposed to be for personal purchases only but they can't tell. And this is good up to $50,000 in spending

They have a new card Amex Plum which gives you 2% back on all purchases if you pay your bill within the first 10 days and you spend over $5,000

Chase has a business card that gives you 3% back on fuel and restaurant purchases and a few other I think. I only use this for food purchases and my daily iced coffee (or two :) )

Double check everything I just said as all of this is off the top of my head but if you want to find a good credit card go here http://www.fatwallet.com/t/52/711457/

Actually that's what I've been doing for the last couple of hours as I don't feel like breaking up my fuel purchases and I don't want to mix personal with business so if I start using Amex Blue Cash then I need to find another card for Mrs. Merrick. Use to be plenty of them but they are getting harder and harder to find. A good one still around is by PenFed which is the Pentagon Federal Credit Union which has good rates for a lot of different things.

I just got offered the " Plum " card by Amex. I don't like the terms though.... I use my AMEX Platinum charge card and my Citi Drivers Edge for fuel.

I use the chase business card with premier cash rebate, its 3% on restaurants, business supplies, fuel, home improvement stores and building supply stores as well as 1% back on all other purchases, theres also no limit on the rewards, i`ve got my truck and my wifes heavy haul truck under the same corporate umbrella now and we`ve easily hit 6 figures in spending on the card yet our rewards keep racking up.


I was getting 5% off a visa platinum but that went tits up after 7 months

The Chase Business, if it's the same one I have, is a Visa which I can't use at the Flying J.

Also the Drivers Edge card is if I"m not mistaken not a cash rebate card and they have really devalued the Thank You Network points over the last year.

75 gallon limit? That sucks.

I'm also using the Amex simply cash business card. 5% back on fuel. But like the others have said, the new rule for 75 gallons takes effect in Dec. It sucks to have to split up fuel purchases. I thought I wouldn't mind it, but I do. I'll be shopping around.

Hmm. What if you have 3 cards?

That would have worked for me on my last load of onions. I could only put that much in my tanks without being over weight.
