Posted on Wednesday August 20th, 2008 by lights
All that you hear on the radio to work these days have something to do with the rising cost of gas. No good news, all bad news except that there's always been this card that gave you a 6% rebate on all eligible gas purchases made at any gas station for the first 90 days. Thereafter, you still get 3% gas rebates on all eligible gas purchases at any gas station! You also get a 1% rebate on all purchases made anywhere else. Like most cards, you get a 0% intro APR for up to 6 months, no annual fee and a reward program that is second to none because well, it's Chase! CHASE PERFECTCARD MASTERCARD
- Update: For those of you who are near or use BP gas stations, Chase has a BP Visa card that gives you a 5% rebate on all participating BP location purchases. Yes, you're reading that right. So it's not just limited to GAS, you can get the GAS and some Ding Dongs, a slurpee, and and put it on to receive the 5% discount straight off. You also get 2% rebates on all eligible travel and dining purchases and a 1% rebate on all other eligible purchases. And from what they're saying, there are no limit on the rebates.
