I thought I would share a little way that we save on our gasoline expense.

I have a Chase credit card. Each quarter they offer 5% cash back on a certain category. Two quarters per year, one of the categories it is gasoline. We also have a Speedway gasoline rewards card when we earn points to received free rewards. So I combine them and reap double!

Each year during January, February, and March. Chase offers the 5% on all gasoline purchases. So I use my Chase credit card to buy $800.00 worth of gift cards. I will get $40.00 back from Chase. I also use my Speedway Rewards to get 8000 bonus points for buying the gifts card. Then each week when I get gasoline, I pay using the gift certificate and get more Speedway Reward points!

In other words, I purchase enough Speedway gift cards while the 5% promotion for gasoline is on to last until the next time that promotion is on in July, August, and September. I get 5% cash back from Chase, get Speedway Rewards points for buying the gift cards and then also get rewards when I pay with my gift card. We usually redeem our Speedway Rewards for a free $100. gift card about every 13 months!
