Fuel Cards...are they worth it?

[tiedeman]

Are fuel discount credit cards really worth it? I just read an article in "PLANET Advantage" about how one company saves 3 percent in fuel a month, around $75 each month.

But is a fuel card really worth it? Or would it just be another debt card that you might have to worry about if you didn't pay it off each month?

Well, I use a Speedway Mastercard. I get a 4% rebate on anything from there, and 1% rebate on everything else. I put all my business expenses on there, and last year saved about $1500 ... I remember having to explain to the accountant 2 times why my receipts didnt match the money I paid! LOL

Now Billz do you get the instant rebate right then on your next statement, or is it a reward that you have to claim? Thanks

Mine comes right on each statement... in the summer when I was using alot of gas, sometimes it was $200 a month.
