Shell's card is OK.  You get rebates in Shell gasoline.  The
rebate used to max out at $70 per year but I believe it may be
higher now.  I personally prefer the Private Issue card issued by
Discover.  The rebate is up to 2% of the amount charged (not sure
what the max is - there didn't use to be one, but now one has been
implemented).  I find that PI is accepted pretty much everywhere I
want to use it and the cash is more welcome than the gasoline.  It
got to the point where I found myself paying a premium just to use
my Shell rebates when I could have saved money at a competing gas
station.

You may want to check out the web site:  Credit Card Goodies at
http://www.ece.gatech.edu/users/flur/.  You'll find more
information than you ever thought existed on affinity cards there.

Regards,

Andrea

I believe this is a rehash of an old thread but I'm looking for
credit cards
(prefer MC/Visa) that offer rebates that beat Discover Card's.
Discover pays up to 1%.

I plan to charge about $7000 next year, so much of an annual fee
will wipe out the rebate benefit.   I've heard that Shell Gasoline
has a good card.  Anyone know?

Scott
