Go to penfed. They offer a 5% card as well. But you have to be a federal govt. employee or military in order to join. I believe there’s no max on how much you can get back.

Citibank has the AAdvantage debit card.
for every dollar you spend you get a mileage point back. So just fill up and buy everything with your Citibank AAdvantage Debit card and not only are you getting cheaper gas; membership perks at the Costco… but points for travel…
in the last five years I have had two round trip tickets to NYC from Miami, two more round trip tickets from Miami to London, England for me plus one more round trip ticked to Europe for my wife. Since I have to buy gas and other stuff anyway…. this beats most cash rebates (if you like free travel that is)

Here in CA, Thelocal Costco fuel manager tells me 95% of it is from Tesoro. Costco HQ takes bids /does contracts from refiners in all areas for it’s needs. It may buy a few loads of “spot” fuel from say Chevron if the prie is right and they need it on a certain day.

From his comments I would say in the SE and midwest where Citgo has refineries you “could” have fuel from Venezuelan crudes. Tesoro in CA refines mostly US crudes the San Joaquin Valley of CA, Alaskan North Slope and some imports from S.America and Mid-east.

does anyone know where Costco gets its gasoline from. Is it the Middle East (Saudi Arabia et al), Venezuela, or the US? I’m down to my last 2390480349000 chicken wings and looking forward to buying my barrel of olives which now cost less than a barrel of oil.

Sam's Club has similar restrictions on what credit cards you can use. In this case, it's Discover or a store charge only. However, you can buy Walmart/Sam's giftcards with the credit card of your choice at Wal-Mart and then use them at Sam's. The beauty of this is that Citi treats my local Super Wal-Mart as a grocery store, presumbaly because half of it is devoted to groceries. Thus, you can rack up great rewards on those gas/grocery/pharmacy cards at both Wal-Mart and Sam's Club. See here for details on the CitiCard Sam's Club loophole.

Hahaha, I always try to do my Costco shopping on Saturday so I can snag some free snacks. I like trying products I probably would never buy at Costco (not going to buy 23904820349230 chicken wings because if I don’t like it, I’ll still have 23904820349229 wings I don’t like).

Check out the deal I got at Costco at http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2005/06/great\_buy\_at\_co.html. Paid for a full year’s membership with one purchase.

FYI — warning: REALLY CHEAPO tip coming: Visit Costco around 11:30 am on a Saturday and get a free lunch. They have so many food samples that if you try them all, you won’t be hungry until dinner!
