Rewards

• One of the primary reasons that you should get a gas credit card is so that you can benefit from rewards. Many of these cards give you a specific amount of rewards for every dollar that you spend on the card. These reward points accumulate and you can then use them to buy various items in the future. For example, you could use these points on travel packages, merchandise and other benefits.
  
  

Cheaper Gas

• One of the major benefits of a gas rewards credit card is saving money on gas. You typically get a certain percentage off when you buy gas. Some cards in the market can give you as much as 10 percent off when you purchase gas at the pump with your card. If a gallon of gas cost $3, this would save you $.30 per gallon, which can add up over time.
  
  

Extra Convenience

• Using a gas credit card can provide you with extra convenience over other payment methods. When you have a gas credit card, you can pull right up to the pump and pay for your gas with the card. You do not have to walk into the gas station, wait in line and then pay. Besides time saving at the pump, you also get a statement from the credit card company every month, which makes it easy to track exactly how much you spend on gas.
  
  

Building Credit

• A gas credit card helps build your credit. Gas credit cards are typically easy to get for most people. If you do not have a credit profile, you can get one of these cards and start using it for your gas purchases. When you make a payment to the credit card company, it is reported to the credit bureaus. This helps build your credit profile over time.
  
  

Fees

• You typically do not have to worry about paying any extra fees with gas reward credit cards. Most of these cards do not have an annual fee, which allows you to avoid extra out-of-pocket costs. When you buy gas and do not pay off the balance, you will be charged interest on the amount that remains on the card. Besides this interest, you usually do not have to pay anything else for the card.
