That equals a little over 1%. I would add to this list the Bank of America Cash Rewards card, it offers 3% back on gas and 2% back on groceries. For everything else it gives 1% back.

However, if you're looking for a mix of rewards with your card, we like the current Chase Freedom offer. You'll still be able to rack up gas rewards plus it comes now with a $150 bonus (higher than the $100 bonus mentioned in this post) after $500 in purchases within 3 months. It's a limited time offer...

It returns 5% on Shell gas purchases. The interest rate is hideously high, but I pay off the balance every month. Also, there is an annual fee... that is waived if you make 9 Shell purchases in the prior year... for me, this essentially means no annual fee. The PenFed card easily beats this one... but like I said, I only pump Shell gas, so it's really no different. I ALWAYS pump Shell gas, so I have a Shell Citi MasterCard.

It used to be 1% on everything else, but they recently changed it, and also made the cash back in $25 increments, as opposed to automatically just coming off the following billing cycle. But still, 5% is 5%, and Shell stations are everywhere in Northeast Ohio.

Gaining membership is so easy and plus it's a Visa versus American Express. Plus a lot of people don't have Costco membership so wouldn't you end up having to pay for the Amex?
