Please drop the useless td bank from your list. If it only last 6 months. It's useless.

I don't use a rotater for gas. I use the PenFed Platinum Cash Rewards card. It's 5% no limit with qualifying product (I have a money market savings account). Rewards are automatically issued as statement credits at the end of each cycle.

Yeah, people don't read stickies either. The charts can be handy but that sort of comparison is what each individual should be doing any time one is considering cards. Instead of relying on a chart one should be considering one's specific spend, major categories, etc. A chart can't cover every possible permuation of variables.

Best gas card, best grocery card, best general cashback card. Make a general (arguably controversial) heading called best credit card for: and sub-threads / thread with these fantastic charts.
Others (or you yourself) could then contribute on getting the best card(s): scores required, profiles needed, link to recon number etc.

FICO already has stickies at the top of every page, advertizing their 'best cards'. They probably get advertizing money for their choice of best cards, which aren't anywhere near what my charts mathematically imply are best for each spending pattern.
Putting my charts on permanent display might cause friction once they realized the conflict of interest
I use AARP for 3% since I can't seem to get approved for any of the year round 5% gas cards.
No one's mentioned CreditOne Platinum with 1% gas rewards and no grace period.!

Indeed, If you have no other choice. Then it effectively is the best cashback card for gas.
