Running the Everyday Preferred for gas this quarter, 3x MR provided I meet my 30 transactions per month which works for me.

I'm using BofA Cash rewards -- I don't have another 3% or higher CB card for Gas.

Using Freedom for restaurants.

BCE, I guess for grocery.

Sallie Mae MC or Amex TrueEarnings for gas at Costco

For me here it seems like its only shell stations that do the 100 dollar hold thing when you use your cc to pay. For that reason alone i don't go to shell stations to fill up. The other gas stations in this area usually just do an hold of 1 dollar. As far as which card i am going to use for filling up gas. I may just rotate my BCP and TE cards. They both get 3% on gas. I want to use my TE card some since it hasn't been getting much use since Discover and Freedom both had 5 % off on restaurants and gasoline the first quarter.

Did you get a special invite or something to get 5% for gas?

Using my BCP for 3%.

 

Quarters like this where the Freedom and IT cards are borderline the same thing tempt me to app for the Sallie Mae card.  I have no use for these home improvement categories at all.

800+ across all three (via FAKOs) has been achieved! Current goal - Get down to 6 cards in total - sitting with 8 currently.
