The penfed looks like a good choice for OP, but correct me if I'm wrong: you can't just up and apply for it. You have to be in the credit union, and does that not require going through some hoops? If you aren't eligibile for it, it's no good.


Unlike say NFCU, Penfed is open to all by making a donation to one of two organizations.   And sure, it's not always that easy to get  a Penfed card, but it's not THAT hard.

And if OP plans on doing this as a job, worth trying!

Ahh i see i thought for some reason Penfed was an lot harder to get than most cards. 


PenFed seems to be quick to cite pyramiding so you do have to be careful about new accounts and balances.

 

It's actually 3% with a $25 AF but "with qualifying product" it's 5% with no AF.  See their site for details.  I'd recommend it.  An MM Savings Account is one of the qualifying products and has a $25 minimum deposit to open.  No caps and rewards are automatically credited each statement.

It's not much of a hoop for PenFed.  Like many other CU's their eligibility info is on their site.

Yes but you can join and apply for a card with the same HP.

Just be sure this truck driving you plan to do is in a truck that uses Gasoline, and not Diesel.

 

I don't know if these gas cards would work at places that sell diesel to truckers.

Love Sallie. She even gives 5% back on what you buy in the gas station convenience store itself.

That's cool and all but with the fact that a gas conveinience store is gonna be way more expensive than buying the items elsewhere you are still better off buying the items at the grocery store vs the 5% at the convenience store

Depends...We have a couple of conv stores here that are pretty much on par with grocery stores on prices. Very popular.
