No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have a gas card (not a CC type card, a straight gas card). I got it over 10 years ago because there was a station near my house and one near my office. A couple of years ago they sold the only stations in town, so I don't get to use it unless I am travelling to other parts of the state. I didn't want to close it because it is very old, and I want to keep it going, so I use it about once every 6 months or so (I checked with them and they deem a card inactive after 12 months of non-use). Because it is only a gas card, I can't put a regular payment on it to keep it going.
This week they sent me a letter - they have applied a credit of $5 to my card that I can get if I use the card in the next month!!
Interesting, I thought
Hey MV
Now this is just an ideal. Does the gas card offer a cash advance?My Chevron card offers me $120 cash advance.If so could you use the card every now and then for a cash advance to keep it alive.10 years is a lot of history to give up.

Nope. Can only be used in QT gas stations.
And I checked - I opened it in Febryary 1996, so I want to keep it alive as long as possible!
The nearest gas station is 110 miles away
But I go to that area every month, I just need to remember to use that station next time.
And PIF at once so I don't forget!!!

There is something kind of charming about the thought that you have to drive 220 miles, probably 7 - 9 gallons of gas by most people's mileage, in order to buy gas.
Well, I have to go there the week after next, so I will just have to remember to go to their gas station.
