Anybody with any current info on this card? Looking for a new gas card since Barclays and I are divorced.

Not necessarily current but there were reports of people being denied for not being in the service area

Thx LTL. I heard that too but verified that those out of state can get card with max of $2,500 for 1st year. Then it can grow up to $25k.

I know nothing about the Knox, but what about PenFed? I think it requires a direct deposit, but most people have fairly steady gas bills, so you can just DD the approximate amount you use per month to get past that.

I am a member of Fort Knox FCU and have had the card since 2011.   I joined through the American Council in 2011.  I live in San Diego, California. The card is great for the 5% cash back on gas and 1% on everything else.   They mainly pull TU for credit.

Penfed is definitely on my 2016 list. Waiting till my EQ is clean before I join.

Btw, you don't have to have dd for the 5% gas. Below are other ways to qualify.

It doesn't require direct deposit in that sense, to get 5% you need a "qualifying account" which can be a small ($25?) money market account.  No need to DD every month

Thank you! Exactly the info I'm looking for.

DD always seemed like the easiest option to me, but if you don't have split DDs through your employer, it could be a pain.

It not a easy card to get. I was still declined with good scores 750 range( no baddies). I got approved for penfed instead
