Hey guys I just found another good 5% gas card and the categories is really good too for a no annual fee! Check this out!
https://www.aerofcu.org/Spend/Credit-CardThat does look interesting. There are caps on the categories, $7K for gas, $9K for entertainment and $12k for travel. If those caps are OK, looks like a good card as it is also a flat 2% card on everything else.
Should be FoTM!
I dunno about a FoTM, but maybe for those who would be eligible? So, maybe 5 MF members? You should try it @longtimelurker 
Membership in AFCU is open to those having the following common bond:
- Employees of The Aerospace Corporation.
- Military and civil service personnel of the U.S. Government who work at the Los Angeles Air Force Base.
- Persons retired as pensioners or annuitants from the above employment groups.
- Employees of contractors who work at The Aerospace Corporation or at the Los Angeles Air Force Base.
- Employees of this credit union.
- Immediate family and household members of the above referenced groups.
- Spouses of persons who died while within the field of membership of this credit union.
There may be exceptions, but as a general statement, all gas comes through the same pipe. The only difference between brands is additives. I suppose there could also be quality control issues with some stations, but not really at a brand level. I nearly always buy either Sam's Club gas or Shell gas, due to pricing/memberships. It all works the same for me.
How to get the Shell loyalty card - search for "sign up for shell fuel rewards" or click this link:

I have no affiliation with Shell except as a customer, just answering a question about how to sign up for that program.

Yes, my late spouse was eligible. I can't quite remember which group, or even her name, but.... please let me in!

I've read some people say that you also get the 2% CB for being an exec member on top of the 4% the card offers? It's hard to check because there's no detailed earning activity for either the 2% cashback or even the credit card. It annoys me not knowing exactly how much I'm earning per purchase.
Look at page 2 or 3 of your statement. You should see a breakdown per statement period of 4% bonus, 3% bonus, 2% bonus, 1% bonus. If further questions, just see individual line items to see what added up to which bonus. Unless you charge a ton on the card, it's not usually difficult to follow or calculate.
Yes, if you're Executive, you should be getting that 2% on all warehouse purchases (including gasoline) for up to a $1000 total rebate per year. ($50K in total annual spend.) Difference in AF is about $60 per year (Basic: $60; Executive: $120).
From Costco's Web site:
https://www.costco.com/executive-rewards.html
In the U.S., Rewards are not calculated: (i) on purchases of cigarettes or tobacco-related products, gasoline, Costco Shop Cards, postage stamps, alcoholic beverages in certain states (including Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee), and at food courts; (ii) on membership fees; (iii) on purchases not recorded through Costco’s front-end registers and transactions done on or through websites not hosted by Costco even if accessed through Costco.com, including all business, consumer, and insurance services, the Online Photo Center, and the My Publisher website; (iv) on miscellaneous fees, deposits and taxes, including sales tax and shipping; (v) where prohibited by law or regulation; (vi) on purchases made by anyone other than the account’s Primary or Primary Household Cardholder; (vii) on travel purchases: surcharges, gratuities, trip protection, travel purchased through a third party, upgrades, rental car equipment, resort charges and port charges; and (viii) on certain other categories as determined at Costco’s discretion, which may change without notice.
