Ok guys and gals.....I just received my second prime card. Eddie Bauer Gold M/c 2500 cl. 69 BT and 12.99 go to rate. All things considered its not that bad since I broke out of sub prime hell. Good Bye, Household, and Providian! Also strange but I received 2 pre approvals today. One from Citgo, and funny thing is 2 months ago they turned me down, and a pre approval from BP/Amoco. I dont' know which one I want. I want one gas card and I am done applying for anything for a while. any suggestions anyone?
Congrats Terry, happy to hear of your new credit success! As far as gas cards, I think the chevron card is pretty good. I think they should be pretty easy to get, they report, and you will get 5 cents off per gallon if u apply. Good luck, -Roman
I would get more than one. You can get into areas where a particular gas company doesn't have stations. That's why I have 3. You don't have to worry about them authorizing $300 on your visa card or your debit card, for your $15 purchase. Yeah, really!
I only use PAY AT THE PUMP unless it is not available...the places I go to, "PRE-AUTHORIZE" $1.00 or $50.00...or 50 gallons x the price of the gas...so it should not exceed $100.00.
Well, George, you've obviously never used pay at the pump with your debit card and had them authorize way more than your purchase!! I use pay at the pump also. With the gas card, it authorizes the amt of purchase, with other cards it authorizes what it thinks you might pump and it doesn't know what your driving
VISA/MC/AMEX/DISCOVERCARD...NEVER HAD A VISA DEBIT...NEVER WILL. The closest thing was an ATM card, but they JACKED the free card to $10.00 I dumped it...
BP/Amoco has a lot more stations than CITGO. CITGO is the only Associates gas card that has ever given me a credit line increase.
