Rebate Formula - The Chase PerfectCard™ MasterCard®
is a gas credit card that allows the cardholder to earn rebates on all gasoline purchases at ANY station. For the first 90 days after you get your card, you can earn 6% rebates on gasoline purchases. Thereafter, you earn 3% rebates. You will earn 1% rebates for other purchases.
Fees - There is no annual fee for this card. If you are have a chase account and are considered for either "elite" or "premium" pricing, you may be offered an introductory 0% apr on balance for 12 months. If you are considered for "standard" pricing, you may be offered a 0% apr on balance transfer for 3 months. The apr ranges from either prime rate plus 5.99%, 9.99% or 14.99% depending on your credit. Chase uses average daily balance method to calculate monthly balances.
Verdict - The Chase PerfectCard™ MasterCard® is one of the best gas credit card to get given today's high gas prices. You can use this card at any gas stations. While there are some cards like Discover that pays 5% on gasoline purchase, they normally limit them to $100 per month in gas spending. That is already one fill up! If you travel a lot and use various gas stations, this is a great gas credit card to get.
