Chase Ultimate Rewards are probably the most valuable. Get the Ink Bold or Ink Plus and pick up gas cards at an office supply store for 5x points. I keep a stock of shell cards in my card.  I know Staples sells Shell, and I think Office Depot sells Exxon/Mobile. Dan's post on A List Of Gift Cards Sold By Office Supply Stores has all the info.

ETA: Welcome to the boards, have fun saving/earning!

thanks and thanks for ur help. Is chase more worthwhile than a cash back offer (wont be spending alot more on the credit card)?

Chase Freedom gives you 5 points this quarter.
They usually have one quarter a year that is 5 points per dollar which I find much easier then dealing with gift or prepaid card.

Its gonna end by end of the month though

Yeah but I'd rather do CVS this quarter and prepaid gas gcs.

Plus gas gcs get the cash price.

dan think that freedom is a better option than ink cards also is there a post about a private individual applying for a business card

Dont they get 10 cents below cash price? Or is that only in Shell?

Why would you rather do CVS?

If you don't go the route of gift cards with Chase Ink cards, and in months when the 5x category is not gas, you may wish to consider the the Amex Premier Rewards Gold Card which gives 2X points on gas.

I'm assuming the best way to purchase gas would be the gc from ppdg and then pay with a ink card earning 5x Vs. Using an exxon/mobile credit card which gets you the first 2 months 20 cents of the gallon, and then after that with 6¢  of the gallon and double plenti points with each gallon, instead of one per gallon 2 points per each gallon?
 Also calculating the cash price when using the gc from ppdg it will probably be a huge difference in savings? (assuming the prices are not the same for cash and credit.)

This saves $1.50/gallon minus the cost of MOs and GC fees.  (and a LOT of running around and buying things you don't necessarily really need)
