Hi. I emailed Amex and they said yes, I would get this new rate on gas — I have the aqua blue card — and it is not for a limited time but their new set promo rate on gas.

It works at Costco and stand alone gas stations but not gas stations that are part of stores (like a Safeway/Vons gas station or a Sam’s Club gas station).

I usually get gas at Costco and a gas station near my home, but occassionally get gas at Safeway or Von’s, especially when I get the 10 cent off promo — bummer it’s not for all gas stations.

Costco also has the Business TrueEarnings Card which is superior to the regular Costco TrueEarnings card. It gives:

5% back for gas
3% for eating out
2% for traveling and
1% for everything else.

Of course, it requires that you have a business account, which gives you an additional 2% back on Costco purchases but costs $100/yr. It also has lots of other benefits, which accrue throughout the year.

SC: According to the offer, only TrueEarnings card is eligible for the 3% rebate on gas, not the Costco AMEX platinum card.

I emailed Amex about this. I have the Costco credit card and haven’t heard a peep about this–is it a promo or is the 3% now the new rewards rate on gas? I’ve had the card for about 2 years. I really hope they give this new rewards rate to every Amex Costco cardholder because the 2 main places I get gas (Costco and a nearby gas station) both take Amex. I sometimes also fill up at my local Safeway–and they also take Amex.
