... Anyone tried this?

Marathon Visa card offers .25 a gallon rebate, (they already beat the truckstop prices by a wide margin.)

Rules are:

Spend $1,000 on your card in a month, get .25 a gallon rebate.

The purchases can be made anywhere, the rebate only applies to the gallons actually purchased at Marathon.

Since so much of the expediting takes place in the Marathon service area, it seems a good plan .. I'm sure gonna give it a try.

No cc charges if paid off each month ...

That sounds like a great deal, especially for vans. The savings and rebates would probably pay for a month of showers.

Both OVM .. no difference.

I computed I would save roughly $150.00 a month in fuel costs ...

And who takes showers anyway! :D (Maybe some other expediter would take mercy and swipe their card!)

a quote from the site...

Earn 25¢/gallon* rebate on all Marathon purchases - when you spend $1,000 or more per month with your Marathon Visa Card everywhere Visa is accepted, including Marathon.

The way I read it, you have to spend $1000 or more per month, then THEN you get the .25 REBATE. It's a "too good to be true" kind of deal to me.

I like the one we have..50 bucks off the last bill and since I pay it off every month...NO interest!:)
but it's 3%.

You can use the card for ANY purchase, (like airline tickets), to get the $1,000 mimimum. Then Marathon rebates .25 on your FUEL purchases. The gift certificate can then be used for future fuel purchases.

Hence ... fuel savings .... and no, you don't get more rebates on the purchases made with the certificates.
