Cash Back Credit Cards

[NR]

Citi Bank cut the cash back they give their card holders for gas, food and
drug store purchases from 5% to 2%. It looks like most other credit card
companies are no longer offering 5% cash back on these types of purchases or
are offering 5% for only a limited time. Or they offer 5% for purchases in
less popular categories and rotate the categories every 3 months or so.
Discover Card does this and based on the categories I've seen I would be
much better off always getting 5% or even 3% on gas, food and drugstore
purchases instead of the Discover rotating categories.

Does anyone know of any credit cards still offering 5% cash back for gas,
food and drug store purchases? The best I've seen is 3%.

I received a prescreened mail offer yesterday yesterday from Chase -
Visa (www.sendmethecard.com) which reports a 3% rebate on all purchases
on your top three spending categories with 1% on everything else - No
fee with $100 cash back after your first purchase.

It could be of interest if used just for perhaps gas, groceries & one
other of 15 categories.

Discover offers a gas card that gives 5% cashback. However, the 5%
rate is only applied to the first $1200 worth of gas purchases each
year (i.e., max $60 cashback per year at the higher rate), then it
drops to a lower rate.

I use about 400 gallons of gas per year commuting, so I just max out
the benefit. YMMV ;-)
