BP Visa® Gas Rewards Card
The BP Visa® Gas Rewards Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those who have very good credit and plan to take advantage of the gas rewards program.
Through the rewards program, BP Visa® Gas Rewards cardholders earn rebates that can be applied towards free gasoline at BP gas stations. For the first two billing cycles, cardholders earn a 10% rebate on BP gas purchases; a 4% rebate on purchases at dining establishments, airlines, lodging facilities, and on car rentals; and a 2% rebate on all other purchases. After the first two billing cycles, cardholders earn a 5% rebate on BP gas purchases; a 2% rebate on purchases at dining establishments, airlines, lodging facilities, and on car rentals; and a 1% rebate on all other purchases. Every time cardholders earn $25 in rebates, they will have their choice of receiving a BP gift card or a cash back check or making a donation to The Conservation Fund.
Aside from the rewards program, the BP Visa® Gas Rewards Card also offers common platinum benefits such as travel accident insurance, auto rental insurance, and various travel and emergency assistance services.
The BP Visa® Gas Rewards Card has no annual fee and the APR for purchases is reasonable for those who qualify. In addition, the card offers a 0% introductory rate on balance transfers for the first six months.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate offered and plan to use the credit card at BP gas stations (to earn the standard non-promotional 5% rebate) will benefit most from what the BP Visa® Gas Rewards Card has to offer.
