Are you aware that Costco Visa card 4% cash back for gas purchase only applied at Costco location? Mad

You will earn 4% cash back on eligible gas worldwide, including gas at Costco, for the first $7,000 per year in gas purchases and then 1% thereafter. You will only earn 1% cash back, not 4%, for gas purchased at superstores, supermarkets, convenience stores and warehouse clubs other than Costco or for fuel used for non-automobile purposes. These merchants are excluded: Ahold, Albertson's, BJ's, Canadian Tire Corp Ltd, Carrefour, City Market, Food 4 Less, Food Giant, Fred Meyers, Fresh Food Centers, Fresh Market, Fry's Fuel, Giant Eagle, IGA INC, Ingles Markets, King Soopers, Kroger, Loaf N Jug, Loblaw, Meijer, Piggly Wiggly, Ralph's, Ralph's Fuel, Safeway, Sam's Club, Smith's Fuel, Supervalu, Target, Tesco, Von's Fuel, Wakefern Food Corp, Walmart, and Winn-Dixie. This is a list that was provided to us for all exclusions as they are considered Costco competitors This information is stated with in the accounts terms and conditions when applying for the card and available on the statements. You can find cash back rewards details on www.citi.com/costco .

I keep using Costco card at Sam's club gas station for years. If I was aware of this fact, I would use another card which offers me at least 3% on gas purchase at any gas station. Huge lost for me! MadMadMad

I guess the best thing is DO NOT USE COSTCO CARD unless you're shopping at Costco. Costco also accepts other VISA card, and at least Bank of America also give me 2% cash back for shopping at wholesale store including Costco, Sams Club, BJ's...

You will earn 4% cash back on eligible gas worldwide, including gas at Costco....

It is "worldwide" AND at Costco. I have purchased out of state, it is 4%. Also, on the detailed statement of purchase categories, it shows earnings of 4% cashback when you use other gas stations...

I thought the same thing but it is NOT correct. You can open the link above and read the tiny detail at the end. I chatted with few representatives to complain about my reward amount for gas purchase not correctly calclulated. They told me gas purchase at a Costco's competitors only gets 1%. ONLY 1%. Other cards give me at least 3% on gas. BE AWARE!!!
