Free Money! 7 Cents off gasoline!

I mentioned before that we are using an American Express card with a cash rewards program, and incurring no interest charges by paying it off in full every month. If the cash back doesn't float your boat, how's this:

Last Friday, I filled up my car's gas tank with petrol at a rate of $2.429 per gallon*. The reward is 3% on gasoline. That works out to a discount of 7.287 cents per gallon. With gas at $2.43 everywhere, I can go anywhere and pay $2.36.

Why would you NOT sign up for something like this?

*That was before work. It dropped 4 cents while I was at work. Oh well. Now it's $2.36 everywhere. Maybe it's finally beginning.
