I didn’t know ARCO accepted CC’s, HLS. And I’m only a one-person household (except holidays) so I’ll never hit the $6K AMEX grocery award limit … ever :=0

Then you strengthen my point!!
What’s so great about a card that costs $75
that you don’t even max out the rewards ??
ARCO-AM/PM does not take credit cards, however with 3%-5% promotions on credit cards, I buy ARCO Gift Cards at Albertsons.
You can use the gift cards at the pump at updated locations so no need to go inside to pay.
Net cheaper than Costco, without the lines.
I don’t think buying gift cards is coded differently,
but if you aren’t maxing out your $6000 grocery spend
to get 6%, consider buying gift cards at grocery stores
for restaurants, gas stations & stores that you can use or give as gifts.
At gas stations like SHELL, I think using a gift card gets you the cash price, so there’s a possible benefit there too. Avoid paying the credit card surcharge at the pump, and possibly get 6% back off the cash price.
Lots of ways to benefit from offers & promotions.
Isn’t Saving $ like tax free net income ??
