Forbes Advisor looked at dozens of offers to find and rank the best gas cards by comparing them on a variety of factors including:
- Earnings rates on gas: 35% of overall score
- Rewards flexibility: 20% of overall score
- Annual fees: 15% of overall score
- Overall earning rates: 10% of overall score
- Welcome bonuses: 10% of overall score
- Eligibility criteria: 10% of overall score
Forbes Advisor rates cards both as stand-alone products (the card rating on the review) and compared to others in a specific use case. Sometimes, cards with average stand-alone ratings may still rank highly on a particular list according to how a person looking for a card in that category may value certain card features.
For instance, a card that might be considered mediocre overall could be the top card on a list of rewards cards with no annual fee. That’s because the card might offer limited features compared to other rewards cards, but after we remove cards that charge an annual fee, it’s the best card that remains.
Forbes Advisor reevaluates each credit card list at least every 12 months to determine if any cards need to be added and/or removed. However, a list could be updated sooner if significant changes are made to the mentioned cards or if a new credit card is announced that’s likely to impact the category.
