  • Joe Weider:
    I’ve got some very important information for anyone interested in running a marathon. No, I don’t mean people who actually want to run 26.2 miles, rather people interested in owning a Marathon gas station franchise: While Marathon used to be a single company with oil and gas operations under the same umbrella, it has since split into two, the Marathon Oil Corporation and the Marathon Petroleum Corporation. I’m joking anyway, as you’ve likely come to this page because you’re interested in opening the Marathon Credit Card. The above information can still serve as a fun fact, but why don’t we get into what the Marathon Card has to offer. In months that you spend at least $1k wherever Visa is accepted, you get $0.25/gal. off of Marathon gas purchases. In months that you spend between $500 and $1k you get $0.15/gal. off, and in months that you spend less than $500, you get $0.05/gal. off. The Marathon gas credit card therefore is obviously only suited for relatively high spenders who get their gas solely at Marathon stations. I mean, if you get gas elsewhere or spend less than$500 in a month, the savings you derive won’t really be worth it. Those who get gas exclusively at another station (or could do so) should probably get the card tied to that station. Some of the best are the BP Credit Card (5% cash back on BP gas), the ExxonMobil Card (around 4% off) and the Shell Card (up to roughly 6% off). If you either do not meet the aforementioned spending benchmark most months or get gas at various stations, a credit card offering generic gas rewards is probably best. My favorite is the Blue Cash Everyday Card from Amex, as it gives you 3% cash back at supermarkets, 2% at any gas station or department store, and 1% on everything else. Getting the right gas credit card comes down to evaluating your habits as a consumer and identifying the card that corresponds to them best. If you are a brand-loyal Marathon gas customer and you charge over $500 each month, then the Marathon Credit Card would be helpful; if not, you should explore the alternatives.
