Points and miles are currently my preferred credit card reward currencies, but there was a time when cash back was my top choice.
Of the eight cards in my wallet, three are cash back products; I continue to hold all three because two of them — the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express and the Discover it® Cash Back — account for a significant portion of my credit history.
I added the third one, the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi (see ), to my wallet in 2023, and it's been putting in work ever since.
The Costco Anywhere Visa shines in two areas where my household spends a lot of money: Costco and gas purchases. It also features solid cash-back rates in popular bonus categories, making it a great option for Costco members who want to maximize their cash back earnings.
Let's discuss why the Costco Anywhere Visa might be a great fit for you.
Earns cash back in key categories
Most of my family lives within a three-hour drive from me, so fueling up to drive back and forth to visit them can add up. Fortunately, the generous 5% cash back on gas at Costco and 4% cash back on other eligible gas and electric vehicle (EV) charging for up to $7,000 in combined spending each year (then 1%), giving me a chance to earn rewards on every trip I make.
Additionally, my household includes a daily commuter who fills up twice a week and is an authorized user on my Costco Anywhere Visa, earning me even more rewards in this category.
