I swear there was a thread about this like a week ago but I couldn't find it so sorry if this was just discussed.

I was looking to get a credit card solely for paying for gas and to build up credit. Good and bad to this idea? Also, given what I am going to be using it for, what is the best card to get?

doesn't really matter what card you get if you plan on paying it off every month. i guess you could try to find one that had gas reward points or something, but for now, just get one and make sure to pay it off each month.

OP,
Your best bet might be to get a company-specific card. I know my parents use a Shell card that offers rewards at Shell stations -- these rewards are probably greater than for a generic card or even a generic gas rewards card. Could be inconvenient if you're in foreign places a lot, but works well if there's a specific station you'll be able to full up at a lot.

That's what I figured but Shell's site doesn't say the personal cards offer any extra incentives unless i missed something? But I thought I saw a sign at a shell that said 1% off with a shell card or something? Any other card recommendations would be great.
