AMEX - True Earnings® Card from Costco and American Express is a great cash back card for everyone. With gas prices increasing every other day, this card lures us with a 3% cash back on gas purchases. Other attractive incentives include 3% cash back for restaurants, 2% cash back on travel and 1% cash back everywhere else including Costco.In addition, they have introduced a $25 statement credit after first purchase with the card.
Another cool thing about this card is that it doubles up as our Costco membership card. That means one less card to carry. And the best part is that it has no annual fee with a paid Costco Membership.
