    Just want to know if you also pay ur gas via credit card. Marami din kasing promo ang mga credit card company and using it to pay gas will earn points for their respective promo :roll: Just want to know kung anong card ang widely accepted pagdating sa gas station.

    Di ba yung...
    Shell is Citibank
    Caltex is Equitable Card
    Petron is BPI

    Let's say Equitable or BPI and card ko and I use it at Shell, tanggapin kaya and vice versa? May experience na ba kayo ung card nyo ay hindi tinangap sa gasoline station?

    Thanks Kimpoy,

    Ako started using credit card last month lang. Pandagdag din ng points sa promo:lol:
    Puro cash din palagi before pero its better din pala to use card dahil natra-trackdown ko ang usage ko. Ok din lalo na kung wala kang cash:oops:

    pag kapos na sa budget (gamit na credit card) lalo na petsa de peligro yung mga 13th of the month or 29th of the month paubos na sweldo, usually yung ibang gasoline station di particular kung anong card mo basta master card pero yung iba talagang limited sa isang credit card co. para di daw masyadong matrabaho. (hirap din madalas gamit credit card baka ma over sa budget mo hirap magbayad kaya ako pang emergency lang).

    My wife uses card for her gasoline purchase while I use cash for buying diesel (just one of those differences between the male and female species). You may use any reputable card in any gas station regardless of affiliation (sayang ang negosyo) except in the provinces where it's mostly cash basis yata.

    mga peeps , wala bang sariling card ang mga gas companies na ito ? it's not advisable to use your credit card sa consumables , maybe nag build ka ng points pero yari ka naman sa interest rates nito , well unless emergencies yea pero if you have the cash make use of it .

    i always do.. petron bpi mastercard kasi petron lang maganda takbo ng oto ko eh. aside from the perks of free towing, price protection on increase, free car wash, may 1% rebate tapos may rewards points pa. aside from the fact na yung card came with an Ayala Discount Plus card tapos free parking sa glorietta. iba din treatment ng petron guys pag may Petron-Ayala VIP sticker ka sa likod.

    been using my visa at Shell or caltex for a full tank refueling........ no surcharge or other hidden charges naman.....just a normal credit card purchase....

    tip: so far I find the Shell station at Shaw blvd. near Nueve de pebrero the lowest among other gaso stations......17.63 per li on unleaded I think .....

    anyone found a more cheaper refueling place ?

    Yung Shell Citibank credit card is Mastercard. Sa Equitable Power Card ay Visa naman. As long as merchant ng gas station ay Visa / Mastercard pwede nilang tanggapin card mo. There are cases na di tumatanggap ng card ang gas stations. Isa na rito ay kung down / offline yung merchant pero bihira lang ito. Madalas na dahilan ay dahil sira yung T7 (kung saan nagswa-swipe ng card) or hindi nakapag-provide ng sales slip (yung pinipirmahan mo kapag ginamit mo credit card) yung bank.

    If you have an existing credit card with Citibank, just call their customer service and ask for a credit card application for Shell-Citibank Mastercard. Daming perks like rebates, free towing, discount sa iba't-bang accessories shops, etc....widely accepted pa ang Visa & Mastercard...

    kaya lang naman sila pinakamababa na Shell dahil sa Flying V... sobrang lapit lang sa kanila yun eh. dun ako lagi papagas except kung di na talaga aabot... mas gusto ko tulungan ang mga bagong companies kesa sa mga big3... anyway, kung kaya ng SHELL magbaba ng ganun kababa (dahil less than 5 mins away may competition) that means na kayang-kaya nila magbaba ng presyo at mukha lang talaga silang pera!!!

    I know for a fact na tinatapatan nila ang price ng V... kung magkano ang V, ganun din ang SHELL na yun...

    bastardos...

    yup gamit ko rin ang card ko para magpa karga nang gas...... kasi self service ang station rito kaya mapilatan kang pumunta sa counter para mag bayad. So para sa mga tamad ( like me :lol: )swipe na lang then karga.... beside sa points na ma earned mo from the bank..... mayroon pang another points galing sa bonus card.

    k na gamitin ang credit card sa mga gasolinahan ngayon di tulad nuong early 90s... wala na silang mga hidden charges ngayon at may bonus point ka pa... :lol:

    IMO lang po... Use your credit card for convenience and not for credit. Hindi yung gagamitin mo ito na wala ka namang budget na pambayad on due date. Once you start paying your outstanding balance in credit card for installment... patay ka na. Grabe ang interest charges. But if you pay everything on due date, nothing to worry about...

    mas apektado ng Uno Fuel and Shell sa Nuebe de Pebrero...ito ang mahigpit nilang competitor(Uno Fuel)(apektado din kami)...eto lang ang ipinagtataka ko....sobrang baba ng selling price(pump price) ng Shell na iyon...mababa pa sa presyo ng fuel na kinukuha namin sa Pandacan depot...hmmm :roll: .....ang alam ko lang na mapagkukunan ng mas murang fuel ay yung galing from Subic... IMHO kung loyal ako sa isang particular brand/station, doon na lang ako magpapakarga sa station na tama lang ang presyo...nakakasiguro pa ako na ang ikinakarga sa kotse ko ay yung fuel na galing talaga sa respective depot ng big3...kung habol talaga ng motorista ay mababang presyo...might as well refuel na lang sa mura talaga like Flying V, Uno Fuel, Sea Oil...kung walang problema sa takbo ng makina mo, wala namang masama magpakarga sa mga ito... :wink:

    It's ok to use credit cards sa gas stations or in any other merchant for that matter. just make sure that whatever is reflected on your statement of accounts will be paid in full. Convenience ang primary purpose ng credit card, using it for something else will lead you nowhere but trouble:mrgreen:

    Yup i do use gas credit card (not VISA or Mastercard), since here in the U.S. very abundant ang Chevron gas station, i got myself a Chevron gas card. I have a $2000 credit line but usually spends like less than $70 a month. And yes very convenient since everytime i swipe the gas card it is approved in less than 5 secs.

Do you use credit card to pay gas?
