I'm sure it is a good invention, there just seems to be a lot of room for error. Human error, to be sure, and there is that saying that something is only as smart as the people who invented it. Or maybe that applies to computer programs, that they are only as smart as the people inputting the information. Whichever, I still don't trust it.
I am pretty sure the only place you can use a gas credit card is at the gas station. Although, maybe there are some of these credit cards out there like the auto credit cards, where for every purchase you make you get credit toward a new car. Maybe there are credit cards that have a percentage of your purchase applying toward gas for your car. That would be kind of neat.
I wonder how they figure that percentage out, maybe it is something small like one percent, or maybe a good size percentage, like ten percent. No, probably something less than ten percent. I'm sure that would be too much for any credit card company to want to pay out. Or, maybe you just accumulate as you go and then the company credits your statement if you fill up with gas and it shows up on the statement. Who knows?
