You should choose a shell credit card because you can be confident that almost where ever you travel to there will be a shell station and you will be able to use your card. A shell credit card has advantages because the company is so large and it is a name that you know and can trust. Sure you can secure a Joe's fly by night gasoline card but are you sure that where ever you go Joe will have a fly by night station where you can use your card?
This is not to say that Joe is a bad guy or his gas stations are bad. What it does say is it is nice to have a gas credit card in case of emergency and if there is an emergency it is nice to know there is a shell station just around the corner where you can use your credit card. There are advantages to going with a proven winner and when it comes to your money and your credit that should be reason enough to go with a name that you know and trust.
You can save money with one of these credit cards if you get a low interest rate. You can also save money with your shell credit card when they run special money saving promotions which are a great way to save money. Everyone has to buy gasoline so when you get a discount on it and save money it's a real bonus. You can use your card to build your credit also and when you build your credit score your interest rates will go down and that's a great way to save money.
