Reward Gas Cards, only $25.00 increments.

[TheRatPack]

I saw on Southwest Rewards that they offer gas reward Visa cards. They only have $25.00 value though, and no way to combine them that I see on the website.

So...it'll take us roughly $350.00 in gas, roundtrip for our October vacation. We can't really use the points that we have to fly....they only fly out of Atlanta and that's 2 hours away from us. To book a connecting flight or drive to Atlanta to fly out would be inconvenient so we're trying to maximize gift cards for our trip.

Anyhow....I realize with these cards you have to go in to pay, which is fine. But does anyone know of a reason that I wouldn't be able to take 2 or 3 in at a time and get 50.00 to 75.00 at each gas stop? I wonder if it would be a huge hassle.

I've used gift cards at the pump before. Multiples work fine, but you can only pump $25 at a time. It does take a little longer to fill up because after $25 you have to close the sale and then start a new sale, but it's not difficult at all.

It might just be easier to go in like you suggested and pay at the register though. I'm sure that would work too.
