The PenFed Visa Platinum Gas / Cash Rewards Card is a credit card that offers cardholders a little something more. Not all credit cards out there on the market reward cardholders for using their cards; however, this card, brought to you by the Pentagon Federal Credit Union is designed to reward you.

This card comes with a free rewards program that cardholders are automatically included in. When you use your card, you are subject to receive cash back when you use your card on supermarket purchases and to pay for gasoline. In addition, you can receive cash back on other purchases you make using your card as well. There is no minimum or maximum limit to the cash back you can receive based on your purchases. Users are credited their cash backs each month as well so they do not have to wait. For individuals looking to receive money back on all the purchases they make will find this card to be ideal.

Besides the obvious reward of cash back, the card also has many other benefits that cardholders will appreciate. The card has a minimum number of fees unlike many other credit cards on the market. With most credit cards there is a long list of fees, some hidden, that are difficult to keep track of. With this card, Users do not have to pay an annual fee and depending on how far you are over-the-limit of your credit card, you may not be subject to any fees. If you make a late payment, you are not slapped with a standard large fee either. Not many credit card companies will have options open when calculating your late fee rather than sticking to the expensive, set-in-stone fee.

Cardholders can also appreciate the low introductory rate on balance transfers that lasts 24 months. If you compare this low, long introductory rate to other cards on the market, you will discover that this is a rarity in the credit card market.
