  • No foreign transaction fee

Why it earns its spot

  • +5x gas is the top earn rate in the country
  • +3x groceries that includes superstores is almost unheard of
  • +All for no annual fee

Where it costs you

  • Points are worth about 0.85 cents, mostly gift cards and travel
  • No clean cash-out kneecaps the headline rates
  • PenFed underwriting is conservative

The Compound Verdict

On paper this is the best gas and grocery card in America, and the Walmart and Target inclusion is genuinely unique. The catch is the redemption side: at 0.85 cents per point your 5x is really about 4.25%, still excellent, just read the fine print before anchoring on the multipliers.
