Are you targeted for this big Amex offer on gas?
Tl;dr: Check your Amex offers for 5x bonus points on gas.
Gas is annoyingly expensive, especially out here in California, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to eke out little savings. I generally use my IHG Premier card, which gets 5x IHG points per dollar on gas, and usually offers discount at various stations (currently, I get 2% back at Chevron stations).

Your mileage may vary, because not every Amex cardmember will be target for every offer on every card.

To see if you’re eligible for this offer, log into the Amex app or website and check the “offers” tab. It may make your pain at the pump slightly less painful.
