Gas rebate creditcards or gas cashback cards became popular in the United States in the wake of the 2000s energy crisis and the rising price of gasoline . Benefits The appeal of a gas rebate credit card is that cardholders obtain a sure percent of the sum they consume on gasoline each month in the form of a rebate marketing rebate check at the end of the year. It works similarly to a cashback discount recognition card with the exception that the gasoline discount is frequently applied each month, rather than each year, which makes the savings easier to view for most consumers. ref http www.nytimes.com 2005 12 31 business yourmoney 31money.html?pagewanted all CreditCards With Rewards Are Worth a Look ref Companies provide an average of 3 APR on new gas rebate creditcards.

Image WSGyounger.jpg thumb right center W.S. Gilbert in about 1870 center No Cards is a musical piece in one act for four characters, written by W. S. Gilbert , with music composed and arranged by Thomas German Reed . It was first produced at the Royal Gallery of Illustration , Lower Regent Street, London, under the management of German Reed, opening on 29 March 1869 and closing on 21 November 1869. The work is a domestic farce of mistaken identities and inept disguises, as two men desperately compete to marry a wealthy young lady. One is young and poor, and the other is a rich miser. Each disguises himself as her guardian. No Cards was the first of Gilbert s six pieces for the Gallery of Illustration. It was also Gilbert s first libretto with prose dialogue and the first stage work for which he wrote lyrics to be set to music, rather than lyrics to pre existing music. No Cards was played on a double bill with Arthur Sullivan and F. C. Burnand s Cox and Box , although Gilbert and Sullivan did not meet until later that year. After a successful 139 performances, the bill toured the British provinces. ref name Kidd Kidd, Patrick. http entertainment.timesonline.co.uk tol arts and entertainment music article6916651.ece Revival of Gilbert s No Cards dates from a time before Sullivan , The Times ...
