Depends on how the transaction is encoded. If its a fuel purchase it *should* count towards the higher percentage, but if encoded as a misc purchase it drops down to a 1% rebate. Purchases at places such as Fred Meyers or Safeway for fuel are only 1%.

I think you have a running total at the bottom of each monthly statement that shows your rebate. One should be able to determine if it works definitively a month later.
