Yes I agree, but I've purchased from the resale sites and a few have turned out to be duds, so it may take a couple weeks to get a card that actually works. If I need something from Petco, HD, etc in a hurry I just buy a gc from the grocery store.
With the 2x fuel points (assuming you use all 35 gallons), its an extra 7% savings. At 4x points its an extra 14%. So it also kinda depends on the deals you can get from the gc resellers.
