only 1 location out of 6 in my area take dc. So they are unicorns. I try and only do 3-4 MO per week from it to keep it going low and slow.

Found a store with balloons today outside my usual area. Store would only sell me 4 cards. 2x gas posted nicely!
I can eek out $13-15 dollars in gas savings for every fill up using 10 rewards points. A net positive of $7 per vgc plus points from the purchase. Will ride this gravy train as long as I can.
