You are very welcome! Yeah, the limit is not the greatest, but using it just as a gas card minimizes the inconvenience. You can always sign up for a general Discover and the Gas Rebate Discover, but I don't find the basic card to be as rewarding as some mileage cards.
NOTE: The Gas Rebate Card is NOT the same as the "Get More, Get Out There" promotion which runs thru the end of this month. I don't think that had a limit. Also, note that the limit doesn't start until you switch into the program.
As for the AAA Visa, I looked into that too. I believe the catch is that you have to spend equally (or more) on things other than gas to get the full 5% rebate on the gas. If you spend more on gas than other items you get less of a rebate.
