I'm not giving up my *wood or UA cards, but this is handy for gas (I was using my costco card previously).

According to the rep I had, the Discover card gas rebate starts on the next cycle and you get 5% on the first $1,500 spent on gas, no initial amount you have to spend before the rebate begins to accrue. After the initial fifteen hundred, the percent is reduced for the next level until you are at the standard 1% level. I think it was $5K spending or something like that. I'm hoping not to meet that as I'll only be using this card for gas purchases.
