Any fee free MC to replace the Shell MC?
 
With the Shell MasterCard going away, does anyone know of another MasterCard, fee free with some type of rewards (either $ or miles). I already have AMEX, Discover & Visa (with rewards). Just looking for a good replacement for MasterCard.

Citi has a free MC that earns 1% cash back, paid in $100 chunks. (IOW, they won't pay you until you get $100 in earnings, which of course requires you to spend $10k.) The cap is $300 worth of cash back per year.

That's the only one I know of off the top of my head. There are probably some other cards that earn points towards their own rewards.

MBNA has a few reward-earning cards that can be had as MCs, and MBNA is recognized as particularly good in customer service, and they still have a lower foreign currency surcharge. The Amtrak Guest Rewards card is one of theirs, although from what I understand the desirability of this card was recently reduced because of a change in amount that can be converted to airline miles per year.

The Amoco Visa earns you 2% in non-Amoco purchases and 3% in Amoco purchases. There are three catches:

1) Purchases at gas stations other than BP/Amoco earn you nothing.

2) Rebates are paid in $20 increments via a BP/Amoco cash card.

3) I think they also have something like an $80 a year rebate limit.
