Aw nerds! Looks like this page may be out of date. Head over to our Rewards Credit Cards page for updated info.

Editor’s Note: On March 31, 2016, Costco will stop partnering with American Express and TrueEarnings® Card from Costco and American Express will be discontinued. Citi, Costco's new partner, will send TrueEarnings® Card from Costco and American Express cardholders a new Visa card co-branded by Costco as a replacement.

American Express Costco Business pays 4% back at all gas stations (limit $6,000 in gas per year), 2% back at restaurants, 2% back on travel, and 1% back elsewhere. It's very mediocre when it comes to interest rates, though. If you are running a deficit, you'd be much better off going with a card with lower APRs. Rewards for this card are sent out annually in the form of an in store coupon that is redeemable for cash or goods.
