We believe everyone should be able to make financial decisions with
confidence. While we don't cover every company or financial product on
the market, we work hard to share a wide range of offers and objective
editorial perspectives.
So how do we make money? Our partners compensate us for advertisements that
appear on our site. This compensation helps us provide tools and services -
like free credit score access and monitoring. With the exception of
mortgage, home equity and other home-lending products or services, partner
compensation is one of several factors that may affect which products we
highlight and where they appear on our site. Other factors include your
credit profile, product availability and proprietary website methodologies.
However, these factors do not influence our editors' opinions or ratings, which are based on independent research and analysis. Our partners cannot
pay us to guarantee favorable reviews. Here is a list of our partners.

NerdWallet's ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula takes into account the type of card being reviewed (such as cash back, travel or balance transfer) and the card's rates, fees, rewards and other features.
Starting Jan. 19, 2025, the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi — along with its small-business counterpart, the CostcoAnywhere Visa® Business by Citi — will earn 5% cash back on gas purchases made at Costco. Previously, cardholders earned 4% cash back at Costco pumps.
Note that all other non-Costco gas purchases and EV charging purchases will continue to earn 4% cash back (with a combined yearly spending cap of $7,000 in the 5% and 4% gas categories), then 1% back.
Tweaks to physical card
Along with this update to rewards, the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi is ditching its previous gray look for a new black card design.

3% cash back at restaurants and on most travel purchases.
2% cash back at Costco and Costco.com.
1% cash back on all other purchases.
The annual fee for the Costco Anywhere Visa® Card by Citi remains $0, but you have to be a Costco member to get it. A baseline Gold Star membership costs $65 per year, while the higher-tier Executive membership is $130 per year.
