Whether you’re filling up a gas tank or plugging in your EV, transportation costs have been climbing faster than your teenager’s screen time.
SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union gets it. That’s why they’ve rolled out a limited-time credit card promotion that actually puts money back where it belongs—in your wallet. Through November 10, eligible cardholders can score enhanced rewards on gas and EV charging purchases. We’re talking 5% cash back or 5x points, depending on which card you’re rocking.
Why Now?
This isn’t just SchoolsFirst FCU throwing darts at a board of potential promotions. They’ve been watching the numbers, and here’s what caught their attention: Members are spending 15% more on gas compared to last year. That’s three times faster than the 5% bump in other everyday purchases. Translation? Gas costs are outpacing pretty much everything else in your budget.
Even more telling: roughly 77,000 Members swipe their SchoolsFirst FCU credit card for gas every single month. That’s 28% of active cardholders making fuel a regular part of their credit card routine.
How It Works
Here’s the best part—there’s zero hoops to jump through. If you’re already carrying an eligible SchoolsFirst FCU credit card, you’re automatically enrolled. No registration forms, no secret codes, no sacrifice to the credit card gods required. Just use your card for gas or EV charging purchases between now and November 10, and watch those enhanced rewards roll in.

More Than Just a Promo
“Our Members continue to face rising everyday expenses, and transportation costs remain an important part of household budgets,” explained Amy Hsu, Senior Vice President of Payments & Fraud. “We’re seeing Members spend more on gas than they did a year ago. This promotion is one way we’re helping put a little money back in their pockets on purchases they’re already making.”
It’s worth noting that this promotion fits into SchoolsFirst FCU’s bigger picture approach: offering credit cards that don’t require a finance degree to understand. Competitive rates, rewards on the stuff you actually buy, and straightforward terms make these cards a solid alternative to the credit card offers clogging up your mailbox.
Bottom line? If you’re going to spend money on gas or charging anyway—and unless you’ve perfected teleportation, you probably are—you might as well get something back for it.
