Phillips 66 Credit Card

A couple months ago I bought gas at a nearby Phillips 66 station. While

waiting for my tank to fill, I noticed and advertisement for their credit card

which offered 3% rebates on Phillips gas purchases, and 1% rebates on all other

purchase, plus a $20 rebate after my first purchase. Given the cost of gas

these days I figured that would help offset the high prices so I went in to the

store and got an application. My card came within a couple weeks and my wife

and I started using it for gas purchases only, as it had a 21%APR so I wanted

to make sure we could pay it off every month. My first statement came and

there were no rebates. I waited until the 2nd statement and when I saw there

were no rebates on that one too, I called. I explained the situation to the

woman on the phone and after a brief period on hold, she came back and asked me

if I could send her the advertisement I saw (???). I said I could not as it

was attached to the pump. After another few minutes on hold, she came back and

said, get this, 'That offer was only made to existing customers who converted

their Phillips card to the new Phillips/Conoco/76 card!!! I'm sure that

somewhere in the fine print of the application that was mentioned but I can

assure you it was not made clear in the ad I saw mounted on the pump and I

think that is a very cheesey thing to do. I expressed my displeasure to the

woman on the phone but of course she could do nothing. I got my final

statement yesterday and you can bet I'm returning it w/ my check, a cut up

card, and a nasty letter. I will NEVER shop at a Phillips/Conoco/Whatever

store again!
