# Rewarding Gas Credit Cards The Exxon Mobil Smart Card+ Offers 42-Cents Off Per Gallon By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-02-04 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exxon-mobil-smart-card References: [csnews](https://www.csnews.com/exxonmobil-enhances-savings-smart-card-members) & [corporate.exxonmobil](https://corporate.exxonmobil.com)  The Exxon Mobil Smart Card+ is being launched by the brand through a partnership with [Citi Bank](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citi) that will offer consumers with a way to enjoy enhanced savings at the pump as well as [cash-back for purchases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rakuten-american-express-card). The card will get new cardholders up to 42-cents off for every gallon of gas they purchase for the first two months along with 5% cash-back for in-store purchases and car washes for the first $1,200 they spend. The new card will be replacing the existing ExxonMobile Smart Card with current cardholders being automatically upgraded to start enjoying savings immediately. The Exxon Mobil Smart Card+ offers instant savings, which will likely help it appeal to consumers seeking out a way to immediately enjoy perks instead of having to wait. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 11% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gas Credit Card Rewards:** The Exxon Mobil Smart Card+ and its cash-back and gas rewards present an opportunity for other credit card companies to compete with similar rewards programs. - **Instant Savings:** The Exxon Mobil Smart Card+ appeals to consumers looking for immediate rewards.
