How to Save More on Gas: Smart Ways Langley Members Can Keep More Money in Their Wallet

If you've noticed it costs more to fill up your tank lately, you're not alone.

Gas prices continue to fluctuate, and even small increases can put added pressure on household budgets—especially for commuters, families, and anyone who relies on their vehicle every day. AAA reports the national average reached $4.10 per gallon as of July 29, up about three cents from a week earlier and more than 25 cents higher than the beginning of July. Most states are now averaging at least $4 a gallon.

At Langley, we understand these rising costs can make everyday life more challenging. That's why we're committed to helping members find practical ways to save. Whether you're commuting to work, running errands, or planning your next road trip, there are several ways Langley can help you keep more money in your wallet every time you hit the road.

Earn Cash Back Every Time You Fill Up

One of the easiest ways to offset the cost of rising gas prices is by earning cash back on purchases you're already making.

Langley's credit cards offer rewards designed to help members save at the pump:

1. Signature Cashback Visa® earns 3% unlimited cash back on gas and EV charging purchases. For added savings, Signature Cashback Visa® cardholders can also select Gas & EV Charging as their monthly Bonus Category to earn 5% cash back (up to $100/month)
2. Platinum Quint Visa® earns 1% unlimited cash back on gas and EV charging, and other essential categories where prices have been on the rise, like Groceries, Wholesale Clubs, and Drugstores.

See Your Savings in Action

If you spend $250 per month on gas:

1. With the Signature Cashback Visa®, you could earn up to $12.50 in cash back every month—or about $150 over the course of a year.

Those rewards can help offset future fill-ups or simply put a little extra money back into your budget.
