Best credit card to use at Marathon.
Gas
Marathon-branded stations cover about 7,000 U.S. locations primarily across the Midwest and Southeast. Pumps code cleanly as gas on every card we track. The MakeItCount Rewards program offers cents-per-gallon savings that stack with whatever card you swipe; absolute cashback usually wins with a 4-5% general gas card rather than a Marathon-only co-brand.
