Gas stations can be a convenient place to get cash while on the go. Many (but not all) gas stations in the U.S. offer cash back, though some have minimum purchase requirements and low cash-back maximums. Some also have cash-back fees and restrictions on accepted cards. Below, we provide the list of gas stations that give cash back, including information about associated fees and restrictions. We also list the gas stations that don’t offer cash back.

What We Recommend

For the most cash back you can get at a gas station, Hy-Vee will be your best bet, with a maximum of $60 per transaction and no associated fees. Similarly, Weis Markets sets the maximum at $50.

If you are trying to get cash back at a gas station and you want to pay with a check, Shell gas stations are the only locations that offer this (though it is not guaranteed at all locations).
