My Plans For This Quarter

Gas is probably my favorite quarter because we drive quite a bit and because I have Speedway locations all around me, which has a great rewards program of their own. Some 7-11 locations are set up as gas stations too which is great if you love their Slurpee's and nachos like I do.

This quarter is a bit of feast or famine for people. Either it is the easiest quarter of the year or it is near impossible to max out. Hopefully it works well for you. Paying attention when you travel could be a game changer and open things up for many.
