Verizon’s New Credit Card Pays 4% Back on Groceries and Gas — With No Annual Fee
If your family budget takes the biggest hits at the grocery store and the gas pump, Verizon just launched a credit card designed with you in mind — and it costs nothing to carry.
What’s the Deal?
The new Verizon Credit Card, issued through Synchrony Bank, earns 4% back on groceries and gas stations and 3% back on dining — all with no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. You’ll earn rewards in the form of VerizonDollars, which can be applied toward your Verizon wireless bill or other eligible Verizon purchases.
Right now there’s also a $150 signup bonus, and for those who apply by June 25th, there’s a potential bonus of up to $1,000 — making the timing on this one unusually important.
Why This Is Notable
A no-annual-fee card with 4% back on groceries and gas is genuinely competitive. For a household that spends $600/month at the grocery store and $200/month filling up the tank, you’re looking at roughly $480 in VerizonDollars annually just from those two categories — before dining rewards stack on top. For Southern families who drive more and shop big-box grocery chains weekly, those numbers add up fast.
The no foreign transaction fee is a nice touch for summer travelers, even if it’s not the headline feature here.
Who Is This Best For?
This card makes the most sense if you’re already a Verizon customer. The rewards come back as VerizonDollars, which means the value is essentially locked into your Verizon account. If you pay $150–$200/month for a family wireless plan, having a stream of rewards automatically offsetting that bill is genuinely useful.
It’s also a strong fit for:
- Families with multiple drivers racking up gas spend each week
- Households doing weekly grocery runs at major chains (most traditional supermarkets qualify)
- Anyone who doesn’t currently carry a dedicated grocery or gas rewards card
Quick Comparison
Several cards offer strong grocery rewards, but many carry annual fees or cap the bonus category at lower spend thresholds. The Verizon card’s advantage is the no-annual-fee + 4% combo, though the caveat is that rewards are tied to Verizon’s ecosystem rather than flexible cash back or points. If you’re not a Verizon subscriber, a general-purpose cash back card may give you more flexibility.
Caveats to Know
- VerizonDollars, not cash. Rewards apply to Verizon services — if you ever switch carriers, that value disappears.
- Synchrony Bank. Worth knowing if you’re managing your credit mix carefully, as Synchrony is a store-card specialist.
- The big bonus deadline is June 25th. If you’re on the fence, that date should accelerate your decision. The up-to-$1,000 potential bonus is not a guaranteed amount — read the full terms to understand what qualifies.
- $150 baseline signup bonus is solid for a no-fee card but confirm current offer terms at application, as promotional details can change.

Head to the Verizon card page via Doctor of Credit for the full breakdown on terms, bonus structure, and eligibility details before you apply. The June 25th deadline for the elevated bonus is close — if the grocery and gas rewards fit your spending, this one’s worth a serious look this week.
