Jet fuel card

[Topper]

My partner just purchased a jet and will likely fly 75-100 hours per year in it. Locations will vary. I need to find a fuel card to keep in the plane. Not the kind of volume that will get anyone excited, but anything I can do to save a buck here or there helps. Also like anything that helps the accounting department.

Let me know if there is a better place to ask the question.

Thanks,


Jim

World Fuel is another one. Likely you'll have a couple of different cards in the airplane - not all FBOs take every contract fuel card.

Visa is probably the one card that everyone will take. I used a jet fuel card back when I had my Citation, sometimes it created a pretty healthy savings. Some FBO's will give you the same deal to avoid dealing with the card companies. Several times I asked and they were more than willing to get paid right now vs 30-60 days from the jet card company.
One thing to do is always call ahead, tell them how many gallons you will be needing and ask for a discount, especially if there is another FBO on the field! Pumping 2-400 gallons can result in a discount vs 25 gallons in my 182.

Even 100 in the 310 always brought a nice discount just for the asking, "What's your price on 100 gallons?"
