Fuel cards

[DrivingZiggy]

I have had this fuel card through OOIDA for quite a few years now. It was free. No class required. Sure, they wanted the $50 to set it up, but I played hard ball and told them that if they didn't eat the "set up fee" that I didn't want the card. They escalated to a manager and ate the charge.

At first, I had to have it linked to a credit card because I was new to their system. After a few months, they linked it to my business checking account. The only problem I've had with that is that when times were tough my balance got lower than what I owed for the fuel purchase, so they shut off the card and I had to get it re-started.

There is no monthly charge on my card. If you fuel at their list of locations, there is no charge and usually a $.02 discount. They now give $.06 discount at Pilot/Flying J. Other places, $1 for the transaction and $.50 if you get a cash advance.
