What are the best fuel cards to carry for a corporate operation, who has the best service, deals, etc. Any advice would be of great use.
 
Fuel Cards

The company I used to fly for used Colt and Best most of the time. The discounts were not bad and we usually had no problems in using the cards.
 
We use mostly the Multiservice backed up with the Avfuel (to get some US treasury Bonds).

For the best deal, we have contract fuel with Philips 66 in various locations, but most of them are on the eastern part of the country or Texas.
 
Multiservice, Avcard and Corporate Am Ex. Someone will take one of them.

I agree with the Captain, we probably carry a dozen cards, but it's MultiService and AVCard that we use...

AvCard

We carry AvCard, and it is almost always accepted, especially now that AvCard has made some systems upgrades making their cards compatible with standard credit card machines. On the rare occasions AvCard isn't accepted, we have a MultiService card as a back-up.

Most places will post which cards offer discounts ... usually cash or the branded card (Air BP, Phillips, etc.). I also always check fuel prices before departure (Airnav works great for this) ... you never know where you'll get a good deal! For example, with a volume discount, we bought fuel this week in Teterboro for slightly less than we get it at home!

Tailwinds, y'all ...

Colt, Uvair, Best, Avcard, BP, Texaco, etc.

I got rid of Multiserve, their two week billing cycle was driving me and accounting crazy. I believe you can now change that, though.

I always try to pay for fuel with the company Amex though, unless its cheaper to use one of the others. It's accepted about 95% of the time. Why use the Amex? Well, guess who gets the Membership rewards points? That's right 350,000 frequent flier miles is a nice benefit, paid for my honeymoon last year!
