In October, oil companies Chevron Global Aviation and Phillips 66 Aviation announced new rewards programs for fuel buyers, which allow flight operations to give the rewards to any employee instead of limiting rewards to pilots. Rewards in the new programs are merchandise cards and in Chevron’s case gas cards as well.
Chevron’s FlyBuys reward points are available at any of the participating Chevron- and Texaco-branded FBOs in the U.S. Points accumulate at the rate of one point
per gallon, although Chevron Alliance Program charge-card users can earn additional points. Rewards are either Chevron or Texaco gas station gift cards or universal gift certificates available from GiftCertificates.com, which can be used at hundreds of retailers. FlyBuys won’t be affiliated with any fuel credit-card systems; participants simply show their FlyBuys card to the FBO to have points logged in their account. Users pay no fees to participate in FlyBuys, and typical redemption levels are 2,500 points for a $25 universal SuperCertificate from GiftCertificates.com or 2,000 points
for a $25 Chevron or Texaco gas-station gift card.
