    I don't understand why people are still using credit cards. Do they not realize the money they're throwing away?
    2% cash back is $10 on a $500 fuel up. With a good fuel card you're saving $50-80 on every fill up
    Blows my mind

    / depends where you fuel and what is available in the area you run. Add that to frequent flyer points that save quite a bit on every purchase.


    Different business models operate under different constraints.

    Screenshot_20211212-101626_Email.jpg Screenshot_20211212-101626_Email.jpg @Wespipes ,these were 2 of my fillups this past week using the Mudflap app.I have a capital one card with 2% back that I pay with. I had a Comdata card and would rather be poked in the eye with a stick than fool with a fuel card company again.

    Here's the same area. 8 cents cheaper. 2% cash back takes 6 cents off. Mudflap with a good cash back card might be better eventually or even right now at certain places. However there's just not enough places to fuel up with mudflap YET. But hey if it works for you, all the more power to you. But I agree comdata does suck Screenshot_20211212-111410_NASTC.jpg

    I agree with not enough locations but they are adding more pretty regularly.

    I barely burn $500 worth of fuel a week,

    Easier to have it delivered to the yard once a week then messing around with who takes what fuel card

    Use Mudflap with a cashback card as others have suggested but get a fuel card as well. Don't bother with NASTCC with their ######## fees either, there are other options out there.
     
    Zero Fox and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this.

    I fell for NASTC once upon a time as well. Never again. They do have a great consortium program though.

    What is good about their consortium over others? I'm using OOIDAs atm and they are raising the prices so I might shop around a bit.
