AOPA, MBNA make saving on flying expenses even easier
Request your 5% FBO rebate online
It is now easier than ever for AOPA credit cardholders to claim their 5% FBO rebates. AOPA and MBNA America Bank, N.A., have developed an online request form, allowing cardholders to request their credit rebates via the Internet.
"This new benefit greatly enhances the FBO Rebate Program that includes over 4,500 qualified FBOs around the country," said Karen Gebhart, AOPA senior vice president. "Now our cardholding AOPA members can easily request their rebate using this new online feature. We developed this program to help in AOPA's mission to keep flying affordable. Since the program's inception, MBNA has returned over $10 million in rebates to our members."
Cardholders can now log on at www.bankofamerica.com and only need to follow a few simple steps. The FBO Rebate Program, which began in 1997, offers a 5% credit rebate up to $250 on purchases at qualified FBOs.
AOPA cardholders must register for online account access at www.bankofamerica.com. When logged into their online credit card account, they will find a link to the rebate request form in three places: the Statements page, the Account Services page, and the Account Snapshot page. Only three simple steps are required to submit their request for a credit rebate on qualified FBO purchases.
Cardholders are also eligible to receive an immediate 5% discount on purchases from Sporty's Pilot Shop when they use their AOPA credit card. For more information about the rates, fees, costs, and benefits associated with the use of the AOPA credit card program, or to apply online, go to www.aopa.org/info/cconline/ or call 1-800-932-2775.
Revenue generated from members' use of the AOPA credit card and participation in other AOPA Certified programs helps support programs such as AOPA's efforts to save Meigs Field, the Airport Watch program, GAservingAmerica.org, and Project Pilot. It has also allowed the association to hold the annual membership dues at $39 for the past 13 years.
With nearly 400,000 members the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association is the world's largest civil aviation organization, working to protect the interests of general aviation. Some two thirds of all U.S. pilots are members of AOPA.
