What would you do with an extra $250? Would you spend it on a new headset, a few extra hours of dual instruction, or perhaps a checkout in a new rental aircraft?

If you carry the AOPA FBO credit card from MBNA, you could get a 5-percent credit rebate -- up to $250 per calendar year -- on purchases at qualified fixed-base operators (FBOs) and Aircraft Electronics Association (AEA)-member businesses. That includes flight instruction and aircraft rental, fuel, charts, plotters, books, and other pilot necessities. You also get a 5-percent credit rebate with no limit on most purchases from Sporty's Pilot Shop, such as flying gear, charts, and AOPA merchandise.

How do you know if an FBO or AEA-member business is qualified? You can look it up online or in AOPA's Airport Directory Online. You'll also find participating FBOs listed in the print edition of AOPA's Airport Directory. You must be a paid AOPA member to receive the printed directory; call 800/USA-AOPA for more information.

It's easy to request a rebate. Submit your request online, or by mail or fax. The Sporty's discount is given at the time of purchase -- no need to submit a request.

To find out more information or apply for the AOPA FBO credit card, see AOPA Online or call 800/932-2775.
