With the backdrop of the 2013 Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE2013), World Fuel Services announced today that eligibility for membership in the FlyBuys Rewards Program has been officially expanded to the Business and General Aviation Asia market.
Pilots, flight departments, crew members, schedulers and dispatchers from over 55 countries are now able to join the FlyBuys Rewards Program and begin earning points and redeeming FlyBuys for top rewards. In addition, FBO members of the World Fuel Services Network located within these eligible countries are able to offer FlyBuys Rewards Points as an incentive to members.
FlyBuys points are earned every time a FlyBuys member utilizes AVCARD or WFS Contract Fuel after registering on the FlyBuys website. Points accrue automatically and can be used to purchase merchandise and gift cards from local vendors in their region.
The list of countries with redemption options in the Asian marketplace includes China, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and several other nations in the region. As a special incentive to encourage new international members to sign up during ABACE, 1,000 bonus FlyBuys Rewards points will be given to new members who sign up during the show. Enrollment and participation is free.
“This is a perfect fit. The business and general aviation industry, by its nature, is not limited by borders. Our member FBOs and FlyBuys members in the U.S. and abroad will benefit equally from this expansion. We are excited to watch this program grow and mature in the international arena” said Michael Clementi, president of World Fuel Services' aviation segment.
Currently, the FlyBuys Rewards program has over 7,000 members. Members can earn FlyBuys Rewards at over 7,500 locations worldwide. Visit www.FlyBuysRewards.com to learn more about this program or come by our stand at ABACE, Shanghai Hawker Pacific Business Aviation Centre, Shanghai, China from April 16 to 18, 2013.
FlyBuys is the exclusive fuel and service purchase rewards program of World Fuel Services. The program is open to pilots, flight crew members, flight departments, and schedulers & dispatchers who wish to enroll. Points are earned from retail fuel purchases, contract fuel, AVCARD usage, and services purchased from BaseOps. These FlyBuys points can then be redeemed for merchandise, travel rewards, charitable donations, World Fuel Services invoice credits, and a variety of gift card choices. Bonus points can be earned for purchases which take place at participating Air Elite and World Fuel Services Network FBO locations.
