Multiplying reward points gives FlyBuys rewards program an edge

With multiplying bonus points, World Fuel Services' FlyBuys Rewards Program is the loyal program that allows customers to accumulate points and earn rewards rapidly. Unlike other business and general aviation loyalty programs that are designed to only benefit pilots, FlyBuys Rewards offers rewards to schedulers, dispatchers and entire flight departments in addition to individual pilots.

Presently, member acceptance is available in over 58 countries where members are able to join the FlyBuys Rewards Program and begin earning points and redeeming FlyBuys for top rewards. Members link their AVCARD or World Fuel Services/Alliance Contract Fuel Account and points accrue automatically and can be used to purchase merchandise and gift cards from local vendors in their region. Additionally, participating FBO members of the World Fuel Services network and merchants located within the eligible countries are able to offer bonus FlyBuys Rewards Points at their discretion as fuel uplift incentives and promotions to reward customer loyalty. Currently, members can earn FlyBuys Rewards at over 7,500 locations worldwide.

Multiplying rewards make a big benefit difference - for example, linked AVCARD purchases multiply FlyBuys Rewards two times faster at an FBO within the World Fuel Services network and four times faster at Air Elite diamond service FBO locations when compared to out-of-network purchases. In addition Avcard transactions that earn FlyBuys Rewards include aircraft maintenance, charters and pilot training in additions to fuel and other ancillary services.

Customers - especially flight departments - are amazed with the speed and ease at which their rewards have been accumulating. “We love the FlyBuys program and how quickly and easily we are able to accumulate points on all of our fuel purchases” says Katie Scott, director of charter sales at LR Services, Inc. “We distribute the points to our schedulers who do the fuel orders and have used the points for both airline gift cards and Super Certificates on Giftcertificates.com. Our eyes always light up a little when we see that a location we need to put on fuel at has World Fuel available. Even better when it's the best price!”

NBAA 2013 is the forum that will be used for a special promotion highlighting the fact that FlyBuys Rewards is the program that multiplies points faster than any other rewards program. All new members that sign up at NBAA will receive a gift that symbolizes fast growth and 1,000 bonus FlyBuys Rewards points as well as have an opportunity to win a complete sound system with Bose music system, iPad and iTunes gift card which is sure to be pleasing to the winner's ears.
