They have secured first place in the “Baffle them with BS” contest. The old program was straight forward percentages of purchase; now they obfuscate the situation with cents per gallon. Plug in some numbers and see that they are limiting the fuel purchase rebate to fewer than 3% at today’s prices whereas their old rate was 5%.

I still get rattled when they use " Beyond Petroleum" as a spin to their name.... For gosh sakes just use the real name of " British Petreleum ". I am sure the did market studies and the majority of people reacted negatively to a foreign company.......
Anyone else notice BP's new commercials trying to get visitors back to the Gulf Coast after the spill ? They use subliminal messaging by posting their name on a solid color screen for the last 8 seconds of the commercial..... Sheeples buy into that stuff..... YMMV.

Let’s see I get 1-2% on my American Express towards gas, BP wont give you squat unless you buy Amoco or BP (although Arco, a BP company wont except the card) but 3% is well... 3%. I have not seen the fine print but it does say “5% on fuel purchases” so I am interested in the technicality that makes it less than 3%.. were did you get the 3% from?
I have a application I was about to send off so this is great timing.

I have been getting 5% using a BP Visa card at BP FBOs; now they are changing to limit rebate to 15 cents per gallon; I have been getting 25 cents plus on $5 100LL for at least a year.

They still advertise:
With your BP Visa Card, you can: - Earn 5% rebates on all BP location purchases
- Earn 2% rebates on all eligible travel and dining purchases
- Earn 1% rebates on all other eligible purchases
Nice marketing and poor follow-through!

You know you guys should think yourselves very lucky, there you are moaning about getting 3 or 5% discount on fuel (at) $5 a gallon when the rest of the world has to pay nearly 3 times your costs.
Fuel in the UK is around £2.1 per litre or £7.938 per US Gallon($12.56) we get no discounts what so ever, we have landing fees that can range between $15 an $45 (that’s for every landing you do) and you get charged typically $24 for an instrument approach.
One local airport to me charges you a landing fee if you do a ” touch and go” of $36 so just count yourself very lucky with what you have and best of luck with your imminent user fees.
Wishing we had you prices and facilities!!

Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I forget that I live in the best place in the world….that is just my opinion, I may be bias.
As I sit here this morning, looking out the window at a beautiful day, feeling sorry for myself because as of 1 Feb my medical has expired and I cannot fly without a baby sitter on board…..I am reminded of how great it really is to live here in Utah and the USA. It is still hard for me to believe that I built an airplane in my garage and that me and the family can hop in it and go whenever we want. My daughter is going to a dance competition in a couple of weeks, and she was whining that she had to go in the car….the whole 4 hours instead of the plane in 1. How we take for granted what we do have.
I am hoping the FAA will issue my medical here soon and I will have all my freedom back.

At first I thought you were writing from the PRC but I see it is Europe. The reason the fuel prices there are so high is that the government wants them that way (very high taxes). Here, our government wants to make ours higher by both taxation and prevention of any exploration or drilling. We loan money that we print to other countries so that they can drill for their resources. We, the USA, haven’t built a major petro project for at least 50 years; the latest attempt was the cancellation of Canadian USA pipeline. If we don’t change our politicians, we will find ourselves like the nations of Europe. After all Bin Laden’s secret plan was to kill us with bureaucracy and now we have Homeland Security, TSA, etc.

Achem......I didn't know we were going political here. Prudhoe Bay was
only 40 years ago and was kinda major. Bakken oil fields are right now
and will be bigger than Prudhoe. Exploration has almost zero impact on
pricing. World demand, speculation etc have far more effect, with only a
countries tax structure impacting the world wide commodity price. Oil is
sold based on its quality, minus transportation and any other costs
getting it to the end buyer. At least with the RV-10 you can control
consumption for most phases after takeoff with wide flexibility.

government wants them that way (very high taxes). Here, our government
wants to make ours higher by both taxation and prevention of any
exploration or drilling. We loan money that we print to other
countries so that they can drill for their resources. We, the USA,
haven’t built a major petro project for at least 50 years; the latest
attempt was the cancellation of Canadian USA pipeline. If we don’t
change our politicians, we will find ourselves like the nations of
Europe. After all Bin Laden’s secret plan was to kill us with
bureaucracy and now we have Homeland Security, TSA, etc.

You know you guys should think yourselves very lucky, there you are
moaning about getting 3 or 5% discount on fuel (at) $5 a gallon when the
rest of the world has to pay nearly 3 times your costs.
Fuel in the UK is around Ł2.1 per litre or Ł7.938 per US
Gallon($12.56) we get no discounts what so ever, we have landing fees
that can range between $15 an $45 (that’s for every landing you do)
and you get charged typically $24 for an instrument approach.
One local airport to me charges you a landing fee if you do a ” touch
and go” of $36 so just count yourself very lucky with what you have
and best of luck with your imminent user fees.
Wishing we had you prices and facilities!!

They still advertise:
**With your BP Visa Card, you can: **
* Earn**5%****rebates on all BP location purchases
* Earn**2%****rebates on all eligible travel and dining purchases
* Earn**1%****rebates on all other eligible purchases
Nice marketing and poor follow-through!

I have been getting 5% using a BP Visa card at BP FBOs; now they are
changing to limit rebate to 15 cents per gallon; I have been getting
25 cents plus on $5 100LL for at least a year.

Let’s see I get 1-2% on my American Express towards gas, BP wont give
you squat unless you buy Amoco or BP (although Arco, a BP company wont
except the card) but 3% is well... 3%. I have not seen the fine print
but it does say “5% on fuel purchases” so I am interested in the
technicality that makes it less than 3%.. were did you get the 3% from?
I have a application I was about to send off so this is great timing.

They have secured first place in the “Baffle them with BS” contest.
The old program was straight forward percentages of purchase; now they
obfuscate the situation with cents per gallon. Plug in some numbers
and see that they are limiting the fuel purchase rebate to fewer than
3% at today’s prices whereas their old rate was 5%.
