The United Card is a fuel card for United Petroleum, which is a 100% Australian owned petrol company and gives businesses the flexibility to buy premium quality fuels Australia-wide. It offers a quick and easy way to record fuel expenses, invoices are GST compliant, and have online tools for common enquiries. It is for businesses who want more convenience when managing fuel expenses, whether it be a big business or a sole trader. As long as you use more than 1,000L of fuel per month and typically use United Petroleum, this could be the ideal card for you with a simple monthly card fee of $2.20 (exc GST). It can be used for fuel, or fuel and snacks and you can set different restriction levels on each card.
The United Card offers businesses the flexibility to buy premium quality fuels Australia-wide. AANT members can save 8c/l for the first 2 months (and 6c/l thereafter). Otherwise, for non-AANT members any ongoing fuel discounts will be based on your business’s petrol use. For example, if your business uses 5,000-10,000L per month, you’ll receive 3c/l off regular petrol, and 5c/l off premium petrol. The maximum ongoing discount you can receive is 7c/l off pump price for businesses who use a significant amount of fuel per month. The discount will be based on your fuel purchases within the first 5 months, and can be reviewed by your account manager on an ongoing basis. If you use less than 1,000L of fuel per month, there is no fuel discount.
There is also a United discount card for AFL community clubs, including Brisbane Lions, Richmond, Collingwood or Horton. With this card, you can save an ongoing 4c/l discount on fuel. There is also a Community Card when you can earn a 2c/l discount, then donate the other 2c to the community club.
While there are no transaction fees, if your business uses above 10,000L of fuel per month, you can choose to pay a $0.45c transaction fee in lieu of paying a card fee. This could be an attractive offer for businesses who have a lot of drivers and require a large number of United Cards.
