Wings that make members pay for fuel for corporate vehicles/planes

[arajca]

There are subtle semantics of "credit" card vs "bank" card vs. "fuel" card.    In Ky Wing "Credit" Cards are a NO NO per NHQ regs.

Per CAPR 173-1, CREDIT cards are permitted. DEBIT cards are not.

9. Debit Cards. Debit cards must not be used.

10. Credit Cards. Credit card use is permitted for units. In order to use credit cards, each unit will establish, in writing, a credit card usage and approval policy. This policy must be forwarded to the wing director of finance. Credit card accounts will be issued in the name of the CAP unit. Credit cards must be used for authorized purchases only. Credit cards will not be used for cash advances. Personal expenditures are not authorized including personal proficiency flying. Lost or stolen credit cards must be reported to the credit card issuer and the region/wing commander immediately. Aggregate balances must not exceed the credit limit. All usage must be documented with receipts. All losses incurred from the use of these credit cards will be the responsibility of the unit.

At the wing level, both are permitted:

10. Debit Cards. Debit cards will not be used for cash advances. Debit cards may be used for payments provided a written usage and approval policy is established. Debit cards will not be permitted for use by any unit below wing level.

11. Credit Cards. Credit card use is permitted for regions/wings. In order to use credit cards, each region/wing will establish, in writing, a credit card usage and approval policy. Credit card accounts will be issued in the name of the CAP subordinate unit. Credit cards must be used for authorized purchases only. Credit cards will not be used for cash advances. Personal expenditures are not authorized including personal proficiency flying. Lost or stolen credit cards must be reported to the credit card issuer and the region/wing commander immediately. Aggregate balances must not exceed the credit limit. All usage must be documented with receipts. All losses incurred from the use of these credit cards will be the responsibility of the region/wing.

KYWG may have a WING policy against them, but National allows them.

Adjusted my post to make more sense.

We do not allow for payment for fuel for aircraft by any means other than the Multi-serve card.  No wing provided method of payment is provided for Corporate owned vehicles.

^ Wing should not provide the Squadrons a Credit Card, it is up to the Squadrons finance Committee to get one on their own, and send the usage policy to the Wing Finance Officer.

Arkansas wing has a fuelman card assigned to each vehicle and a fuel card in each plane.  All official business is covered (even taking vans to training)

  Our Wing uses the Wing Banking System (is this not used CAP-wide yet?).  When gassing up a van, one of us has to use our personal credit card and submit the reciepts later in order to be re-imbursed.  The finance comittee has to sign the sheet as well, and the check usually arrives in about two weeks time.     

  (Despite some shortcomings, I generally do like the Wing Banking system in how it is one more way to keep Squadrons honest)
