A card is a contract. These are the questions that reveal the real terms before you commit funds.
Ask whether the rate is fixed or dynamic, and if fixed, for how long it is guaranteed and what resets at renewal.
Request the full rate by aircraft class so you can compare like for like rather than a single headline number.
Confirm whether availability is guaranteed, the call out times required, and how peak days and blackout dates are treated.
Ask what happens, in writing, if a guaranteed aircraft cannot be provided.
Clarify daily minimum flight times, repositioning charges, fuel treatment, taxes, winter charges such as de icing, and catering.
Establish exactly what counts against your hours or balance and what is billed separately.
Ask how deposits are held, whether funds or hours expire, and how refunds and rollovers work.
Find out what protects you if the programme changes its terms or stops trading.
Ask who actually operates the flights, what safety audits and operating certificates apply, and how aircraft are sourced.
Understanding the operator behind the card matters as much as the commercial terms.
