AOPA credit card to include Cash Back Rewards for flight training

AOPA upped the cardholder benefits to include two percent Cash Back on every dollar spent at flight schools.

Cardholders can also receive four percent Cash Back for select AOPA purchases; three percent Cash Back for all purchases at select AOPA partners including Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., Aero-Space Reports, Jeppesen, Sirius XM Aviation, PilotWorkshops, and Sporty’s Pilot Shop; two percent Cash Back for fixed-based operator (FBO) purchases, aviation and auto fuel costs, ride sharing, and taxi costs; and 1 percent Cash Back for all other purchases. (Certain points and purchases restrictions apply, see full Rewards Terms and Conditions at AOPA.org/creditcard.) Cash Back is applied as a statement credit.

“We believe AOPA and Commerce Bank have the best available credit card rewards program for pilots, and we will continue to look for ways we can improve, bring down the cost of flying, and make aviation more accessible to everyone,” said AOPA Senior Vice President of Marketing Jiri Marousek.

Cardholder purchases also support AOPA’s industry-leading initiatives including the Air Safety Institute, advocacy, and various You Can Fly programs designed to reduce costs and barriers to flying.

The card is available through the AOPA website. The AOPA credit card is accepted anywhere Mastercard is accepted.

Rewards points can be redeemed for Cash Back or other items provided through AOPA Pilot Rewards. A Cash Back redemption is applied as a statement credit. The statement credit will reduce your balance, but you are still required to make at least your minimum payment. A minimum of 2,500 points is needed to redeem for Cash Back. Values for non-cash back redemption items such as merchandise, gift cards, and travel may vary.
