    I think its the only way to go.

    Ive got a BP card, only because they are the only one state wide he in tassie. The problem with them is there strick rules.

    I like it as l get one bill each month and dont have lots of little receipts.

    I used to have a BP card but didn't renew because of the fees. Attracted a $5 a mth fee plus depending on the servo they added 2 cents a litre to the bowser price. I rang BP and queried these charges for the privalage of buying THIER product only to be told that $1000 a month didn't qualify me for a discount. So I told them to cancel it. What I have now is an account at my prefered servo. I get a small discount and a monthly statement. Beauty of it is I get the same convienience of a monthly statement and I'm supporting a local Independant at the same time.
    Cheers, Jason.

    I have a Visa Debit card for the business account - makes it real easy to keep track of expenses.
