Additional Benefits

Fuel Card

BFA franchisee members can apply for a fuel card of their choice (Fuel+, Texaco, BP, Shell or Esso Truck) accepted at selected UK filling stations.

Each card will currently give the holder 4p discount on the pump price of regular diesel or 2p discount on the pump price of regular unleaded at the selected stations. Supermarket purchases will be charged at pump prices. Cards have NO admin or annual fee and are exclusive to franchisee members.

Members can apply for as many cards as they want and for as many vehicles as they operate. To benefit from the negotiated discounts cards must be applied for by the following UK Fuel Cards exclusive link and applicants must be BFA franchisee members. Please note that the card works like a credit card with monthly bills but must be paid by DD set up on the application form.

Viking discounts

In addition to the Fuel Card benefit, you can also access unbeatable prices on a wide range of stationary, cleaning supplies and workplace essentials at Viking, including getting 15% off your first order!

Enjoy locked-in, unbeatable prices on top-selling essentials across multiple categories. From notepads and marker pens to coffee and toilet rolls, you’ll get consistent savings on the everyday products your workplace relies on!
