Questions
Can a fuel card account be paid through RewardsPilot?
Yes. The fuel card provider's monthly invoice is a supplier bill. It is paid by bank transfer to the provider with the account reference, by its due date.
Do vehicle lease payments count?
Yes, where the leasing company is paid by bank transfer against an invoice. Submit each invoice with its pay-by date.
How does a haulage firm earn points with RewardsPilot?
By paying the bills it already pays through the programme: supplier invoices, payroll through CrestPay, and HMRC bills such as VAT and PAYE. RewardsPilot invoices the business, pays the bill on its behalf, and credits 4 RewardsPilot points per £1 of the net amount when the invoice payment clears.
Does the supplier or HMRC know the difference?
No. The payee is paid by bank transfer with the business's own reference, on time: RewardsPilot's invoice is due one day before the bill's pay-by date.
What are the points worth?
Each point transfers to one airline mile, Avios included, for flights, upgrades, hotels and car hire. Or the business sells them back for cash at 3% of the spend behind them, paid within 24 hours. Points never expire.
What does it cost?
There is no subscription or set-up fee for qualifying clients. RewardsPilot's invoice carries VAT on its service; for a VAT-registered business using it for taxable activities that VAT is intended to be recoverable through the normal VAT return, subject to its own position. This is not tax advice.
