Signature Flight Support signs agreement to make National Car Rental the preferred rental car partner for its global network

Earlier this year, Signature Flight Support signed an agreement to make National Car Rental the preferred rental car partner for its global network. Today, the parties announced that members of National Car Rental’s award-winning Emerald Club loyalty program can now earn Signature TailWins™ rewards for their rental car purchases. The points are awarded for every dollar spent on rental time and mileage.

Maria Sastre, Chief Operating Officer of Signature Flight Support said, “We are very excited about our partnership with National Car Rental. Their dedication to customer service is second to none and aligns with Signature’s efforts to provide world-class service at all of our global locations. The ability for National’s customers to now earn Signature TailWins™ points extends even more value to our mutual customer base.”

”National remains focused on delivering premium service to frequent airport travelers, and we are proud to provide Signature’s unique customer base with top-notch service throughout its global network,” says Brad Carr, vice president of business rental development for Enterprise Holdings, which operates National Car Rental. “Offering customers the opportunity to earn Signature TailWins™ points further enhances our partnership and rewards customers for their loyalty.”

Signature TailWins™ is a ground-breaking loyalty program for pilots, crew, schedulers and dispatchers, corporate flight and travel departments offering one of highest rates of rewards currently available in the industry. The Signature TailWins™ program rewards customers with desirable products, services and experiences from jewelry, destination travel, electronics, technology and even a famous American motorcycle brand. Alternatively, members can donate their points to charity and can split their points amongst their flight crew, flight department staff and schedulers and dispatchers.

Points are awarded for fuel and handling purchases within the Signature network and for maintenance at Signature TECHNICAir™ locations, with double points awarded when transactions are completed with the Signature Flight Support aviation card. Members can also earn points for purchases of fuel wherever the U.S. Bank Multi Service Aviation card is accepted, worldwide, at over 7,500 locations and in 190 countries. The Signature TailWins™ program covers both AvGas and Jet-A and is applicable for purchases with the exception of military, government or transport category transactions.

The enrollment process is simple and user friendly and customers are able to use their Signature TailWins™ rewards number immediately upon enrollment. Redeeming rewards is easy with a convenient online catalog and customer Signature TailWins™ account summary that allows them to monitor their rewards balances and update their profiles. More information on Signature TailWins™ can be found at: www.signatureflight.com/rewards.
