As is common with fuel cards, you may be approved with at least a fair credit score of 580. Always do your research and know that approval isn’t guaranteed.
If your personal credit score is below 670 or your commercial credit score is below 530, Fuelman may flag your card as high-risk. You may subsequently be charged more on fuel purchases.

The Fuelman Advantage Fleet Card, issued by Fuelman, is for fleet managers who want to save at retail fuel locations. While it offers competitive discounts and rebates, it’s weighed down by high fees. These include a minimum program administration fee of up to 10 cents per gallon or $2 per transaction, as well as a monthly card fee of up to $10 per card. Such costs and other fees can easily wipe out your rebates.
In light of the fees, the standout features of the card may be its versatility and monitoring tools for fleet managers. You can use the card at thousands of locations, including fuel and maintenance brands. And with purchase controls and detailed reporting, you can cut down on wasted spend and create more precise budgets.
