Boyett Cruises With U.S. Bank Voyager

Fleet card provider adds marketer to partner program
HOUSTON & MODESTO, Calif. -- U.S. Bank Voyager Fleet Systems Inc., a provider of universal fleet fueling and maintenance cards, is expanding its Voyager Channel Partner Program with the addition of Boyett Petroleum. Modesto, Calif.-based Boyett Petroleum will begin issuing co-branded Cruise Americard fleet cards for its customers in the central San Joaquin Valley region of California.

The Cruise Americard cards tie into Boyett's retail branding at its Cruiser convenience stores and allows automotive fleet customers to use the cards at any of the 230,000 Voyager fuel [image-nocss] and maintenance acceptance locations throughout the United States. The Cruise Americard fleet cards will also be accepted at all of Boyett Petroleum's cardlock locations.

"Boyett Petroleum is excited about the opportunity to offer our fleet customers a more comprehensive fuel management system. We look forward to growing the Cruise Americard through our new Voyager Channel Partnership," said Dale Boyett, president of Boyett Petroleum.
