Petroleum Club
Which oil companies are partners with Air France/Flying Blue/Petroleum Club.
My husband works in Uganda for Tullow Oil. Would he qualify for membership. We are flying from Jo'burg to CDG/Venice/CDG in April. Merci

Yes you should qualify no problem.
Whether you can easily get them to process it is another thing. I gave up eventually as even when they told me on the phone it was approved nothing happened.

Skyteam lounge access with Petroleum Club?
I seem to remember that lounge access at other airports than AMS and CDG was also a benefit for PC members, though I can't find that bit anymore at the klm website.
So specifically: Flying AMS-BKK-AMS next month, will my PC card allow me access to the Skyteam lounge at BKK? Milewise I'm technically still on Ivory level.

Petroleum Club gives you access to CDG and AMS lounges only.
If you have a layover of over 3 hours at either airport you can also ask for a refreshments voucher. In AMS this is worth €15. There are other benefits, too.

As for whether Tullow is registered, just go through the process (giving the proper registered address when asked) and if it's in so are you. I would imagine they would be, but the easiest way to find out is to try and register.

I am a PC member for over 10 years...and I have only benefitted...er...once (Voucher and subsequently a lovely breakfast at Flo at 2F)
If you Don't have Gold or Platinum status, and even more if you don't have silver it is a pretty nice card.

Just received my Petroleum Club card.
Does anyone know where the Flying Blue Petroleum private lounge at the Paris CDG Pullman hotel is located with regard to the passenger terminals and can anyone report on the amenities offered at this lounge?

increase in value of Petroleum Club Voucher
I just received a voucher of 26 Euros for my layover in Paris between flights with the Petroleum Club. This is an improvement on the previous 15 Euros considering how expensive it is to eat at CDG.

For AMS based PC members flying directly to any (oil) destination it became rather useless to be a member. (even for a silver member)
Geneva is excluded as an oil route (In GVA actually most prominent oil trades are closed) and AF never even considered including GVA as oil route, even after many emails to do so.
So any PC AM

All Petro club card holders, please endeavour to complete the AFKL survey which you should find in your inbox, seems they are looking at augmenting the program so now is your chance to unload

Received today a link to a survey for the Petroleum card.
A question was asked about the benefits I would prefer:
Maybe some future enhancements of the - currently - useless card?
