| Captain's Club Benefits
Benefit #1
We will take 10% of all of your purchases during the year and allow you to use that amount to get 50% off on clothing and gifts. (Example: You spent $1000 during 2007 at the OIFC and thus are credited $100. You can now buy $200 worth of clothing and gifts and you will only have to pay $100 as your Captain’s Club credit you earned will cover the other $100 ). Simply visit the OIFC between November 15th and December 31st and we will have your credit ready for you to go shopping.
Benefit #2
The state of North Carolina charges a road tax of $.30 per gallon. Since you have purchased the fuel for use in a boat and not on the road, you should not have to pay the road tax. The state does not allow the road tax to be discounted on the front end of the purchase, thus you must fill out a State of NC form # 1201GS and include your fuel receipts in order to receive a refund for the road tax you have been charged.
As a member of the OIFC Capt. Club, all of your fuel purchases are recorded and at the end of the year, you will be supplied with a report of all your fuel purchases from the OIFC. Since the OIFC only sells fuel to boats, there is no disputing or hassles from the state that may argue the road tax refund is not due.
Just think, $.30 per gallon you are going to get back by simply purchasing your fuel at the OIFC and being a member of the Capt. Club. There is no hassle of keeping up with various receipts and no hassle from the state as to whether your receipts are valid or not. So next time you step up to the pump, don’t fret the high prices, instead, know that you are actually paying the pump price less $.30/gallon, and that isn’t so bad!
Benefit #3
On behalf of the Ocean Isle Fishing Center Captain’s Club, we are taking a leadership role in addressing various fishery related political issues. This year our efforts were instrumental in finally getting a ban on all commercial Menhaden netting off Brunswick County beaches. Other projects in the works involve waterway trawling and gill netting.
Benefit #4
You are on our mail list and will receive promotional flyers as well as the upcoming OIFC custom catalog.
Thank you for your business and we look forward to serving you in the future.
