“One Card to Rule Fuel, Fleet & Field Expenses” — Coast’s All-In-One Solution Rolls Out"
About CoastPay Visa-business card
CoastPay has introduced a unified Visa-business card and
expense management platform that enables businesses to handle all
vehicle-related costs—fuel, maintenance, field purchases, employee/vendor
expenses, etc.—using a single card and dashboard. It combines expense tracking,
spending controls, fraud protection, and rewards. All those formerly fragmented
costs (fuel, fleet upkeep, field tools/supplies, travel, vendor payments) are
consolidated for reporting, approvals, and reconciliation.

Is This Offer Profitable ?
Here are the pros and cons, and a verdict on whether it's
likely to be a good deal for businesses:
|
Benefits |
Potential Drawbacks / Considerations |
|
Strong cost savings: average savings on fuel bills
of ~10%. |
The “average” is based on particular fleet sizes and usage
patterns — smaller fleets or those already efficient may see less benefit. |
|
Simplified operations: single card, unified expense
reporting, fewer reimbursement hassles, streamlined accounting. |
You’ll need to ensure your team adopts/use the system
properly: setting rules, collecting receipts, using job codes, etc. If
there’s slack in enforcement, savings drop. |
|
Fraud protection & spend control: driver
verification, GPS integrations, blocking merchants / enforcing policies. |
Some features (fraud protection, real-time blocking, etc.)
may require enabling higher tiers or advanced settings; not all businesses
may need or want all controls. Might add complexity. |
|
Rewards & rebates: per-gallon discounts,
non-fuel cash-back. |
Rebates depend on station acceptance, whether they provide
line-item fuel purchase data, etc. If drivers fuel at non-participating
stations, rebate benefits may be lower. |
|
Transparent costs & minimal hidden fees: no
personal guarantee, modest monthly/user cost. |
Must watch for late payment fees, returned payment fees,
or transaction fees in some cases (e.g. international) as described in the
terms. |
Review
For most U.S. businesses with fleets (transportation, field services,
contractors, etc.), the Coast card + expense platform is likely profitable
— i.e. the savings, efficiency, fraud prevention and rebates should outweigh
the costs, provided the business uses the tools proactively (sets rules,
monitors usage, consolidates spend).
If your operations are very small (e.g. very few vehicles),
or your field expenses are minimal / irregular, or you already have an
efficient system, the marginal benefit may be less. But overall, this appears
to be a strong offer.
