The excellent card

I don't have a personal credit card; I use a debit card which does everything a credit card does but draws from my own money rather than credit. I have a company credit card of course but that's different, someone else's money, and even then I'm cautious with what I use it for.

This card though, the excellent card you see in the image above...well, I love this fucken card and use it all the time with a great deal of pleasure.

The organisation I work for provide me a company car and if I fly interstate they provide a car wherever I go. Along with that comes this excellent card for vehicle expenses including fuel to use at a particular chain of service stations around the country to purchase fuel and other car-related things. There's almost two thousand outlets and I zip the card and off I go, fuel or other car stuff paid for. That's an excellent card right?

There's no limit to the fuel I can purchase and I can even use 98 octane (the really costly stuff) and the cool thing is I'm not limited to work use only. I'm able to use my company vehicle for private use any time I like including annual leave and can travel anywhere in the country with it...and that most excellent card comes with me of course. Legit right?

I like the organisation I work for; they're generous and ensure I am well-remunerated, comfortable and have the right tools to do my job and, for me, part of that is the need to be mobile which means flights, accommodation, vehicles and other expenses; they put trust in me that I'll do the right thing, and I do. I know I'm on a good thing and will protect that by doing the right thing.

Having company vehicles allows me to pick and choose my own private vehicles to suit my needs rather than having to have something that's multi-purpose for work and personal and it saves me a lot of money in fuel and vehicle maintenance costs considering I'm able to use my company vehicles all the time...it's a privilege I've worked hard over my life to earn, I mean being the right person to get a job such as I have, and it's something I am disinclined to jeopardise, there's just too much to loose. With the cost of fuel pushing well over $2.00/L here regularly the company vehicle and accompanying fuel card gets a lot of personal use and it saves me thousands of dollars a year.

What perks have you received (earned) from your workplace, if any, or how have you turned your work situation into an advantage that crosses over to your personal life as a benefit? Have you ever taken a little more than the company wanted to give, done the wrong thing, and had it cost your job or do you do what I do and respect the privileges given? Feel free to tell me about it in the comments.
