Travel card rebate check Published Jan. 18, 2011 By Susan Griggs 81st Training Wing Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- When you pay your travel card bill on time, Keesler reaps the benefits, according to 2nd Lt. William Kiser, 81st Comptroller Squadron financial services flight commander. "The more you charge on your Government Travel Card or Controlled Spend Account, the more rebates we receive - as long as you pay the bill," Lieutenant Kiser said. Earlier this month, Keesler received a $12,800 rebate, its first in more than a year. The amount was based on the size of the base and card usage. Air Education and Training Command received a total of $223,000 in rebates. "We've now met the 2 percent delinquency standard for seven months in a row," the lieutenant pointed out. "Our delinquency rate last quarter was only .76 percent." The rebate funds are available for Brig. Gen. Andrew Mueller, 81st Training Wing commander, to allocate as he sees fit. "We are primed to receive the next quarter's rebate," Lieutenant Kiser added. "A lot of people have worked hard over the months to accomplish this - the financial services office, squadron GTC agency program coordinators, commanders, chiefs, first sergeants and the members who pay their bills on time."
