CITGO MasterCard 

HOUSTON -- CITGO Petroleum Corporation is offering a 20 percent rebate on CITGO purchases for the first 60 days of account opening, as part of the enrollment incentives for its new co-brand credit card - the Citi® Platinum Select® CITGO MasterCard®, which the public can apply for.

The promotion is being met with considerable enthusiasm by CITGO's branded marketers. "Our company represents several major brands and in my opinion, CITGO's co-brand offer is absolutely the best promotion going," said Pat O'Connell, vice president operations at Energy North Group in Boston. "I'm not only referring to the launch offer, but the ongoing offer as well. If I'm a consumer, why wouldn't I want to save up to $600 a year on gasoline? If I'm a retailer, why wouldn't I want to have the lower processing fee?"

CITGO customers who apply and are approved for the Citi Platinum Select CITGO MasterCard can earn a 20 percent rebate on CITGO purchases for the first 60 days their account is open. Once the launch promotion ends, cardholders continue to earn valuable rebates on CITGO purchases (4 percent) and up to 1 percent on other qualified purchases. Cardholders may earn up to $50 in rebates each month. All rebates are automatically credited on the cardholder's statement against future CITGO purchases made with the card.

"The Citi Platinum Select CITGO MasterCard is a major component in a national campaign dedicated to strengthening the CITGO marketing program slate," said Alan Flagg, CITGO general manager, light oils marketing. "We are excited to be able to offer card holders significant rebates on all CITGO purchases."

The Deadline is June 1 for Labeling Your Retail & Wholesale-Purchaser

Consumer (WPC) Diesel Pumps/Tanks

The labeling requirements in the federal diesel sulfur rule are effective at retail on June 1, 2006 (even though the retail implementation date for tracking downgrades and EPA enforcement of the 15ppm sulfur standard for stations labeled ULSD in not until October 15, 2006. Labels should be posted in a conspicuous place on each retail diesel dispenser and WPC tank.

Initially, every diesel pump island offering Highway Diesel Fuel (today’s Low Sulfur Diesel with diesel specification of 500ppm max) must be labeled with the LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL pump label.  The same is true for wholesale customers with tanks on-site.  These must be labeled.

If you have a retail site or WPC tank that eventually transitions to the new ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL (ULSD), sulfur specifications of 15ppm max, then you can replace the old label with the new ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL pump label when you are sure you have achieved the 15ppm sulfur level.

If you have a retail site of WPC site offering today’s High Sulfur Diesel (sulfur level is >500 ppm and this fuel is dyed red), there is a label requirement for this also.  From June 1, 2006-May 31, 2007, these facilities must be labeled with the NON-HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL pump label.

The LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL and NON-HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL Labels will be available for shipment to Citgo customers on April 14, 2006.  These items can be ordered now in the Branding section of Citgo Marketnet under the following material codes:

K02-LS LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUL (500 ppm sulfur Maximum)

K02-NH NON-HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (May exceed 500 ppm sulfur)

We will notify you when the ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) labels are available.

For more information on the new federal ULTRA-LOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL requirements, log on to www.clean-diesel.org
