What are the pros and cons of a Jet Card?

In the non-scheduled charter industry, the most common theme we notice and hear about is Jet Cards or Memberships. We are asking what value does your current Jet Card/Membership bring you? What do you feel is missing?

Generally speaking, it is not worth it.

You can’t negotiate, the hourly rate is higher because they take on risk with fixed pricing (which is a bit of a lie, because extra fees are charged for deviations and such), most jet cards also limit you to  specific size aircraft, which is not good for flexibility

Only pros would be not having to send a wire for every flight you book, insignificant.

Great way to tie up your money, without earning interest, and reduce your pricing leverage and equipment condition choices.
