The Game Day Impact Jet Card enables flyers to support their favorite college sports program as part of their program purchase.
The Game Day Impact Jet Card is designed for collegiate sports fans who want to support their teams and gain access to potential shared flights.
Game Day Private Jets’ first jet card is billed as “the first and only private aviation card program dedicated to supporting college athletics, NIL opportunities, and donor-activated travel experiences.”
The new jet card has three funding levels: $100,000, $250,000, and $500,000.
Founder & CEO Luis Garcia says, “College athletics has entered a new era, and the most forward-thinking supporters are looking for ways to do more than write a check.”
The former Wheels Up executive continues, “They want access, experience, impact, and confidence that their dollars are being used in a positive and compliant way.”
Garcia says, “The Game Day Impact Jet Card brings all of that together through private aviation.”
The first 100 buyers gain Game Day Lifetime Membership status.
Current price for an annual Family Membership is $949.
The key feature of the new jet cards is the Game Day Impact Fund.
Per the announcement:
‘A defined allocation is designed to create immediate impact for the buyer’s chosen school through NIL, marketing, student-athlete opportunities, and other compliant college athletics initiatives. The structure is designed to support commercial opportunities, student-athlete marketing activations, school-aligned initiatives, and long-term donor engagement without relying solely on traditional fundraising models. As athletic departments navigate direct revenue sharing, NIL, roster investment, donor fatigue, and rising competitive demands, Game Day provides a way to convert premium travel demand into a recurring source of athletics-aligned impact.’
Jet card customers can use remaining funds for on-demand charter flights, shared flights, and possible shuttles.
Vice President Ross Flurry says, “This is about more than getting from one airport to another,” adding, “It is about the Saturday morning flight with friends, the road game that becomes a lifetime memory, the donor trip that helps fund a roster, and the ability to support student-athletes while enjoying a world-class private travel experience.”
15% of the jet card price goes to program administration.
Garcia says the fee is designed to build support for the back-end infrastructure.
The fee also covers investments in technology for additional servicing, tracking, and reporting for Game Day Impact Fund initiatives.
Last month, Game Day Private Jets signed a partnership with the Texas Tech Red Raider Club.
Other targets for shuttle flights include the University of Houston, SMU, Florida State, LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Ole Miss.
During Garcia’s tenure at Wheels Up, the company operated a series of game-day round-trip flights.
The flights allowed flyers to purchase individual seats.
