Just to update this thread, I’ve heard back from Rocket Route that the real problem is that ENKJ is a ‘self serve’ location whatever that means. So no, their system doesn’t work there. Or I suppose (my inference) most places where there isn’t a fueler or someone who will take cash anyway. Apparently they are working on a solution, but I have to say, not impressed.
I’m not sure there’s a benefit. The thing with RR app is that anyone with a credit card can order fuel in 5 min and pay some weeks later when they charge the CC. No Sterling card involved.
Compared to paying with CC at fueling truck, formalities at airport are reduced, as you only sign the quantity delivered.

Is the fuel then charged to your Sterling card? So actually this process avoid the fueler having to fill out the form with your Sterling card # etc? What is the benefit?

Yes I received a fuel release in email, not PDF, referring to regular credit card. No mention of BP card either way.
Thanks for the Eggemoen tip!
+1 for Eggemoen
Did you receive a fuel release document in PDF? It says no card needed in the release.
AVGAS/JET A1 available (all major CCs) at Eggemoen, ENEG, about 10 minutes flying time from Kjeller. AVGAS is NOK 16.50/litre (~EUR 1.77).
Well the Rocket Route fuel at Kjeller did not go well. I set up the account and received various confirmations. The airport manager received emails about it but had no idea what to do. He thought it would require a special fuel card which he did not have.
In the event he sold me fuel for cash.
My complaint to Rocket Route has not yet been favoured with a reply.
I would recommend getting a BP card. I have used it at a number of airfields in and outside France, including LFKC, EKRK, ENKJ, ENBR, LOWS, EDNY…
You can determine whether BP fuel is available using the RocketRoute Marketplace
