Finally Closed my SBI BPCL Card

[psmangat5]

I was using sbi bpcl from last 10 months, raising complaints and tracking them everytime you refuel your car is not worth. moreover the points are not 0.25p for mainstream vouchers like amazon. they take 7500 points for 1000 amazon voucher. sometimes they don't even reverse the fuel surcharge. Conclusion: Its not worth.

I have this card, but keeping it just for SBI 10% instant discount offers 😀.

But BPCL has one of lowest annual fee criteria,Only 50000 . Forget about reward points/cashback in any SBI card (except SBI cashback card). SBI also took back rewards points from my simplyclick in unethical ways. But I kept the card for online instant discounts . SBI BPCL could be easy in the same way and easily get a annual fee waiver. No petrol purchase, no rewards points, nothing else needed.

Same problem with HPCL BOB ENERGIE Credit Card. Every time after refuel I need to mail them for accelerated rewards . Now I have completely stopped using the card and planning to close it before renewal.

Fuel Cards are not worth the hassle, Petrol Pumps use POS machines from paytm etc and not company provided machines so we don't get points.

How did you get LTF card?

How did you get LTF card?

its a cobranded card. My employer has provided it.

earlier adding money to hello bpcl app gave points properly, from this month, it is gone as well

 

[psmangat5]

SBI executive called and didn't let me close the card. He refunded my annual fees, don't know untill when I get the credit.

You can keep getting the annual fees refunded every year. So it will be like LTF only. That is what I am doing with my SBI card too.

He promised me to refund the fees but No refund was made. In case I close the account and don't pick up call of sbi executive will it be closed automatically?

Most probably not. Put a request again and tell on the call firmly to close it. They will try to retain again but your wish. If you don't want then say no firmly. If you were okay with refund of fees then tell them what happened before. They will make sure to raise another refund request.

I have never had any issues with SBI BPCL. My points get credited every single time. It doesn't matter where the BPCL pump is and what machine they use.

There is no need to raise any complaint. As long as you fill up for an amount between 400 to 4000, the points are automatically credited in a couple of days. There is no need to buy any voucher. Just redeem them for fuel at any BPCL pump. It makes no difference which CC machine is used to swipe the card. It can be Paytm, Axis, SBI etc

No. Never. Why do we need to use those?

just asked as most of the bpcl pumps in my area don't give rewards on sbi bpcl cc and i found one which accepts smartdrive app. used to load money into hello bpcl smartdrive and was getting rewards properly till last month, that also stopped now

How do you redeem the points on BPCL card?

 

[Lobogris]

How do you redeem the points on BPCL card?

Go to a BPCL station. Ask them to redeem. Choose a quantity you want and they will do it. Like 4000 points for Rs1,000 and so on. Most pumps are able to do it. Ask around and then go tobthe one doing it.

Find a pump that can do the redemption. You only need to do it once every few months.
