Rewards​

The BPCL SBI credit card OCTANE has a 6.25% reward rate for all BPCL spends including Bharat Gas spends. Other than this, it also gives good rewards for Dining, Departmental Stores, Grocery & Movies category spends. This makes it easy to achieve the required spends for an annual fee waiver.

TYPE OF SPENDREWARD POINTSRETURN
BPCL Fuel, Lubricants & Bharat Gas Spends25 RP per Rs 100
*Maximum 2500 RP per billing cycle
* Rs 4000 Max transaction value for rewards
* 1% fuel surcharge waiver
6.25%
Dining, Departmental Stores, Grocery & Movies10 RP per Rs 100

*Maximum 7500 RP per month
2.5%
Other spends (Except Non-BPCL Fuel and Wallets)1 reward point per Rs 1000.25%

The monthly transaction value to hit the max cap of accelerated fuel rewards would be Rs 10,000. This should be more than enough for most people. We can also spend on other categories like Departmental Stores and Grocery to reach the annual fee waiver. The 2.5% value back on these is also pretty good.

Milestone Rewards​

Spend Rs 2 Lakhs to get the annual fee waiver and get maximum rewards on fuel transactions.
  • Rs 2000 gift voucher on Rs 3 Lakhs spend in a membership year (0.67% Return)
  • Gift voucher options: Aditya Birla Fashion, Yatra, Urban Ladder, Hush Puppies, and Bata

It’s reflecting as Rs 415.44
Even after 3 days No fuel surcharge reversal happened.
Note: I paid via Swipe (not upi)
The Petrol pump is in the Listed pumps for SBI card octane!!

I face this problem typically once in a month.
You need to mail them to get back surcharge waiver and reward points.

They will require charge slip copy to verify

Call pe request raise karne se bhi missing rp and surcharge waiver mil jata hai without charge slip proof . Or app se chat support k through bhi ho jata hai kam
 
Is new Rupay Spend Criteria for lounge access applicable on this card (BPCL Octane Rupay Select) as well??
Can anyone please tell?
RuPay Spend Criteria is only for RuPay Exclusive Lounge Opened at Delhi Airport Terminal 3.

You can enjoy other non-Exclusive RuPay lounge.

There is no lounge access on SBI BPCL Octane

Is there any use in this credit card? been reading about RP not credited and we have to raise complaints every time, and not all the bpcl stations are accepting fuel purchase through RPs.

got an offer for FYF and immediately applied and set PIN for virtual card without researching much 🙁 Now having second thought...

You will be able to find the fuel stations especially if you are living in any Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities. I am able to redeem points in a nearby fuel station.

I fill my car with the card and my wife's Activa is running LTF 🤣

There is no issues bro … idk why some people are not getting the RP on time … I’m sharing my experience… every month 10k fueling … after transaction settlement getting RP and surcharge waiver timely … accumulated over 50k RP since issuance and redemption over smartdrive bpcl app is seamless.

Initially, I believed it wouldn't happen and didn't keep track. However, I eventually noticed that SBI sometimes randomly failed to credit reward points (RPs) and the surcharge waiver.

On multiple occasions, RPs were not credited after settlement. Consequently, I had to email them, and they would then credit the reward points as IOC Surcharge Waiver, even when the fuel station was BPCL.
