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

BPCL SBI Credit Card OCTANE Rewards Redemption​

Each reward point for BPCL SBI credit card OCTANE is worth 25p. We can redeem the reward points for either fuel or from the reward catalogue. Fuel redemption makes more sense as it is instant redemption at the listed outlets.
  • PoS redemption is supported at outlets listed here.
  • E-Voucher redemption is supported at outlets listed here.

Complimentary Airport Lounge Access​

  • Domestic Airport Lounge Access: 4 complimentary visits per year
  • International Airport Lounge Access: Not Available

  • Rent Payment Charges: Rs 199+GST for each transaction

Hi,
Can any sbi octane credit card user confirm on this?

I have recently received octane credit card.Made a fuel purchase for 300rs at BPCL.When transaction got settled,310rs was charged.
While I took chat support,over chat,representative told 1% or minimum 10rs will be charged!!!

I was thinking no minimum transaction amount is needed for octane card

I just checked my statement, i filled petrol worth 300 last to last week, amount deducted 303.54 and i got fuel surcharge wavier of 3 rupees after 3 days.
 
In my case for 300rs of fuel,flat 10rs was charged when transaction got settled,then 3.01rs was reversed as waiver.this is clearly not making any sense.sbi chat representative is saying minimum 1% or 10rs is applicable for all fuel purchase which is contradiction to what is mentioned in the octane brochure
Brochure says- no minimum transaction needed for waiver,no mention of minimum 10rs as fee

Can anyone explain me the accelerated RP's point in point(b). Octane gives 2.5% on selected categories. Here it is in the list of exclusion. So confusing. Just got the BPCL Octane Rupay CC delivered. @VISHESH_BANSAL

Got my Octane Rupay last week. Saw this clause. Got completely confused as to whether they have excluded 5311, 5411, 5812, 5813, 5814, 7832, 7922 from Accelerated RPs.

Since we can spend max of 10000 on fuel to get optimal rps per month (coming to 120000/yr), I was hoping to spend the remaining 80k on grocery/departmental stores as well as dining. But reading the above clause made me think, if they are excluding these most common MCCs encountered in Grocery or Dining, how will I achieve the 2 lakh for annual fee waiver.

Thanks to your post, the matter has been clarified by experts that we will get Accelerated RPs on the above mentioned seven MCCs.

How has been your experience with swiping this card at Grocery/ Departmental stores or dining. Are you getting 10x RPs
