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

Key Benefits and Charges​

  • Rent Payment Charges: Rs 199+GST for each transaction
  • Foreign Currency Markup: Dnt know yet for SBI Card RuPay JCB Variant.
  • Interest Rate: 3.5% per month or 42% annually

I am talking about UPI Spends in Eligible Categories only.

So you are getting Regular Reward Points
(1.25%)in BPCL RUPAY for UPI txns too, irrespective of Txn Amount ?

I also told regarding eligible transactions only.. yes 1.25% in Basic BPCL RUPAY and for Rest 0.25%

Important to note from the T&Cs (page 33):

For payments made through UPI at BPCL petrol pumps, 1 Reward Points per `100 spent will be applicable.
I already told that in my earlier message and no surcharge waiver & follow me for more info 😬
 
Any idea how to apply for this card in Rupay variant? The SBI sprint directs to BPCL Octane which i guess is Visa only
Well, card variant is issued at the discretion of the bank. You can only request for a specific variant from the bank after you get your card. At the end of the day, bank has to issue it to you.

So accelerated points will be available only if you swipe the card on a POS machine.

We have to wait until any update comes in any app for adding rupay cc for making tap & pay payment like visa/Mastercard so that we don't need to keep physical card.
 
Is there rewards for upi transactions?
I got my Visa card last month. I will call ask them to convert to Rupay.
I don’t think I would spend 2 lakhs on this card for fees waiver but can try if use it on upi for small transactions.

In case of SBI, if some card is available in multiple networks, then you can request for specific network.
I requested branch employee to issue VISA DC, when my MC DC was expiring. Now I've VISA DC.
While applying for BPCL as well, I applied via SPRINT, and during verification call from SBI, I told agent to issue RUPAY card. Now I've got RUPAY BPCL card.
(Must be similar process for other banks. We can get lots of such tthings done, if we ask nicely/sternly with bank employees)

But the agents at sbi says they can't apply co-branded cards and cashback card. It seems there are two types of agents in sbi. One at branch, who can't apply co-branded. And one at pumps, railway station, airport who can apply co-branded cards also.
You can apply via SPRINT portal of SBI.
Then during phone verification stage, ask for specific card network variant, as long as bank issues card+network combination.
SBI is slowly moving all such processes to online only.

Few people are saying that Amazon/Flipkart 10% offer isn't applicable on BPCL Rupay Variant. If this is true then what's the use of Rupay Octane card if we have to anyway swipe this card at BPCL petrol pumps?

who is saying?
Whoever it is, They are wrong.

You can refer to T&C doc of any such recent Amazon/Flipkart SBI offer page. All SBI cards except "Cashback Card" are eligible for e-com offers.
(It may so happen, that after a new card variant is launched, it's BIN is not added in the eligible list for first few months.)

That in most of the cases work.
But the limit in most of the cases given by sprint is very bad if not 10k, 15k or 20k

You can use SBI BPCL RuPay Variant on Amazon/flipkart etc all sales discount offers.

Note - i dnt know about SBI Octane RuPay variant yet but this is new BIN, if not updated then they will update after few months.
