Expert Insights
Coverage beats headline rate
A slightly weaker earn rate is still the better choice when the partner fuel chain is actually easy for you to use.
Watch transaction caps
Many fuel cards look attractive until monthly limits reduce the value for heavy drivers.

FAQ
Common Questions About Fuel Cards
What is a fuel surcharge waiver?
When you buy fuel, banks typically charge a 1% surcharge. Fuel credit cards 'waive' this fee, effectively saving you 1% on every transaction, provided the transaction amount falls within the bank's specified range (usually ₹400 to ₹4,000).
Can I use my BPCL card at an IndianOil station?
Yes, you can use the card, but you will only earn the 'base' reward rate (usually 0.25% to 0.5%) instead of the accelerated 4-7% fuel rewards. You will also likely not receive the surcharge waiver.
How do I redeem fuel reward points?
Redemption varies by bank. SBI and ICICI allow you to redeem points directly at the pump via POS machines. HDFC and Axis points are often converted into fuel vouchers or credited against your statement through their respective reward portals.
