Based on my understanding, the SBI BPCL Octane Card seems to be the most beneficial, offering a 7.25% cashback on every ₹100 spent using the credit card. I wanted to share my personal experience with this.
When I applied for the card, I had the option to choose between the BPCL Classic and the BPCL Octane cards. For my first experience with a fuel card, I opted for the BPCL Classic Card, which has a joining fee of ₹500. Upon activation, it provides 2,000 reward points as a welcome benefit. These reward points can be redeemed through the SBI Card app, or alternatively, they can be used to refuel petrol worth ₹500. Currently, I am using this card and find it to be quite satisfactory.
However, I am considering upgrading to the BPCL Octane Card, which I believe offers better value. The Octane Card has a joining fee of ₹1,500 and provides 6,000 reward points as a welcome benefit, which can be redeemed in the same way as the BPCL Classic Card rewards. It's worth noting that both cards cannot be used simultaneously. If you want to upgrade, you'll need to either close the existing card or switch to the upgraded one.
Overall, I think the BPCL Octane Card stands out as the better option, thanks to its higher rewards and benefits.
