Who should get it

The BPCL SBI Card OCTANE is a single-purpose tool: if you fill up at BPCL pumps and spend roughly ₹5,000–₹10,000 a month on fuel, the 25 reward points per ₹100 (6.25% back) plus the 1% surcharge waiver — about 7.25% combined — is among the best fuel returns in India, and the ₹1,499 + GST fee is easily waived at ₹2 lakh annual spend.

Look elsewhere if you are not loyal to BPCL or want an all-rounder. Eligible card-paid fuel reward points cap at 2,500 per statement cycle, the 10X dining/grocery/movie rate is capped at 7,500 points monthly, everything else earns just 1 point per ₹100, and points redeem at a fixed ₹0.25 each — so its value is concentrated almost entirely at the BPCL pump.

Reward exclusions

Transactions that do not earn Reward points

Eligibility follows the merchant category code and transaction data received by the issuer, so the merchant name alone may not determine whether a transaction earns rewards.

  • Non-eligible fuel, including BPCL fuel paid through RuPay UPI
  • Rent and wallet loads
  • Balance transfers, cash advances and financial charges
  • Flexipay and merchant EMI transactions
  • Returned, reversed or successfully disputed transactions

Eligible BPCL fuel paid through the card channel earns accelerated points within the fuel cap. The dining, grocery, department-store and movie multiplier has a separate cap and merchant exceptions.
