The BPCL SBI Card OCTANE charges ₹1,499 plus GST as a joining fee and the same ₹1,499 again at renewal. SBI Card waives the renewal fee if you spend ₹2L in the previous year, which is about ₹16,667 a month. If your card spend sits below that, treat ₹1,499 as a real yearly cost that your rewards have to clear first.
25X Reward Points on BPCL fuel and lubricants are limited at 2500 points per billing cycle.
10X Reward Points on Dining, Departmental Stores, Grocery & Movies are limited at 7500 points per calendar month.
Fuel surcharge waiver applies only on BPCL POS transactions up to ₹4,000 with a ₹100 monthly cap.
