Cashback Mechanism on Fuel Spends
• Cashback is credited as a percentage of the fuel amount spent
• It is usually applied as a statement credit in the next billing cycle
• Some cards offer flat cashback, while others apply it on partner fuel brands
• Cashback is calculated only if the transaction meets eligibility criteria
• Maximum monthly cashback limits may apply to fuel categories
Reward Points on Fuel Transactions
• Reward points are earned based on card’s fuel reward rate and merchant code
• Co-branded cards offer higher points at partnered fuel stations
• Points may be used for fuel redemption or gift vouchers
• Some issuers offer fuel-specific points convertible to free fuel
• Reward earnings are reflected in the card statement or rewards portal
Fuel Surcharge Waiver Process
• The 1% surcharge charged by the pump is reversed by the issuer later
• This waiver is usually limited to transactions within a specific range
• It does not apply to taxes or fees beyond the surcharge itself
• Waiver credits are auto-applied in 2 to 3 business days or in the next cycle
• Monthly waiver caps vary depending on the card type
Eligibility and Exclusions
• Wallet or app-based fuel payments may be excluded from cashback or rewards
• Non-partner stations may earn reduced or no benefits
• Fuel benefits may not apply on commercial fuel purchases or fleet cards
• Cashback may not be applied if the transaction is reversed or refunded
• Some cards require activation of the fuel offer beforehand
Tips for Ensuring Cashback or Reward Credit
• Swipe the card directly at eligible partner fuel stations
• Keep transactions within the defined value limits to qualify
• Review your card’s statement monthly to track reward or cashback credit
• Contact customer care if benefits are not reflected within the expected timeline
• Prefer co-branded fuel cards for maximized and consistent reward application
