Commuters loyal to IOCL. Monthly fuel spend of ₹3-5K returns ₹1,500-2,500/year — clears fee comfortably.
Final verdict
Cheaper cousin of IndianOil Axis Premium. If fuel is ₹3K+/month at IOCL, this card pays for itself. For lower spends, a generic 2% card suffices.
FAQ
Is the 4% cap monthly or annual?
Capped ₹100/month on fuel rewards (equivalent to ₹2,500/month fuel spend).
Does it work at BPCL/HPCL pumps?
Works on the Visa/Mastercard network but no accelerated earn — only base 2%.
Do Servo-branded pumps qualify as IOCL?
Yes — Servo is the IndianOil lubricants brand; fuel purchased at IndianOil-branded pumps using the card qualifies.
