Update: Here’s more info from one of our reader. Kapil Khurana Says,
Though cash back cap is 500 per month but cash back cap on FUEL is only 200 per month. This is how 500 cap is broken:
- 200 – fuel
- 200 – telecom (postpaid mobile / landline bill payments)
- 100 – utility bills
#3 Citibank Indian Oil Credit Card (Platinum)

#4 Indusind Iconia Credit Card (American Express Variant)
Indusind Iconia American express credit card
While Indusind Iconia is not basically a Fuel Credit card, but this is one of the rare cards that gives you reward points even on Fuel spends. The reward rate of the card remains same for the Fuel as well. Good thing about the reward points with indus-ind is that you can redeem them for Cash credit on statement which is as good as cashback concept.
- Fuel CashBack Rate: Upto 2% (as points)
#5 American Express Gold Charge Card
American Express donot give reward points or cashback as an in-built feature on any cards. However, Amex is recently running a short term promotion that gives you 3% cashback on fuel spends upto Rs.1,50,000 (or Rs.4,500 Cashback).
- Fuel CashBack Rate: 3% (temporary)
Temporary Promos on Fuel Cashback/Reward points listed here
Above are some of the cards that has fuel surcharge waiver & cashback benefit on them. Personally, my fuel expenses are quite less and so i prefer cash until recently i started using my Amex Plat Travel card to avail 3% cashback. Then came the whooping 5X reward Points offer on HDFC in tie up with BPCL.
I recently attempted to use my HDFC Diners black to avail this offer. I noticed that they refunded me the Fuel Surcharge & also tax component but the 5X reward points is yet to kick in. Lets see how HDFC deals with it as they mention in many pages that reward points do not accrue on Fuel spends. HDFC is always mysterious about reward points stuffs
