Fuel credit cards are generally not a good fit for most cases. But with rising fuel costs, this expense has become a large part of our monthly expenses. So, I have been exploring fuel credit cards to see if there is one that can provide good benefits. Here is a review of the IndianOil Axis Bank Credit Card. This is one of the fuel cards that would be a good fit with your existing credit cards.

The annual fee waiver at Rs 50000 means we need to spend only Rs 4200/month on fuel to make the card LTF.

The IndianOil Axis Bank card earns EDGE Reward points for transactions.

IndianOil Axis Bank Credit Card Review – Rewards
  • 4% fuel rewards will only be valid for purchases between Rs 100 and Rs 5000.
  • Accelerated EDGE RP for fuel is capped at 1000 RP per month. This caps the maximum fuel for 4% return at Rs 5000 per calendar month. It should be enough for the majority but little on the less side for cars considering fuel prices.
  • 1% fuel surcharge waiver for transactions between Rs 200 and Rs 5000. Maximum waiver of Rs 50 per statement. This caps the fuel surcharge waiver at Rs 5000 worth of fuel spent in a statement cycle.

We get the 4% EDGE Rewards benefit for using any fuel pump and any POS. No restrictions. You just have to use an IOCL fuel pump. This is where the IOCL Axis credit card is better than the IOCL Citibank card.

Pros and Cons

Should you get the IOCL Axis Bank credit card?

The IndianOil Axis Bank credit card is one of the rare fuel credit cards with good benefits. We need to spend Rs 4200 per calendar month to get an annual fee waiver. So, if your fuel spends are between Rs 4200 to Rs 5000 per calendar month, you can look at this card as one of the options. Do take care not to spend beyond Rs 5000 per month on fuel with the IOCL Axis credit card. Anything beyond that will neither get accelerated rewards not fuel surcharge waiver.

      Yes, everything is visible as one EDGE Rewards balance when we go for points transfer.

      1. @CardMaven bro, how will transfer work if I have both cards, do I get 5:4 ratio or 10:1 ? The 5:4 transfer ratio on this card would be really amazing … please clarify ?

  1. HI, If the IndianOil Axis Bank credit card will not earn any EDGE Rewards for fuel spends then what is the benefit.
