Citibank BP Card Offer

Best Petrol Rewards Credit Card

Drive your savings further with a credit card that gives you automatic savings on everything you buy. A credit card that gives you automatic savings on everything you buy anywhere.

  • $79 annual fee
  • 20.39% p.a. on purchases
  • 20.39% p.a. on cash advances
  • 2.9% p.a. for 12 months on balance transfers
  • 5% off fuel at BP, plus 0.5% cashback on purchases

Citibank BP MasterCard Review


While being the only petrol discount card in Australia, it is by no means uncompetitive. If you spent:

  • $125 at BP on petrol a month
  • $750 paying your bills and other purchases on your BP MasterCard, you’ve saved:
  • $86 for the whole year: including offsetting the annual fee.

If you’re a frequent BP customer, or just all round frequent credit card user, you’ll understand the potential for $100’s saved.
*Note: Calculations made using old 1% off purchases figure. Current rate 0.5%.-


Who isn’t the card suitable for?


Like any card with a reward’s program or cash-back offer, if you don’t use your credit card regularly enough to at least offset the annual fee, then pass and apply for a low interest credit card instead.
-

What are some of the catches associated with the card?

  • The 5% discount at BP is capped at the first $300 of each new statement period. For petrol and petrol station groceries, it’s still quite a high cap. After $300, the discount reverts to 0.5%.
  • The 0.5% cash-back offer everywhere else is limited to the first $5,000 spent per month.
